God's voice

When people say "God spoke to me..." or "I just heard God saying..." I always remember the burning bush in Exodus 3.

I also think of Alanis Morisette in Dogma.

I rarely ever think of the thoughts in my head.

But maybe I should. Everything I've been "working on" (spiritually, that is) lately has been telling me to trust myself more and to stop holding back with so much doubt. And, thankfully, I'm finding that when I do let go a little bit, I'm rewarded greatly. When I follow my "gut" (that little voice in my head), I'm finding myself going to places I didn't know I was capable of going. And, while that's a little bit scary? It's so very exciting. And the so very exciting part greatly outweighs the little bit scary part - which makes for a fun ride.

Maybe you don't understand what I'm talking about here. That's totally okay. Because, after all these years, I've finally learned that it's okay to be walking with blind faith once in a while... even if nobody else understands how or why I do it. And, as long as I can recognize Who it is that I'm following - it doesn't really matter what happens next.

God is not my safety net for "in case" I fall - He's my spotter while I'm up on this high-wire that has me taking risks and finding adventure.

I will fall. I will forget to trust and let go. I will fail, more than once. But, God will always have my back, if I let Him. There are so many lessons to be learned in that.
