Half a year has gone. Time to take stock. Stop. Look. Listen. I've had an appraisal today. Time to listen. Time to talk. Things needed to be heard. All part of a journey through a year. I remember the importance of listening from my Acorn Listening courses that I have been on in the last couple of years. Sometimes it is hard to listen. We have a whole gamut of noises in our ears - with the competing voices of the needs to attend to matters of family, finance, work and rest that make up our day. What has been profitable? What has been on the debit side? Some things we may be at loss to understand why they have happened to us so far this year. So how can we account for our year so far? God is interested. Make no mistake about that. He walked where we walk - in a different way at a different time, but God identifies with our humanity because He made us and in Jesus lived amongst us as man. Are we open to hear what He has to say to us? He wants to speak into our lives. Listen. We can count on Him to make our next half-year count.
