I prayed aloud on my way to work today. Many of the things I said caught me off-guard. I was puzzled as to how I could say something that I needed to hear--needed to learn--as if I'd known it all along.
- I don't want to be someone who only talks about work; though I've rapidly slipped back in to that. That's frustrating.
- I also don't want to be someone who is so caught up in the work I'm doing here that I miss what God is trying to do with me here...or somewhere else, for that matter.
- I'm losing it. I'm losing my ability to be as perceptive as I used to be. I was so good at hearing the unspoken things. And now my life is loud and I'm missing God's quiet whisper...but the worst part is, some days I don't even miss it.
- I have been running at high speed...and enjoying it. I'm laughing a lot, and checking loads of items off of my to-do lists, but I'm missing the stillness. The silence. The rest.
I had it.
I miss it.
I know that I could re-learn it...I just wish I hadn't lost it.

Sometimes, when I say something that I need to hear, when I say to myself, "Wow, where did that come from?! It's EXACTLY what I needed!"...
I have a feeling that maybe God whispered it to me and that I just said it out loud.
There's a lot of that going around lately.
love you
