He spoke to me today.....

While I don't often blog or even talk to others much about my religious faith, it's very deep. I have huge faith in my God. I suppose I don't talk about it much because while I enjoy discussions based on religion and I love to learn about other peoples views and faiths, it does tend to be a subject that can produce a lot of tension and disagreement. I, however, am open to everyone having the right to believe as they wish, and I never condemn another soul for their beliefs. That said, here I go...God spoke to me today.

Before you say "Cricket....please, go see someone for those voices in your head"....it wasn't that kind of talk. God's words were not audible to me. God's words to me were even much more "real" for me. You see, for about 5 weeks now I have been dealing with an issue. I won't bore you with all the details, that isn't important. What is important is that today, when I hit the climax of my issue, it literally disappeared! DISAPPEARED!! VANISHED!! was no more! What I speak of isn't an emotional or psychological type of issue either, it was real, it was there and today, it wasn't!! As I was waiting on the actual verdict as I sat in the waiting room, I glanced over at the side table next to me, there in big letters on the cover of a magazine were the words "You're STRONGER then you know!".....it was then that I knew, this experience I was having was God speaking directly to me. I felt blessed beyond measure. I think God speaks to us each and every day but we are so caught up in our own lives and thoughts and fears and struggles that we don't take the time to really hear Him. I have been praying to Him for weeks now, wondering why I wasn't receiving any answer and, today it came. It came in a form so vivid and real and tangible that one could not ignore or dismiss. I have done nothing all day but reflect and give thanks. I wanted to share. I feel it is the very least I can do for Him as my way of saying Thank you!

Has this changed how I feel about my God? nope, not one bit, but it has changed how I feel about me. It has changed how I look at my God, how I look at my self and how I look at my life, just another blessing bestowed upon my simple self.

So, I guess my words today are just that He is always listening to us, always blessing us and always...always...always speaking to us...are you open to hear?

Until next time,
Blessings!
