Unlikely Heroes


Last year I attended the Global Leadership Summit. 
I can not begin to explain how life-changing this conference was. 
However, there was one woman at this conference that astounded me. 
That woman was Mother Maggie Gobrans. 
Giving up everything to live with the poor in Cairo, Egypt, 
Mother Maggie has astounded the world with her devotion & love for our God & the people of Cairo. 
During the summit, she spoke about how difficult it is for people in our day to be silent with Jesus. She later gave this advice that I wrote down & daily remind myself in my quiet times.

"Silence your body to listen to your words. 
Silence your tongue to listen to your thoughts. 
Silence your thoughts to listen to you heart beating. 
Silence your heart to listen to your spirit. 
Silence your spirit to listen to His Spirit." 
-Mother Maggie Gobrans
