He did speak indeed!

So this morning as I was getting ready for church (which I was doing later than normal- I had over slept) I was praying and thinking about what God would speak to me today...I had checked my myspace as I do everymorning (yes, this is quite and obsession) and had posted my status to be something along the lines of wondering what God would speak to her or something like that....I went to church...heard a wonderful message and definately knew the Lord was drawing me in and closer to Him....I left church and came home...still thinking about the message and went about my Sunday afternoon....dinner, cleaning the guest bedroom, and a good nap! (Sunday afternoon are great for napping!) I then woke to attend a friend's baptism (we can praise God for his decision!) and then to youth meeting as usual....this is where the story goes from good to great!....the lesson presented was fabulous....God was again speaking, but not like I was really wanting to hear from Him....I listened though and praised Him for His forgiveness and grace....I sat amazed at His righteousness and blown away at how He washed us clean and creates us to be new creations! Isn't that wonderful to know!?! Afterward I was reading a scripture in my dear friends Bible...this is a very neat Bible....The Spirit Filled Living Bible...(which I think I might purchase in the next few weeks)....as I was browsing through his Bible I was noticeing notes and papers that he had written...lessons that God was teaching him...I don't like to think that I'm nosey, but it's fair to say that I was being a bit nosey....I was enjoying reading some of the things that God was teaching him! I then came across what looked like a familiar envelope....it was addressed "Africa Mission"...it was mine from 2006! My friend had kept this envelope and had written all kinds of things on the front and the back....as I'm reading (being nosey) I find a paragraph written....whoa! this was something that my friend had shared with me in July 2006....this was a message he had jotted down that he thought I should hear...something that God had pressed on him to share with me....immediately I began to cry (not surprising if you know me) I knew that God was SPEAKING directly to me and through a message for me some two years ago! WOW! God has something planned for me and I've not been listening....I'm getting ready....I'm getting prepared....I have so much love and I'm to be lovsick for my first love- my Savior! I am His love!! He has something for me that no one human being can fill, that no one job, no salary, no home, nothing can fill, but the Spirit of God! He did indeed speak to me today! I pray that God will begin speaking intimate truths in your lives! Listen. He isn't pushy, He isn't loud, He isn't on a megaphone. My God whispers. He desires us to listen and to preceive all He has for us. Get ready, get ready, get ready!!
