Pardon Me?

Are you hearing all that you should be? In a crowded room do you need to be looking at someone to be able to understand what they are saying? How about as you walk down the street or through the mall and someone beside you is talking and they look away in mid sentence do you still hear them? For me the answers are no, yes, and no.

I had my hearing tested this past week at work and it showed that I had deficits in certain ranges so Kyle now you know that it isn’t just selective hearing when you speak, your voice really is in a range that I can’t hear.

Not being able to hear my husband speak is a real bummer. When we are out walking or in a restaurant I have to be facing him to hear what he is saying. Just yesterday at lunch we were sitting in a booth talking quietly and he happened to put his had up over his mouth and I lost part of the conversation so I had to have him repeat it. It wasn’t even a noisy restaurant at that. I miss what he is trying to communicate to me at time just because it gets lost in the background noise.

How many times does this happen with God, He loves us and is constantly trying to speak to us and the background noise muddles the words He speaks. He wants us to hear him clearly and often we just can’t filter out the noise around us. We need to focus on His face and we will never miss a word He says.
