God Talked to Me Today

There is no mistaking exactly when God talks to you. You are filled with a feeling unlike anything you can ever experience. There have been a few times in my life where I have felt God through the Holy Spirit. Sometimes it was to push me in a direction that needed my attention. Sometimes it was because I was needed to help someone, and sometimes, it was to convict me for thoughts or things I was doing.

Sometimes God talks to you so that you can provide a message to others. This has happened to me a couple of times. The most recent was to share a message with my sister in law.

The one important thing to remember is that you can't do anything without God.

I remind myself on a daily basis that I am not alone, and that God is always with me. Its not that I doubt his existence because he has done too many incredible things and provided so many wonderful blessings, that I wonder how anyone cannot believe in God.

Springtime always amazes me, because it's like one day you look out and there are no leaves, not one sprig of green grass and then all at once you blink and the hand of God touches every living thing and it comes to life. There have been several things that have happened through out my life to make me stray from God. Things that I thought were my fault, but weren't. Things that as
