Gratitude, Day 9

Today I am grateful for being able to hear God's voice through others.  It's absolutely amazing to be speaking with a complete stranger and hear something that confirms in your spirit something you had been wondering.  How blessed are we to have Him speak to us so plainly?  How many years did I travel through my life with my ears plugged, not even trying to listen?  Thank you, Lord, for caring enough about me that you would put words into someone else's mouth to comfort me without them even knowing what they were doing.

Late to the Party

This morning, while I was perusing one of the many blogs I read, I ended up hopping over to The Year of Less by Kelly in Ontario, Canada and started backtracking through the posts there. Reading her posts, I saw confirmed in print some of the stuff that has been gnawing at the back of my brain of late:

• I have too much stuff.
• I need to cut back.
• I need to live smarter.
• I need to spend more time with God. 

So, I'm joining her "Sermon on the Mount" challenge for the month of October. Granted, I'm starting late, but better late than never, right? If you'd like to join with me, just click the link below.

Be blessed!
