Stuck!

I have very casually put out there that I have begun a class here with my sister hoping she might be interested in reading some of my journaling. It took about 30 seconds for her to ADAMENTLY tell me that no one can tell if God is saying something to someone else.

She was my one and only idea for the first week's assignment to find two or three friends to read a few excerpts from my journaling in order to fulfill the spiritual adviser requirement.

I have one rather new best friend who hears the Lord and I cherish her after 35 years of looking for someone. I have already shared parts of my journaling with her, but she is unable to meet the requirements due to her situation. She and I have each other, but she also has no spiritual advisers. I'm not sure I know anyone who is discussing their walk with God in even the most casual sense with anyone else, much less who have a relationship with two or three spiritual advisers.

Any ideas? I'd love someone with physical healing experience the same or more than me. The other area is vocation, earing a living, and I have many ideas, but little experience. If you think the Lord is saying for us to try this out, you and I, I'd sure ask the Lord too!

Lord,
This is why I have come to CLU, to find those who know You! Will You make a match and bring me a couple of Sisters who can benefit from spiritual adviser relationships with each other please. I am looking around me for crossed paths. Open my eyes to see what You are doing about this requirement!
Hi fellow students! I'd sure like to hear about what is happening as you take this course.

Some parts are easy to understand and apply for me (hearing God and journaling), and one is very difficult (finding spiritual advisers that meet the requirements), and one requiring a skill or a natural propensity I lack (memorizing the short verses).

I realize that the two difficult areas may have nudged me to persue after the Lord desperately, for example, I often can quote scripture when praying for someone! I think this helped me to know that I was indeed hearing from God and have access to what I did know!

I need to add one more person to my spiritual advisory team. I'd like a fellow student!

I have learned a lot, and much has become clearer to me, such as the description of the modern Pharisee from someone who was turned from it! Wow! I see more clearly how I have been helped by God over the years to avoid snares I did not fully understand. Lord, You have been so faithful to me!

So, what going on?
I felt led to take the course because when I rededicated myself to the Lord (in 2007), I would hear a voice speak to me so strongly that I had to write it down (feeling that this was the Lord). I did this only a couple times and felt a bit like a "crazy Christian" or thinking maybe it was an unusual prophetic thing. I would lay aside my journal for a couple months until I would hear that whisper yet strong and spontaneously voice again (usually it would be in the quietness of my room, not necessarily in quiet time, but contemplating- sort of half-praying, other half-daydreaming). CWG has "normalized" journaling, dialoguing with God, and coached me well and very thoroughly in the wilderness of hearing God's voice.

Only on two occasions have I really had to question if something was from the Lord. One was a journal entry for interpreting a dream and it ended up sounding choppy and frank, but I still believe it was genuine.

Only recently was something very likely erroneous. My "testing" revealed this- upon rereading a few days later, I felt inwardly repulsed. But this course has helped me to deal appropriately with a situation like this and to keep on going! Not to quit out of fear of the devil or out of doubt.

There has been so much communion taking place with direct words, I have been tremendously blessed!
Is there anyone currently taking the course? I would like to be able to share and study online with another student. Yolanda
