Last night I had a baby shower to go to among the girlfriends in my ward. I went to it and when everybody was leaving I felt something telling me to stay later. I thought it was the refreshments calling me, as I got there late and hadn’t eaten any yet. So I stayed. I enjoyed the cake and got lots of water, since I am always thirsty as a continuous, extended breastfeeding mom (going on 18 years now with a few breaks for pregnancies, although I have nursed through two pregnancies– it can be done).  My girlfriend who was hostessing all the sudden HAD to make a phone call to process through some comment she made to one of the other guests with her best friend. I told her I was going to leave since she was on the phone, but she said, “No, don’t!” I listened and stayed. She got off the phone and we had a really great heart to heart talk that we have never had before. I am glad I took time to listen to her. It was so sweet to hear her experiences of listening to the still small voice.

I am reading a book about how to listen to the still small voice. It’s Following the Light of Christ Into His Presence. It’s soooo good! If anybody’s read it please tell me what you learned from it in the discussion forum on this site.
