Do You Hear What I'm Saying?

The answer to that is yes Lord, I hear what you are saying. And today he has been telling me a few things. Some people might say that I'm just remembering past conversations, and thoughts I've had...but I don't believe that to be true. I believe that God speaks to us through these things if we have our spiritual ears open. Let me just share with you some things. First of all; and this was not something I was thinking...it just came out of nowhere. I don't thank God for my food when I'm alone. I have no problem saying a blessing when I'm out in public or even at home with Aaron. Why is that? I am so concerned with eating this food and not taking the few minutes to just thank God from which it came from. It's not an issue of what someone might say...I think it's just one of those little things I never routinely did and I should. God knows my heart; but he wants to hear it from me.

Another thing that He has spoken to me about was something that a woman in my Sunday School mentioned. If we just ask God for the time to spend with him, he will give/show you when that time is. I have been telling myself that I need to make a regular appointment to sit down with God and have never actually prayed and asked him. What am I afraid of...that he will show me a time? That then I won't be able to make any excuses? Even as I am typing this post I believe that I have been shown a time and actually have ignored it. If I get up just a little earlier before work and take 30 minutes or so that would be perfect. I have to make the effort to do it. I have to get my lazy derriere up and DO IT!! I do genuinely have a desire to know, fellowship, and worship God. But, my flesh cries out...just 20 more minutes of sleep, that's not that long. Then 20 minutes turns into about an hour. And there goes that plan of getting up earlier.

So, here are 2 more areas if you think about praying for me that you can include. Thanks!!!

P.S. I have a feeling that some of you out there are already praying because my attitude is getting better toward the people I work with.
