Can you hear me now.....if you haven't heard God in an audible way maybe you can use my experience as HEARING from God. For several months I have felt GOD was showing me that I needed to FOCUS on my KIDS and MARRIAGE, and close some doors so others would open. What greater blessing to HIM then to be the wife, mother, and daughter (his child) that he designed me to be.
I myself have never heard from God in an audible way but I have felt a tug or two...haha. Well, God got my attention today. I mentioned God was showing me, well at the time he was just bringing things to my attention to pay closer attention to with my children and my husband. TODAY HE SHOWED ME.
This isn't going to be easy to put out there, but with my focus being on my family I just recently removed my youngest child from daycare to FOCUS on him. He is a strong willed "blessing from God" which you will hear more about as you read on. But with that decision comes a schedule change with work and a shift in how I will do things.
Normally, I would schedule my appointments on Tuesday and Thursdays but now I have my boys. So, I thought, I will take them with me while I RUN IN to this property (for a staging consult) and they can watch a movie in the car. SAFE, LOCKED in, I have the KEY..........BUT as I was finishing up with my 15 minute appointment I was in the kitchen of this home and I see my van SLOWING rolling down the driveway. I said, "Is my van moving?" and started running out the door. I snugged my way in the driveway along side this huge dumpster so I am running beside the dumpster and my van, as it is rolling down the driveway, jump in the car and quickly put my brakes on. Really, this could have been a scene from a movie.....a horror story.
My five year old didn't even know what was happening and obviously my 3 year old (in a month) didn't know.
After I left I TRIED to move the ignition while my van was in a PARKED position and it didn't budge, how my son got it to move is beyond me. STRONG willed did I say.....
All I could think of is ok God, I HEAR YOU NOW!!!! This got my attention, what seemed to be a scary event couldn't have ended up much worse.
It is time to FOCUS on my family which means if I have my children I have no time for appointments. Not even a quick RUN IN. Maybe you have had a tug to do something different or stop doing something you have gotten in the habit of doing because it is just easier. Have you been HEARING FROM GOD? Are you listening??
Most of the time, doing was is easy, doesn't make it right.
Does anyone else have an experience of a time they learned a lesson like me??? Is this something you could BRING HOME??
