Déjà vu, God is that you?

So, sometimes I get this feeling. It's a kind of like a déjà vu feeling. Like my spirit knows something but my mind can't connect to it.
It nags at me, until I pull myself away, to find a quiet space and give it room to speak. I listen, quiet my soul and allow room to hear the inner voice. Call it intuition, call it God's internal voice. We all have the ability to hear it, if we give it room.
So hear I am, quieting my self to hear. I closed my eyes and asked God to flow freely in my thoughts. I pictured a river, flowing through my core and I put up no resistance to its waters.
There it is, I instantly see a green image, two rows of tall green trees with grass running through the middle. I sense new growth, richness, life & strength. A hard, sturdy, floor on which to run.
This place represents my new home to be-London. I stand in awe of the tall trees, insignificant in their shade, yet covered by them, hidden, protected, sheltered. I feel safe, I feel fresh, like a new page in a book, no scribblings from past days.
This is new. Like the first day of spring, signs of winter are gone, new buds appearing, life starting again.
Growth.
Freedom.
I breathe it in, I allow that sensation to penetrate my heart. I want to accept this message from God and really acknowledge what he is showing me. I smile, I am thankful for the days to come, I feel he is preparing me for this new day ahead. A new season for me, my family and many adventures to come.
Thankful for the knowledge of God's existence, thankful for his comfort, his peace, his guidance. Even when I am afraid and apprehensive of the future and all that is unknown, he stoops down and whispers in my ear. 'All is well my love. All is well.'
The warmth of his smile is felt, like the warmth of the sun on my skin.

 

 

Dreams...

We all dream. Often God is talking to us when we sleep. Sometimes we dream when we are awake-we see things in our minds eye that plays out in front of us. What have you dreamt recently? Do you write it down? Perhaps God is trying to get your attention.... Symbolism and parabels is often how He speaks, so sometimes the dream seems strange. But are you paying attention to your dreams? ♥

 

God speaks

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.

Proverbs 22:6 

This morning, in the car to school,

we tried something different.

I am trying to encourage my children to listen and recognise Gods voice to them.

We always pray on our way to school and today

I asked the girls to close their eyes,

ask God to speak to them,

give them some words 

or a picture.

They each had a moment to ask and think..

Then I said,

"What did you see or hear?"

Ellie, my middle daughter had a picture of our neighbours,

they go to the same school as us and have just moved around the corner.

She saw our family and theirs.

Jessie, my eldest saw a bunch of flowers.

Later that day,

this new neighbour turned up at our door,

with a bunch of flowers for me as we had helped them out.

It wasnt until I was unwrapping them to put in a vase that jessie exclaimed,

"Mummy!! Flowers!...from the people Ellie saw in her picture!"

God is good.

Love Him and how he can speak even to the little children.
