I am currently reading Mother Teresa: Come be my light (http://www.amazon.com/Mother-Teresa-Private-Writings-Calcutta/dp/0385520379).
It is thought-provoking.
At the start of my vacation, on June 30, I read the following quote from Mother Teresa, "In the silence of the heart God speaks."
I decided that I wanted silence to be the theme of my vacation, so I could potentially hear God speak. Upon reflection of this goal, my performance has been unsatisfactory. I'd like to think I've had a silent moment or two, but I do not feel as if I'm able to fully quiet my brain.
Sure, I'm caught up on writing my daily devotionals, and I have seen Jesus show up big time since my arrival. But silence? Is that like shavasana at the end of a yoga class? I can never fully quiet my mind during that time, either.
My challenge this week is to silent my heart. Wow, I was ignoring "the heart" part of Mother Teresa's quote. Yes, I definitely need help silencing my heart this week!
