He spoke to me

I am "off" work today. Well, from cashiering anyway. I'm at home today working twice as hard for half as much. Wait, no, for free. My day started like any other as I hit the snooze button for those illegal but MUCH needed extra ten minutes. I got up when the alarm went off for the second time. Feed the cats, check. Start the coffee pot, check. (TRY TO) Wake Michael up, check. Pour a cup of coffee and sit it in the living room by my reading chair, check. Call Michael a second time, check. Go back to the living room, sip my coffee and read my devotional, check. Back to Michael's room to make sure he's up and functioning, check. Check the time, check. Dressed, teeth brushed, check. Holler for Michael to "load up", check. Then I took him to school and came straight back home to face a day of cleaning.........my house, and my mind. I love being home by myself with the Lord. It's wonderful to give Him my undivided attention. As soon as I got back home, I turned on my praise and worship music and started cleaning. I do much more than whistle while I work, I praise Him out loud with everything I've got! It feels so good to worship Him in this way and whether He's laughing or not, I know He enjoys it too. The way my voice sounds today, I'm pretty sure He was laughing. I've been sick for almost a week now and my voice sounds like that of a 13 year old boy going through puberty. *sigh* It didn't slow me down though. We got a lot done today, me and the Lord. I've been needing to get some stuff off my chest and He's always ready to listen. Well, today, He did more than that!!!

I finally stopped at 11:30 to eat some lunch (never did make time for breakfast). I sat there with my hot dog in front of me and bowed my head to thank Him for this awesome day with Him, I thanked Him for the strength, energy and determination to get my house spic and span, I thanked Him for how much I got done in so little time, then I thanked Him for my part time job that allowed us to have just enough money to buy these hot dogs. Then, as my hot dog started getting cold (and I really didn't care) I started talking to Him about how I know He wants us to pray specifically when we pray for "things" in our lives. So, I said, "Lord, I WANT a full time job! I want a Monday through Friday, 8-5 job, with benefits." and before I could finish my specifics, these words came out of my mouth..............."I AM ENOUGH" It threw me for a loop!!! That was not part of my prayer! But before I could grasp what I just heard myself say, I just thanked Him for being enough! It was unbelievable, amazing, unreal...... No I didn't hear Him speak. I didn't hear His voice, I heard my own! He spoke through my own prayer!! At that very moment, I opened my eyes, I don't know, as if maybe I thought He might actually be right there looking at me. It felt like it, anyway! I was overwhelmed with emotion. I laughed and cried all at the same time. I know, that sounds weird, but it's what I did. Have you ever laughed through a cry? Well, now I can say I have.

He spoke to me. I have NO doubt. It was my voice, but very obviously HIS message!

Wow! What an awesome God!!!

I hope this has touched you and blessed you in some way. There's no way I could have NOT shared this. I know He would have wanted me too.

Good day.
