What's going on today?

I know I've been quiet on the blogs lately, but I promise He's writing. I have sat down to type multiple blogs and they never seem to come out like I want them to. The words are on my heart, but they can't seem to reach my fingers. God's working....the seeds have been planted and will be fruit soon. He doesn't waste a minute or a moment.

So last night, we were having a conversation. If you are a new reader to the blog, you will have to go back and read some of the others I have written. God and I have developed a unique relationship over the years. He is rather blunt with me some days. Some days I need it, well every day I need it...but some days it is like a two by four upside the head. So His question last night was what's going on today? He wasn't looking for details on what was up with me...but details on if I could see how He was working in my day. So many times we get focused on what God has done in the past for us, what we want Him to do in our future, that we neglect to think about what He is doing in our present...our gift called today.

So what's He done for you today? What has He whispered to you today? What verse has spoken life to your heart? God is speaking to us every day, but are we listening? So many times we get caught up in the rush of busyness that frustration and stress take residence in our heart. We drag our worn out selves to His lap and ask Him for a word. If you are me, He calmly picks up my ear and says I've been talking to you all along. God doesn't need us to come to Him to speak...He needs us to get still and listen. Sometimes we hear Him, but aren't sure we are ready to digest what He said. Yep I've had that moment this week as well. God's moving...and Joel chapter 2...

If you are reading this and going, well God said this to me Sunday or God spoke at revival a few weeks ago.....get in the word and get a prayer time with Him....PERIOD. I've done it that way too, hear me when I say it...I've read the books others wrote, listened to the sermons others preached....and they have a place...but God wants to talk to you directly from His heart to yours as well. That intimate time with Him is priceless.....

Enjoy the journey,
