His Silence...So Reaffirming

Two days ago on my first day of journaling after beginning to read 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice, He spoke several wonderful paragraphs to me (that was confirmed by my husband, David, who's also reading the book).

Then, yesterday morning nothing came.  No spontaneous thoughts; just peace and what I call a good time with the Lord in prayer and time in His Word.  While I wondered if I'd somehow missed Him by not being sensitive enough, I didn't worry about it.

When I awoke this morning...before 6:00 A.M.--way earlier than normal for a Saturday morning!--I woke with an excitement and great anticipation that He would, in fact, speak to me.  And He did.  Beautifully.  (And again, my husband, confirmed what He said and was very blessed by what the Lord spoke to me.  Maybe I'll share this at a later time, but not in this post.)

But before He spoke to me such wonderfully confirming words about why things have taken so long for us to get to where we are, stepping out to start a simple/house church in the next few weeks...or days, I wrote this:

Your silence yesterday morning (Day Two of my new adventure journaling) was actually a blessing in that it reaffirms to me that I really am hearing Your voice and that I am distinguishing between Your thoughts and mine.  Wonderful!  :-)
