Do you hear what I hear ?

So today in church we were talking about "When do you hear God ?"
The question was "In what situation have you felt like God was telling you something?"

Everyone had an answer , some people had two and I'm just sitting here like Raeven why don't you have an answer . I started to scare myself , have I never heard God the way these people have . I thought to myself of course you have but I couldn't find a situation , I could think of anything .  Like someone said when she was in a compromising situation he felt Him giving her directions to get so I thought have I ever heard him helping with something but I couldn't and someone else said when it was exam time she felt Him telling her to be calm . Nope never felt that either ! I was really worried !
But then someone talked about how their many attempts to suicide failed and every time afterwards there was a sign of music and she realized that He was telling her that she need to bless people with her music , then it hit me I was thinking of the everyday situations I have experienced not the situations where he would have spoken to me in such a way that I knew it was him .
I raised my hand and said "I remember when I was at my lowest point in life and I couldn't think of doing anything but crying and I got in trouble at school as often a I could just so I could stay away from the people hurting me and one day I was by myself ready to just cry again and happened to see a scripture and it just happened to apply to my situation and I just felt like God was waiting for this opportunity when I was so open that I could really hear what he was telling me." Everyone clapped and I sat down but it was almost as if God was talking to me right then and there telling me to stop bottling up my emotions , these people around are here to comfort me and make me feel loved , that's why he has put them in my life . The conversation changed to "How do you know it was the Lord?" How do you know , you know by the feeling you get afterwards .

I felt so comfortable I did something new , Rev.Don asked for all the writers or aspiring writers to come forward and usually I stay in my seat at the back but I got up . His assignment was to write a spoken word or poem response to the statement "Do you hear what I hear? . We went to work everyone was just typing away or writing away and I'm just here like what do I write , the all of a sudden my fingers were typing , my thoughts were flowing , I took all the situations in which you could hear God and I made them into a poem . Unfortunately , I couldn't finish because I started late but I did a few lines . So when my turn came I said

People started snapping when I was done , people were saying that was really good , I thought it wasn't nearly as good as they said but it felt good to know it made sense to someone else but me . Anyway the message to take from this blog post is the no matter who you follow God or Allah or whoever , sometimes it feels good to go back and think of when they made a difference on your life .
