[/caption]It is in the quiet when I hear His voice.
The TV blares the day's latest news.
The kids are talking.
The phone rings.
I hear my husband's voice as he answers a call.
The dishwasher hums.
My computer keys click.
Music plays.
The dogs bark.
I live in a cacophony of noises.
Noises of the every day. Noises of urgency. Noises of my life.
My soul realizes that something is missing. I long for the quiet peace that comes from just being in His presence.
Just being with Him, the One who created me, and knows me most intimately.
I come to be renewed. Rejuvenated. Cleansed.
I sit at His feet and listen.

I like this post. It reminds me of Luke 10:38-42, where Mary chose to sit at Jesus' feet.
