The One Where God Speaks
I should REEEEEEEAAAAALLLLLLYYYYY be asleep right now.
But I'm not, of course. Because that would be the opposite of fun.
I wanted to tell you a little story.
So, you know that my life has been a little different since Spring Break. At least, you do if you pay ANY attention to what I write on here. There have been some drastic changes in my relationship with God and in my understanding of his purpose for my life.
My goodness, that sounds Stained-Glass-Windowy, doesn't it? "Come when you can, leave when you must."
Anyway, this week has been fraught with communication difficulties. Not with the telephone, but between me and God. I have had trouble being consistent in prayer and in the time that I spend focusing on Him. Sooo, all day Wednesday, I prayed that God would bring me back to the place where I was a few weeks ago - when ever part of the day was filled with this weird joy...oh, it's difficult to describe. Since getting back to Texas, I haven't been able to get the excitement of what God has planned for me out of my head. I'm talking every minute of every day. It's much fun until I realize that I have zoned through an entire lecture on Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Well, this week has seen no lack of that excitement, but it's been harder to fight off the doubts and frustrations that pop into my head. That verse that always pops up, "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart," just hasn't been as quick to jump forward.
Tuesday night, that changed. I was messing around on the internet when I came across a site featuring a family that lives in Branson, Missouri. On the page detailing their somewhat sensational marriage, I ran across this...
Weeeeelllll, that kinda grabbed my attention. In the past few weeks it has actually been chilling to see God working so overtly. Wait, coincidence, you stay? Maybe...but there's more. After I continued reading the page, I found this note at the very bottom.
I don't believe in coincidences.
P.S. And I added a new podcast today.

Hey Jason...
Well, you don't know me, but, my family and I are outa-this-world Haygood fans, and I have found myself getting funny looks from my friends as I sit at the computer and laugh at your posts far too many times ;). And I mean laugh. I think there were actually tears on one occation...something about a dialogue of what the Haygoods think before the curtain opens to reveal that 700 theatre for another night of inspiration through music. Yeah...it was classic...in fact, most of the posts you make are classic. And, being a person who has experienced very much at a young age, and one that lives through her faith each and every day, I just need to praise you for this post on your blog, and all the rest. You really are making the most of all the talents, and time God has blessed you with. And that is something to be admired. Thanks for being you. The world is made a brighter place by people such as yourself.
Sincerly,
MinnesotaGirl
PS: I would probably die if you mentioned something on the MB to let me know you read this. Well, maybe not die, but would be one heckofa joyous soul! I have no time to post there, but love reading what other fans have to say!
