Thanks for taking the time to comment, Carter! And I'm glad the audio helped. I know many parents who have more time to listen while they wrangle children than they do to read. :)
What a beautiful reflection! I resonate with waiting for God to speak in a dramatic way for fear I'll just interpret my own inclination or sense of duty and desire as God's call. Recently, I made a major life decision, and in the process I had a pivotal conversation with a mentor. Among other things, what stood out was how God's people play a role in our discernment process - up to that point (and to this day) every person (all wise, believing, caring people) who I've discussed this decision with have responded enthusiastically and supportively that the opportunity I was considering sounded like a perfect fit for me and that they would support me regardless of what I chose. The conversation and their support (regardless of outcome) gave me the confidence to trust God's call in my life. I feel such peace with it now and am watching God provide in beautiful ways.
Thank you, Catherine! It's a wonderful thing to have people who can help us hear God better: and help us see ourselves better, too! It's a great sign of wisdom when someone can offer support for us as a person, regardless of the outcome. The peace you're experiencing is so key to being able to move, or rest, in discernment.
Thanks for sharing your experience - I hope others can find good mentors and supportive listeners, as it helps discernment so much but can be difficult to find.
Thank you for this helpful reminder, Kerri.

Loved this. Very timely for me and personally, I quite enjoyed the audio especially while trying to get the kids ready.
