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.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

10 years in a day

So my days are beginning to run together, and the timelines in my brain are blurry after being on the ground at CEM for three days or has it been four? Either way, let's just say that one day in India is like ten years. That is a pretty good description of what reality is like here. Pastor said that sandrews said that on a trip here many years ago, and I was shocked by just how accurate of a statement that was. A day here can bring life events that you might be exposed to once in ten years living the way we live in the US of A. Here, life is hard. No matter what. As we drove to a 'village church' yesterday, we were what one team member describes as 'in the boonies.' (What does that mean exactly?) We saw things that I don't even know if I would have seen in 10 years living in the US. Men harvesting sugar cane and loading it on trucks. That sounds like a very simple sentence, and a very simple thing to do. But when it is in the upper 90's, and ther
