I have had several people tell me about an experience they have had while walking around the "POND". In-fact I have had the same experience. It is the experience of being scared when a frog lets out a croak and jumps into the water as you get close to it.
It reminds me of a story:
A farmer loved to sleep with his window open so he could feel the gentle night breeze and hear the soft noises of the night creatures. However, the night noises were getting louder and louder due to an invasion of frogs at the farmers pond fifty yards from his bedroom window. The noise of the frogs continually got worse each night. The farmer was not able to sleep because of those amplified amphibians. So, one morning the farmer got in his truck and drove to a nearby restaurant owned by a friend. They had a little business meeting together, shook hands, and the farmer left with a smile. He had convinced his friend in the restaurant business to add frog legs to the menu. The farmer guaranteed his buddy that he could supply him with a million frog legs. The restaurant owner didn't need that many frog legs, so the agreed on a few thousand. A week later, the farmer returned to the restaurant with a bag of frogs. The restaurant owner met the farmer in the parking lot, excited to see the new addition to his menu. "Well,"said the restaurant owner. "Let's see what we got!"The Farmer let out a deep sigh and had an odd, sheepish look on his face as he reached into the bag and pulled two out scrawny frogs. "I thought my pond was overflowing with frogs. They were driving me crazy. These two little frogs were making all that noise! I never woulda guessed that two scrawny frogs could sound like a million."
OH, but the can! The voices of those who croak defeat into your ears are few, but loud! Everyone has one or tow croakers who make it difficult to hear all the other voices of encouragement and victory. Learn how to hear the hundreds beyond the croaking of a couple. Don't allow a couple of scrawny frogs turn your attention away from the will of God for your life. Don't allow your froggy friends to focus you eyes toward the negative things of life; rather set your mind and your ears to hear the higher, softer pitches of the goodness of God and His plans for you.
And please... don;t be a scrawny croaker in anyone's life. In spite of the fairy tale, people really do not go around kissing frogs. But they do like to GIG EM!

Plesae pray for me........... that I would have wisdom; God has place many decisions in front of me that requires much wisdom. My decisions could bring joy to some and hurt to others! It is essential that I hear God's voice and that I have HIS Anointing!
With Love,
