Name that tune folks!
I should be doing a post about this weekend and all it means for America...but why be like everyone else?
I'm curious about how others communicate with God and even more how He communicates back to you. Do you hear a still small voice? Do you think it's through events? How about signs? I don't necessarily mean literal signs, although I think they can be used as a means to deliver His message.
For example, last week I drove through Chandler on the way to Brownsboro four different times. I don't drive through often and usually, I go through the green light (there's one stoplight) and pass on through without much thought. Last week though, I hit the light each time it turned red. So I had to slow down to pass through. Each time I noticed the sign in front of their FBC. It read, "Impatience is a form of unbelief." Four times I've read that sign. And it speaks to me. I only wish I knew how to be more patient with certain aspects of my life. I feel like I've been mostly patient, but I'm sure even mostly patient falls under the unbelief category. So was that a sign that I need to believe deeper?
Going back another few weeks...I discovered a song about two months ago that I really really like. And I think it would be a perfect (read - just sappy enough without oozing velveeta) first dance song if I ever get married (of course he'd get a vote, but as there isn't a he, that's irrelevant right now). Fast forward a little and I've been traveling for work. This leaves me with a little too much time to think alone and too often that leads to my pity party of one. I was feeling a little blue and too tired as I walked into my hotel to check-in. There were guys from Bryan (hometown shout-out!) who were having problems checking in. As a result, I had to wait a little longer in the mostly quiet lobby. As I stood there not really paying attention - familiar notes caught my ear. "My" song was playing. And it's not a well known song - so it isn't something overplayed in every hotel lobby/elevator/canned music venue. Am I silly for hoping that was a sign of reassurance that things will work out the way I pray for?
What do y'all think dear friends?
And lest I'm charged with treason...Happy 234th Birthday America!

From my experience -- God can speak to us in so many ways. Through a bible verse that keeps appearing, through the unexpected words of a friend or stranger, through a thought that "suddenly" enters your head. The possibilities are endless... because this is God we're talking about!
The way I know when God has spoken to me is that the message (whatever it is) just keeps coming and coming and coming and coming until I can't help but laugh at how God realizes I am dense, and therefore need to hear something 100 times before I accept that it's from Him.
So keep listening. I do think He's telling you something.
You betcha there are things heard. Sometimes things are just a coinsidence and sometimes, they just hit you like a ton of bricks. The suddle and not so suddle things that mean something to you is God's way of making you think about something...so keep up the thinking if something strikes you. There is a reason for everything.
I agree that God communicates through signs. There are times when I'll see something or hear something totally ordinary, but it has special meaning to me.
