God JUST SPEAK TO ME!!!



This morning, while driving, God placed a mirror before my eyes and He allowed me to see myself at the very moment of life I was in. For the past week I have been crying out to God asking him to guide me lead me, speak to me and direct me in what to do about a current trouble I am facing. I have been pleading with him daily to shine light on the situation and to speak to my heart about what to do and how to respond…in all of my crying I have not heard His voice or direction. Discouragement creeps in easily when we are desperate.


Well this morning while driving, God allowed me to see myself in my sweet toddler. My Pie woke up in quiet a mood, crying before her feet even hit the floor. I knew it was going to be a day. When she is upset she always asks me to sing (I can’t carry a tune in a dump truck, yet my singing brings her comfort). I turned her little worship music up and began singing…still she is screaming, “Mommy sing, please mommy, sing!” I continued to sing, just a little louder. She continued crying out, “mommy, please sing, I want you to sing.” I looked in the mirror and said, stop crying, I am singing. Yet, she only continued in her charade. I kept singing and she kept begging me to sing. I finally said, "STOP! Just be still and be quiet and you will hear my voice." DING DING DING…I stopped at a red light and just said, “wow…that is exactly what I am doing with God.” 


I am the one who is crying out, begging to hear his voice. I am carrying on and acting out…In that moment I heard God loud and clear, “Sit still Dori, you will hear my voice”. I was so busy screaming at him and demanding to hear him that I never stilled my mind and heart to hear him or even see if He was speaking to me…Now I know He was speaking, I was just yelling over him.

Are you yelling over God today? Be still...know that He is God (Ps 46:10). He hears His sheep (John 10:27), He knows them by name (Is 42: 1-2), He will hold you up with his righteous right hand (Is 41:10).

    Thank you for posting this. I have been dealing with this the last "weekish" and had to remind myself to just be still.

Dare to wonder....

It is dangerous to wonder....it is even more dangerous to share what you wonder, and why you wonder what you do, but here is to the daring!!!! Josh and I were sitting here...just staring at our little darling as she drifted off to sleep and we began to wonder.... Have you ever watched a baby...especially a newborn when they are awake? You will see them looking above you and behind you with great focus and alertness. I always wonder...what are they looking at? Sometimes they coo and smile at whatever it is so you can't help but wonder, what do they see? What about when they sleep? Do you ever notice how they smile so much as they sleep? What do they dream about? Roselyn laughs in her sleep and it is the sweetest thing! What is she laughing at? I have heard it been said more than once that babies can see angels. The Bible indicates that God reveals things to them; "At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things fro...

Finding God in the Everyday

Well friends, yesterday was full of a lot of firsts! But let me begin with a story of irony (if you can call it that). My godson, Jeremiah, told me I'd be having the baby today...we kind of joked about it all day. Well he wasn't so far off, we indeed spent time in a hospital, and I did have a little scare that Rosie was going to come today. How did this all begin? It began with a bunch of 'firsts'. This afternoon I accompanied Josh to the car to collect receipts so I could itemize our taxes. He was getting ready to go to practice and I wanted fresh air. After I got the receipts, Josh went into grab his coat. Our neighbor dog was sitting by the car, so I joined him and "my cat" on the curb. I was petting him. After about 5-10 mins I decided to go back in and get back to work. Upon getting up from the curb the dog just latched onto my face. He didn't growl or warn me at all, he just lunged and bit. I knew not to pull away. When he let go I began to stand up ...

Moment of Reflection

Frustration to the up-most: What we have when we cannot control things in life. When I feel out of control I feel most helpless. I need control, it is my professed weakness. God deals with me constantly in this aspect of my life. This is my wilderness lesson that God repeats year after year in my life. He may spend the next 40 years beating me with this lesson, and I welcome it, because with each beating He opens my eyes. Unfortunately, I cannot understand why the lesson does not sink in so I can move onto a different lesson. Since arriving in Israel, as many of you know, life has presented us with MANY challenges. I guess I wasn't expecting these challenges. See, the year before my husband and I got married I prayed over every aspect of life by categories (as not to forget anything) every day of every week. Our first year of marriage was so smooth, Josh's basketball contract and everything that went with it was perfect! So I did the same knowing we had baby on the way...and I...
