My ever-fabulous sister reminded me of a Sesame Street sketch we would watch as kids. We would laugh until our bellies ached because of a hilarious elephant who uncannily resembled me! No, not because I weighed 172 pounds as an 11 year-old, but because I was never patient enough to listen.

Fifteen years later, Jasmine reminded me of my elephantal resemblance. I don’t take the time to listen. I’m impatiently pushing and striving and aiming to get to the next place quicker, faster, and smarter. B, you just need to stop. You want to run, but you need to listen to the directions, she gently said. God will show you where you need to be, but until He does, just wait and listen.
Um, when did SHE become the holy one? That was always MY role in our relationship (I’m kidding, Jas… well, half kidding). When I hung up the phone, I immediately thought of my self-imposed mantra stolen from Psalm 46:10, Be still and know that I am God. I’m asking for directions, but I’m not taking the time to listen.
Am I the only one? What are the things you’re asking for, yet not listening for answers? We all have them… don’t make me feel like the elephant in the room!
