Discerning the voice of God

I have come to the realization as I am going through this bible study that it has been a long time since I have heard the voice of the Lord.

Some where along my walk, Him and I have stopped talking. I wonder where that happened, and how? I know it is me! I know He is waiting to hear from me, but I am sitting here wondering when I stopped praying, reading, and feeling the presence of God. Trying to think back through time, to pinpoint the main reason, event or occurance- that caused me to stop talking to the Lord.

Was it hope that was lost, pain, or just busyness of life- I am not sure. Now that I have had this realization- I am unsure how to return to Him, to his presence. How do I get back to the place where I use to be? Where do I start to open my spirit up to the Lord?

I am lost- and I am sure how to be found again!

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting. I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Hello all...

Hello my Siesta(Beth Moore's word for Sisters-Love it) I have decided to start this online bible Blog Study that Preacher's Wife wrote. It has already started my wheels turning in my mind and heart. The very first question: Are there any circumstances or relationships in your life where you can see God has intentionally placed you? Yes- many! A few grow heavy in my heart! What do you perceive may be at stake if you do or do not speak out for Him? The person's soul will be lost for eternity. They will not walk with me into the gates of heaven and I will spend the rest of my eternal life knowning I did nothing, said nothing and do not do what God intended me to do. Can you Honestly describe yourself as a woman with a "yes" in her spirit? No I can not say I can- I would like to fool myself and those around you to say I am but when it comes down to it.. I have failed! If not what keeps you from this? FEAR- fear that the person will see my words as judgement and no...

What is the meaning of family or extended family to you?

One of the things about moving to Texas that we were "excited" about was the thought of having "all the family" here.(actually extended family) Grandma,grandpa, Sam's brothers, and sister are all here. Well we have been here almost 6 months now. I guess the newness of us being here has worn off, because we do not receive phone calls, text messages, or emails of;" what are you all doing this weekend?" " Do you want to get together?" It has turned out to be just like any other time we lived in close vicinity of each other. We have become special occasion, holiday only relations. Why is that? How does that happen? Is it because we live such separate lives? Our lives are very uneventful. We spend them each day just surviving that day. We do not think of tomorrow- (that is scriptural) We do not take pleasure in vain things. I hate to shop. I love to sew. I hate going to the beauty parlor. All those things that "woman" are suppo...
