Is Anyone Really Listening?

My husband and I were driving home last night and we passed a church. On the sign outside the church, in big black letters we saw the following statement:

Talk to me!
I am Listening!
~God

To some, this may be as easy as cutting butter, but to me it is very hard. I always try to just talk, but I get the feeling that no one is listening. Does anyone else feel this way. I go to church and I believe in God, but I find myself falling short of faith. I don't have the faith that he is walking beside me, taking care of me. Sometimes I feel as if I fall he won't be there to catch me.

I admit that so far, I have made it through some really tough times, but not without the strength and support of my husband Nick. Nick is a man of great faith. When everything looks like a big black hole in my eyes, he sees the sunlight shining through. Maybe God knew I would need his great strength to get through he things he has handed to me. Maybe God knew that some of these things would be too hard for me to handle alone. He knew Nicks strengths would fit together perfectly with my weaknesses like two puzzle pieces. We have our times when we don't mix, but give it a couple of tries and we realize if we just flip the puzzle piece upside down, or turn it a bit, we fit back together perfectly.

Just another thought!
