God’s Been Messing with Me…

God’s been really messing with me lately.
Love, security, finding our purpose–it’s all kinda weird.
Last night Emily and I watched an online church service from this past weekend. Man–it was like the pastor was talking directly to us. It was flipping crazy. Seriously, the whole big idea and the whole message was dealing with what we had just discussed like 30 minutes prior.
This morning, I read a blog post from a pastor who talks about something else God’s been messing with me about. This guy is several months ahead of where we are in the issue, but poignant questions, simply trusting in God when you know he gave you a vision.
Later this morning, I read a friend’s blog that made me think about loving….man, I’ve been dealing with what loving a non-Christian looks like. It’s sometimes hard, but God’s working on me to love. Love, love, love.
It’s crazy…God is using the Internet to confirm his speaking to me. Note I’m not getting vision from God from the Internet, but He is certainly confirming the vision He’s given me through the Internet.
All this stuff is really messing with me…God’s growing me a lot lately.
Not sure where all I’m going, what God’s direction is, but I do know He is not nearly done using me yet. I’ve been called to achieve more than where I’m at. I’m not done. I’m just following the Holy Spirit’s every leading in my life.
How is God messing with you?

by creating the situation that caused me to blog. i know i need to love, but part of me still holds onto the hurt that the person caused me years ago. I need to learn to let go, thats my thing. I hold on so tight that it takes Him prying my fingers apart before I’ll begin to relax my grip.

Here’s how God messed with me the other day. I still don’t know what he was trying to tell me, maybe just to be thinking about him and pray more or something.
I was travelling to Michigan on business. A song came on the radio that I really like, but for some reason I didn’t feel like listening to it, so I changed the channel. There was Crosby Stills & Nash singing The Southern Cross. I like that, so I sang along with the song and drove along. Before the song was over, I saw those 3 crosses you see here and there along the interstate. I found that wierd with the timing and all…then I rounded a corner and here was one of those billboards with a message signed –GOD.
Now, this would only happen in Bruce Almighty, right? I was convinced right then and there that God was after my attention, and He had it. I think I prayed the rest of the way to my destination, and half the way back. Maybe that’s all he wanted was a little bit of my time. Here was a few hours of downtime with nothing else to do…I should have thought of that on my own.

He’s not. Which annoys me. I WANT to be messed with. C’est la vie, no?
