well, I'm back in here to schpeel a little more. I'm still waiting on Jesus to come back, and I used to want to do stuff before that happened, but now I just don't care. I'm not saying that in a "life sucks" sorda way, I'm saying anytime He chooses to come back or take me from this earth, I am ready. God wants asked me if I wanted to go "home" ( Read more... )

I'm with ya... panda_whoopin June 3 2004, 09:26:23 UTC

I firmly beleive that God speaks directly to us, and about things that seem so insignificant. He does to me all the time. Believe me. I've learned to recognize God's voice, and I know it's his when it's confirmed in his word, but he does speak directly to me as well. Perhaps not in an audible way, but when I've had direct statements made directly to me in my thoughts, and then see the fruit, it's deffinately God. I was sitting once, listening to Mark Darling speak at the 2000 national conference, and I was maddly in love with this girl at the time. I was haveing a very hard time with the situation, and suddenly, God asked me point blank, "Are you willing to give her up for me?" Stated, just like that. I immediately said "yes," because I didn't want to think about it and try to second guess if that was God, but the next morning, everything I felt for that girl was gone! It's happened evertime like that (except this last time, ugh), and more than that, I hear that same voice reveal so many things to me! If the Holy Spirit ( ... )

Once God told me to pick up a piece of paper I had thrown at a trash can in a public bathroom, but missed, and ended up on the dirty floor....

Where have I read that before? panda_whoopin June 3 2004, 16:17:41 UTC

And I thought it was a mint wrapper...

Can I offer on bit of advice? I need paragraphs. I get so lost in words that when there isn't a seperating mark, I just quite reading. That's part of the reason I have a hard time reading Tolkin, not that I don't enjoy his work, I just can't focus that long.

When I went to take the Adult ADD test, I couldn't finish it because the questions were too long.

I've tried reading your post twice now, and it sounds really very interesting and profound, but I just get lost and then loose the real meaning. Sometimes, I just want to cry. What that has to do with your post, I'm not sure, but it seemed applicable. :)

hey...it's Dena xpaintmeprettyx June 10 2004, 20:57:08 UTC

Hey Jake...it's Dena.

I don't think you're crazy...

God and I talk all the time. I live for those moments in my day where I can sit and have an intimate conversation with Him.

One time when I was a bit younger I was praying about what all teenage girls pray about....relationships. Me being the big geek that I am I said "God I want an older guy." Ya knoww hat he said?

He goes "I'm the Ancient of Days." I laughed, but that statement hit me hard. That's when I really realized how jealous God is over me and how he just wants to be with me right now. It was an awesome revelation that just came out a simple conversation with God. I love it. God is awesome.

So yeah...I enjoy reading about how God speaks to you. It's encouraging and it builds my faith when I see God working in other people's lives. So...rock on!

And...add me to your friends list???

God Bless <3
