Oh my husband! Sometimes he drives me to insanity and other times I want to throw my arms around him and kiss him furiously. No matter what, he’s the person to constantly remind me of who I am in Christ and spur me on when times are tough.
This week he is in Haiti leading a trip with Mariners Church. There are vacation bible schools to be run and medical clinics to provide and a pastor’s conference to lead, but he’s making time to lean in and hear the voice of God in his life.
I’m in Atlanta for Passion 268 with The A21 Campaign. There are questions to answer and students to be helped and long hours of work that lead into the night. But he’s urging me to push forward and fight for moment of stillness… to actively seek out a word from God.
The day we flew out we were texting back and forth and I told him I’m praying we get a word from God. His response was perfectly true.
God always speaks. It’s whether or not we are listening that really makes the difference.Β
The words I told him are the words I’ll tell you: I hope and pray God speaks loudly to you. But I also will throw in Matt’s reminder: I hope we can hear His words.
Happy Thursday! π
It’s already been asked if he has a brother, hasn’t it? π
Hahaha! I was thinking the same thing (for my sister). I guess we’d have to take a number and get in line π
Yes, God always speaks!! We are just too preoccupied with things of this world to hear His voice. Thank you for the reminder. I definitely needed it! Stay blessed B! π
sounds like something my mom would say…like when I say “But God is silent! I don’t hear Him!” and she tells me that God is always talking to us, we just have to LISTEN.

Nice post, thanks for sharing, Bianca!
Oh dear … our Dear Hearts are the bestest!!
Oh wow… how true this is! Thankful that when some of us aren’t listening, others are and they’re the one that remind us TO listen!
So good, so incredibly good! In case he didn’t already know, tell Matt he’s the man!!
I do like that German of yours. Miss you both.
Oh so true. I am always asking for a word from God or for His direction in my life. But sometimes I think I ask too much and listen too little.
I, personally, don’t know how to just listen. My mind is always racing. I so struggle with being still. And I struggle with knowing what is coming from God and what is just my own selfish wants and desires.
Oh, man! That was a smack upside the head that I needed! XO!
I want God to speak and i want to hear it.
I am glad I read this…I am desperate for a word from God, well more like to hear and discern what He has say. I am listening Lord…lol
Btw, since there are so many people in line for his brother…does he have friends? I am serious Bianca. My parents will thank you. lol
totally true.
but honestly, sometimes it’d be nice if God just texted me from time to time. you know, then i could refer back and be sure i didn’t “listen wrong”. π
Love it!
Matt is a wonderful husband Bianca!! You are blessed. Love, Mom
