15 minutes...

I’m a “list” person. I like “lists”. They help me think…..organize…..reflect….and get things done.

The other day I made a list of things God has been Whispering into my life for the last little while. It’s a legal pad that says….

….Grace – Gratitude – Blessing.
….Good Father – Good Gifts – Good God (not vengeful).
….Free from condemnation and guilt.
….Lostness – need for God.
….Judging others – self.

Most times I like crossing things off my lists more than I like putting them on it.

Not this time. This list wasn’t about crossing off. It was just some time with me and God. It had been a long couple days and I was in my car for another 15 mins. until the things of life recaptured my day.

But before life took over again, I got 15 Holy minutes with God.

That’s the only way I can describe them.

Holy.

Just moments. But God was there. His Presence. His Voice. His Whisper. And we talked. Just me and God. He let me talk the most….I think He knew I needed to get some things off my mind and heart (and He knows I’m a talker).

He just listened……and He Whispered.

I can’t tell you what He said.

Not because He told me not to.

But because I don’t really know. I don’t know that He really said anything. I just know that for about 15 mins…..God stopped whatever He was doing…..and hung out with me.

I can’t explain it….never can. Can’t explain that sense. The sense that God was there…that He is attentive to my heart.

I can’t explain it.....but I know.

And I loved every minute.
