Wake me up!

I love it when the Holy Spirit wakes me up in the middle of the night.....I really do. I usually wake up with someone on my mind & then pray for them. About 2am this morning, I woke up with someone in mind to pray for, but along with the person was a song that kept playing over & over again in my head. I knew I couldn't rest until I got up & emailed this person with the words to this song. I don't know exactly why or even if it really made a difference, but the point is....I believe sometimes God tests us to see if we are listening....if we will respond....if we are faithful.
It doesn't matter whether you're deaf or not, we all have the capability of hearing God's call.....we also have the ability to be deaf to it.
I have to admit that at times it takes a 2x4 on my head to get my attention so that I will listen....and yep....it hurts!

12:25 See that you give ear to his voice which comes to you. For if those whose ears were shut to the voice which came to them on earth did not go free from punishment, what chance have we of going free if we give no attention to him whose voice comes from heaven?

Hebrews 12:25

Thank you for sharing, Treva. When we came to FSCOG almost 10 years ago, we were in Ivan;s SS Class. He mentioned he was having trouble sleeping at the time so he just layed there and prayed. I thought, how interesting. That never left my mind. As I began to grow as a Christian and found my self awake on occasion in the night I would say a little prayer. God began to put in me such desires to know Him more....to be used by Him more and in this past year-ish, I have found that it is indeed the Holy Spirit awakening me in the wee hours with definate purpose in mind.....yes, I love it!! To feel God's presense is Amazing! Even when it is over heart ache. With so many events in my personal life these past few years I am reminded of "FootPrints".....and my heart aches....not because of what I have had in my life....oh no....it is how many many times have I missed Him carring me? How many times have I missed His voice guiding me? How many times have I missed Him calling me to service for Him? I don't want to miss any more.....even when it scares me to death!

I appreciate your blogs....they remind and help me....as I know all of our experiences help someone....we must share!

Love ya,

Bonnie
