I wonder how often God has tried to speak to me, but I did not hear what he was saying?
The song "God Speaking" has been on my heart the past couple of days. It sings of the idea that Jesus speaks to us through everything; not just words; and not just "feeling after the Holy Ghost". The songs asks "Have you ever watched a sunrise, and felt you could not breathe? What if it's Him? What if it's God speaking?"

I had a moment a while back similar to this. I was outside, trying to calm down after an arguement I was having with someone. I stopped a few steps away from the door, closed my eyes, and simply whispered "Jesus, please." There was immediately a very gentle breeze sweep across me and anchor my emotions, putting a smile on my face. I just knew God had used that to answer my prayer, and now am reminded of God's love almost every time I feel a soft breeze blow past me.
I was, for whatever reason, awake for the sunrise this morning, which reminded me of this song yet again. The sunrise was a beautiful pink, fading into green and blue, with grayish purple clouds. It reminded me of how awesome our God truly is--to be able to do something so mighty with such little effort.
(My dad lovingly says that every thing happening in the sky is nothing but God having fun with a paint brush. [Dad is a painter himself.]) (:
That lovely sunrise and song started my pondering on the beginning question. How many times have I not heard what God was trying to tell me because I was listening in the wrong direction?
thank you, sister!
