Listening when God speaks

Listening when God Speaks

I have a hard time sometimes when God tells me things.  I can hear him and I choose to walk the other direction.  I don't know why I do this.  I know it's wrong but I do it sometimes before I realize I have.  It becomes the norm...


So last night I was getting ready for bed, Kelly (my roommate and best friend) was in the shower.  I'm about asleep when she walks into the room and says in a seriously scary voice, "You'll never believe what just happened".  I'm thinking it must be bad.  She proceeds to tell me that God told her to hush and listen.  He told her that He wanted her to give a lady a bible and that it needed to be her own.  The one she uses all the time.  The bible that my mom gave me, that I gave her, now she is giving to someone else.  I am pleased to say that Kelly listened to God. 


Although it was hard for Kelly to give up here bible, she did.


In saying that...


I know that sometimes when God speaks, IT'S REALLY HARD TO LISTEN.  I'm trying, I really am trying.  I find it to be harder to listen when He says things I don't want to hear, or tells me things that I don't want to do.  I am so sure sometimes that I am doing the right thing and then He tells me to stop and turn around and to go the other way.  I LIKE IT!! 


With these things being said, I ask that you pray that I LISTEN when God speaks and FOLLOW His direction for my life!
