Divine whispers

I was talking to someone today about some of the things that have been happening lately, and she referred to them as a universal shift.  As the conversation progressed, I opened up some about my faith and my belief that there is a Divine hand at work in a number of areas.  Follow the rabbit trail, to intuition, and 'knowing' and her statement that "God has an ear in you.  He whispers and you hear Him--this isn't a bad thing, it is a gift [I previously referred to it as a curse]".  This statement brought a wave of emotion and tears that I have been holding back for some time, with which I was at least for a moment able to sit with before shutting them down with--whether it was doubt, fear, or what I don't know.  Followed, of course, by the negative self talk we all know I mastered long ago.

Now, whether God is talking to me, through me, or in me... some who read this will debate--and no, I have not experienced a recent psychotic break with religious tendencies.  But, I feel and see His presence in my life more now than ever before-- I am listening.

Jeremiah 29:11

New International Version (NIV)

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
