Just listen

God speaks to me.  Really!  Sometimes it is nearly audible, but most of the time it's just stuff He tells my head and heart.  There are other times that He speaks to me through others.  I've received some pretty awesome messages delivered to me by others.

Why am I telling you (the world) this?  Because if you take the time to be still and just listen, God will speak to you.  I can't say in what manner, but He will.  God has spoken to me about me and sometimes gives me a message for someone else.  It's a thrilling event when I get to deliver a message to someone from God.  You should see their eyes sparkle once they realize that what I've told them could have only come from God.  You see, God puts people in our paths to love, to give messages, to be kind to, to help...always to help.

Slow down today and listen for God's voice.

Outta my mind

For such a long time my head and my heart have been battling about how to live life.  My head is logic and fact based living.  That's all well and good until such time that emotion, which has absolutely no logic, forces the heart to take over.

Quite frankly, I'm tired of living in my head.  I'm worn out with thinking everything through to the nth degree and trying to figure it out.

In the words of Matthew West, "I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind".  It's long overdue for my heart to rule my life. 

What about Lazarus

We are all familiar with the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead after being in the tomb for four days.  The opportunity to have his story chronicled would have provided some evidence for nonbelievers of the afterlife.  I believe that if that story would have been part of the bible, then our faith wouldn't be as strong.  It is by faith that we have a relationship with God, not by knowing of events.  

In a sense, every Christian that has accepted Jesus as their savior is Lazarus.  We are changed into a new life with new hope. We were saved from an afterlife of trouble and turmoil and brought into the loving arms and grace of God.

Be Lazarus everyday for each day we have a new beginning.
