Today, I was asked how we know when God is speaking to us. I think in our culture sometimes we are led to believe that God speaks to us in unmistakable, unavoidable, obvious, clear ways. Sometimes he does. Othertimes, God is more hidden, more subtle, more mysterious in how he speaks to us. Does God speak to us, most certainly. I believe that God speaks sometimes in our inner reactions, he speaks through our loved ones, he shouts out to us through the events of our lives. But sometimes it takes us time to sort out if it is God's voice we are hearing or our own hopes and desires. Still, we listen to hear where God is speaking to us.

Thank you for writing your blog. I was directed to it by our friend, Wendy.
Today God spoke to me at the checkout counter at Mills Fleet Farm. I was purchasing seed packets of morning glories and the woman who served at the register told me to soak them in warm water to speed the germination. I had planned to use the packets as visual aids in a speech for my class tomorrow and the additional information will further highlight my illustration of stories being planted seeds. God provided what I needed when I didn't even ask. (And thanks to Wendy for her prayers! The prayers of a righteous man/woman are strong and effective . . .)
