Communication

Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

I've purchased a laptop and it should be delivered tomorrow. I apologize for not having a blog the last 2 days. I would wonder if anyone cares yet I know some do. I am amazed that I have a "following".

My mother and I saw Julie & Julia yesterday. The movie had a goal setting theme to it and the story was pretty good. I told my mom that I'm getting ready to change up my blogspot. I've got a few ideas but still praying about what I need to put up all over the Internet. I have a strange suspicion a few of my readers are only here to consider if I'm healthy or not. Without details, the past weekend in my hometown was rather disappointing except for the time I had with my grandmother which was great.

Soon I will have a blog that will wrap Down by the River up. I start classes in 11 days and my entries may be fewer. Though I told another friend of mine who is a writer, "If you are a true writer, you find time EVERY day to practice your art." And I love writing.

Today I was reading in Mark 4 about the parable of the sower. And in verses 11 and 12 Jesus told them, "The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables to that, 'they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!'" My prayer is that God's Holy Spirit gives me the wisdom to know and understand His voice. And when I see what comes from above I will recognize God's hand upon it. I heard the expression that, "if you hear from God you are crazy." I tell people on a regular basis, "I'm crazy alright, I've got papers to prove it and medication to manage it." (My inside joke about the bipolar disorder I have - I laugh about it so I don't cry about it.)

Yes, I hear from my, excuse me, the Heavenly Father. If you don't, I ask if you are truly saved then what is in your life that is preventing the communication? I've been there before. With God's Spirit and grace I was able to find out what was blocking my communion with God and asked for forgiveness. God restores His children if only we will ask. I pray that you have that line of communication with our Heavenly Father and if not and you are saved, I beg you to make time to evaluate what in your life is keeping you from our Holy God.
