Jesus Calling?

    I've been reading a devotional book called "Jesus Calling" since September, and I gotta say it's one of the best little five minute devos I've ever done. I've never been a devotional type person. I was raised in church and have felt since young adulthood, "churched out". I mean we were there every time the doors were open and I have always known the right answers. Dane and I both struggle with that. We always know the right answers, but applying them to our lives is a different story. You know, the way we can become numb to certain things when exposed to them a lot. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying our parents were wrong in raising us this way at all! You know the saying, "going back to your roots", I believe this wholeheartedly. We will most likely go back to our roots. That's why it's so important to "root" our children with the right ideals.
     Back to the book..... Through this book the Lord has spoken to me the most audibly I've ever heard Him. It seems that every time I open this book and the scriptures that go along with it, even if it's a little sentence, there's something that I can apply to my life that very day. It never ceases to amaze me. See, that's how numb I had become to all things spiritual. I am surprised at even the minutest way He can speak to me. Actually, I seem to be more surprised at the little things than the big things. It's easy to see God in the sky that goes on as far as our eyes can see, but when He whispers, my selfish thoughts are too loud to hear Him. I have become so much more aware of Him in every hour of the day. Even in the little things that it would seem shouldn't matter to such a big God, but do, because they matter to me. In short, I have seen God's love for me. That has always been the toughest thing for me to see. His Love. If you haven't gotten this book, get it. It will change your perspective.
