How do you really know?

So you think you think you think. Then you think it might be God talking to you. Maybe it is something different than what you thought you thought. Maybe you think you thought wrong. How do you really know when God doesn't seem to provide actual burning bushes anymore, or have the ground open up and eat people, or part the red sea in front of you so you know it has to be him. If anyone can tell me that, please post to this so that I can be sure that I really know.

Thanks.

You know because you KNOW. You are having self doubt. Stop. Just stop. Pray. Keep the enemy at bay. Too many coincidences in the past month for you to not know now. Ask him for a confirmation if you need more reassurance. Too much time has lapsed since we've all been together and this is what happens.

Continue to humbly submit to God's call. He will answer you by opening doors that he wants you to go through. He will close the other doors. And my guess is that He will remain silent at times so that you seek him whole heartedly and relentlessly because you feel such a NEED for His guidance. He has you right where He wants you. . . on your knees begging for His direction. He'll answer.

Remember to be still and patient for sometimes He does not always come to call when you want but at the times when you least expect His call will be one louder than what you imagined it to be.
Remember One.More.Move.

1 Samuel 3

8And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." Then Eli perceived that the LORD was calling the young man. 9Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down, and if he calls you, you shall say, 'Speak, LORD, for your servant hears.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

you know for sure when he comes to you and says: "hi there, this is god, and i've got some things to tell you." at least that's how it works for me. not for you?

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Righteous or Unrighteous?

Today, as I thoroughly enjoyed my walk to the school, I pondered quite a few things, as I often do on my walk. Sometimes I pray for people like Hammy, Jimmer, sick pete, mg, cdubs, pastor, beary, and the like. But today, I simply reveled in the fact that God loves me. As I watched the snow melting away, I could see the dirt and garbage left behind throughout my walk. I think of how God melts away our dirt and our garbage. How he longs to be in relationship with us, and how he cleanses our sins from existence. As the sun rose, I couldn't help but think of the verse I read this morning in Matthew 5:45 - "...that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." I pondered if Jesus was walking with me, which of the above categories would HE put me in? I'm pretty sure the unrighteous one at times. But yet he still walks with me and leads my steps. He brings the heat ...

Casa de Kelly - a nice place to dine.

It has been a challenging week for me personally. Struggling with some things personal in nature, nothing that I need to go into, but just working hard to keep my chin up. But encouragement comes to me through others that follow God. Thanks to sick Pete for his encouragement to me this week. Thanks to BK for his prayers and vulnerability. But my biggest thanks goes out to the kkft. After a tough week, I got an email yesterday from superstar saying she was hoping to take me out to dinner for drinks, conversation, and even dessert. But no sitter. So her and the girls were working on 'casa de kelly' restaurant in our apartment. I am almost certain it was the best restaurant I have ever visited in my life. Candlelight, mexican food and latin music, time to sit and chat with my wife, the girls serving us and giving us privacy (even had the taboo buzzer to call them when we needed something :)), it was my best night of the year by far. But perhaps the biggest part of the n...
