As with any mission, journey, or vacation, once the destination is booked, preparation begins. How long is the flight? What is the weather like? What is the culture like where we’re headed? What are the rules and laws? What should we expect financially?  Should we save money?  Budget differently? Prepare for layovers? There’s a lot of preparation that needs to...]]></description><link>https://www.thelisteninghearts.net/post/prepare-for-the-journey</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a0beaf52fd8b3b69697f3eb</guid><pubDate>Wed, 20 May 2026 01:16:03 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/05e686_a4c42d6986544d8fa9e7f1a85240a99b~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>thelisteningheart</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why Don’t We Just Drop It Off?]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Moment Sitting at the laundromat, waiting for my clothes to get done, I couldn’t help but notice the traffic of people coming in and out picking up clothes that someone else washed for them. All they had to do was show up, drop the clothes off, and trust that it would get done. Show up. Drop it off. Trust that it’d get done. What a luxury it is to have someone do all of the hard work for you. All of the sorting. All of the washing and drying. All of the folding and packing. It must be...]]></description><link>https://www.thelisteninghearts.net/post/why-don-t-we-just-drop-it-off</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69ffb451ecab90113754f550</guid><pubDate>Sat, 09 May 2026 23:34:45 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/05e686_b004b3ae99de4e489340a415478da826~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>thelisteningheart</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heat]]></title><description><![CDATA[It was a normal day at school. We were preparing for students to return, and everyone had a task to complete.  Mine was simple—running laminating sheets through the machine. Nothing new.  Nothing different.  Just the same process. Put it in one side… Watch it come out the other. The Moment As I kept repeating the process, I began to pay closer attention. When the sheet came out, I noticed how hot it was. And I found myself thinking… “Imagine what that sheet just went through.” That heat...]]></description><link>https://www.thelisteninghearts.net/post/_heat</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f62c6990b4365cb8633bf0</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2026 17:23:38 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/05e686_4ef8ba5b21b4458ebcd2d86f4aa31c54~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>thelisteningheart</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who Left the Door Open]]></title><description><![CDATA[Let me paint the picture. I’m sitting in the tub, trying to relax, when my son pulls back the curtain that is dividing the master bath from the bedroom in an effort to control the temperature, to ask for a snack. I answer him, he walks away—but leaves the curtain open. A few moments later… I feel it. A draft. The Moment Even though I couldn’t see the door, and I wasn’t paying attention to it, I could feel the cool air slowly creeping in. At first, it was subtle. Then it became more...]]></description><link>https://www.thelisteninghearts.net/post/who-left-the-door-open</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f621d88cdff2e4610edbc2</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2026 16:52:42 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/05e686_1a4583291e944423a3377c4c64ac6a1f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>thelisteningheart</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The God Who Speaks— His Voice Is Not Limited]]></title><description><![CDATA[Before we can learn to hear God’s voice, we must first understand one thing: God is always speaking. Not just in quiet time.  Not just in church.  But in everyday moments—if we have the heart to listen. God speaks, and His voice is not limited. He speaks through everything—yet we perceive it not. God speaks. He speaks when we’re bathing, when we’re running, when we’re cooking.  He speaks when we're out and about, moving all around.  He even speaks while we’re watching our favorite shows,...]]></description><link>https://www.thelisteninghearts.net/post/the-god-who-speaks-his-voice-is-not-limited</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f5493a7b1c42fb24f3fdd0</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2026 02:30:18 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/05e686_18f29dbbed994537baf0dd9c3aac10c6~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_990,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>thelisteningheart</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
