Listening

As I set in church this morning, Preacher CJ reminded us about "Remember what we Heard."

When was the first time we heard His voice?
What did He say?
Where were you at the moment He spoke to you?

These are very important questions in our lives. When I heard His voice for the first time I was in my bedroom, I had just woken up from a night out at the club with a few friends. I was done looking for a man to share my life with. As I set there I told God, "I'm done looking! If you have him out there I will wait till you are ready to send him my way! If I am meant to be alone and be a single mother for the rest of my life, that's fine!"

Days later I heard His sweet voice, "You are ready." I did not know what he meant, or was it just something in my head that I thought I wanted to hear.

Few months later I meet a preacher, 6 months after I married him. We have just celebrated our 5 year anniversary on July 29th! We have gone through hell and back and I must say it was not pretty but with Gods help we have made it this long.

I have made my mistakes and sins, and I have felt horrible and heart broken with what I had done. Since I wasn't going to church and I had felt that my God had left me, there will be no return to Him. But I was wrong God does forgive, He is almighty and forgiven God.

"The good news; we are really only accountable to the Lord. As long as we live for Him, even in our mistakes and sin. His approval is all that really matters." -Just Rise up! by Sarah Francis Martin


Psalms 145:18
The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on him in truth.

Remember He is with us no matter what. We can easily be drifted away from Jesus. We all make mistakes and He will forgive as long as we repent with a sincere heart.

What do you remember?
