Mouth closed, ears open
Sometimes during our troubles and trials, we tend to open our mouths, but shut our ears, hearts, minds, bibles, and so on. We talk (via twitter, txt, convos, facebook, blog sites, etc.) about how we feel, what's going on, and other pessimistic details about our situation . When we do this we ignore God telling us that this is His plan. We tune out the fact that it's not about how things seem. We disregard that God is doing something bigger than we could ever imagine. We forgot that our present tense sufferings are nothing compared to the joy and blessings on the way. So when you're crying your eyes out, your heart feels heavy, and you just wanna "vent". Vent to God but remember that He knows what He's doing (He's only been doing it for FOREVER!!!) But the most important part of the convo is gonna be your listening to what God says via the Bible. Listen up guys, God's got great things in store for us!!!

Great words. Makes me think of my classmate, who tends to complain all the time (begins every other sentence with words "yeah, but..."), thinks everyone elses' plans are not that good, and is always talking instead of listening. You get it? Listening, to God, to other people, is one of the most useful skills one can have. :n have a great week! xoxo
