I Hear You Loud and Clear

"Just listen to your children…God will speak through them to let you know if your priorities are right."

A very sweet, softspoken homeschooling mom gave me this quote from Debbie Strayer, yesterday. After a very long couple of weeks with Grace, it became increasingly clear to me yesterday that this was not the season for me to take on any extra projects. I wrote an apology note to my homeschool group explaining my circumstances and apologizing for not being able to organize a used book sale. I received a heartfelt note from this fellow homeschool mom that spoke directly to my heart.

I felt the Holy Spirit stir within my heart. The truth was evident. Yesterday, God answered a prayer that I had been bringing to the Lord for two or three months now.

My little girl needs me. She needs much more positive time with Mommy.

I hear God's voice loud and clear. I will act on what He has given me. He has been so good to me to show me clearly that my priorities needed to be reordered and a different course of action taken.

    Yvonne,
    Oh my, I could have written the same post on my blog. In fact I wrote a similar post on my blog over the weekend.
    The Lord has been showing me the same thing. My little girl needs me.
    Thanks for sharing.
