Apart from just having a great, fun time, the Lord has been speaking to me in strange and new ways; ways I never pondered before. You know when you hear of something happening to someone else, and you think in your heart "Well that would never happen to me." Yeah, I've done the same thing. But the Lord has proved me wrong in so many different ways already, and it's only the 4th day of my 10 day trip.
One thing in particular, happened last night (or, rather early this morning). I was tossing and turning in my bed, unable to sleep (& if you know me at all you know that I usually have no trouble sleeping), when I suddenly found myself wide
awake, sitting up in my bed. You can call me a liar if you want, but I could have sworn I heard someone calling my name! It was the strangest experience. But instead of making Samuel's mistake in 1 Samuel 3 (where the Lord called unto Samuel and he thought it was Eli calling him), I just said to the Lord "what do you want to tell me?" And I heard the verse Psalm 4:4. The funny thing is, I glanced at my phone and it said 4:04 AM, but it was really 3:04 because my phone is stuck on US time (but I think God is funny that way. I think He wanted me to see 4:04 because of the verse He gave me).
Anyway, the verse reads:
Stand in awe, and sin not: Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah (Psalm 4:4 ASV)
Funny. I was sitting on my bed when I read this verse, so I just decided to lie down and search my heart. I probably spoke with God for about an hour before I fell back asleep. It was the most refreshing conversation I've ever had with Him. He revealed a lot to me.
I am feeling very thankful for the experiences He is bringing to me on this trip. I feel renewed.
