I want answers!!

For quite some time God has really been showing me that He is faithful in answering prayers and in speaking to me and just all-around faithfulness. Lately though, it has seemed like there is no answer at all. I ask, and then receive an image of Jesus with His hands over his mouth, and a smile behind his hands, his eyebrows going up as he shrugs his shoulders! And I’m like, “WHAT!?! What kind of an answer is that!?” I ask for Him to speak to me clearly, waiting for the understanding, direction, and peace that will flood in when He answers!

An answer has come after all. He has been faithful, now I realize; the expression was the answer.
This is something that I have learned but forgotten; simply, that understanding and insight comes (and not always so quickly) after revelation. So, now it’s time to pray into His answer, and ask “So what do you mean?” And I can fully trust He’ll be faithful to answer!

Jesus is right

Sooo... this isn't such a great revelation or anything, but Jesus is right, always has been, always will be. So often lately little things pop into my head, like where RoRo wants to sit, who it is when the phone rings, or like when my friend Denise is online and I really have nothing to say to her but as soon as i just type her name and hit send, Jesus starts giving me some encouraging words for her. I think it's definetly a good thing to listen and obey with very small things. After the small thing has been accomplished, what ends up happening is another small thing, or bit of instruction comes. We see clear evidence of this in Philip in Acts 8: 26

I've heard a few say that God loves some people a little more than others, but I'm pretty sure it's just that He can trust some people with more when well, ok, just read Matthew 25: 14-30. And you don't even have to leave your chair just
go to
www.biblegateway.com and type in Mathew 25: 14-30 when you get there.
