I am slightly wowed at how many things I have thought about today. It is amazing when you turn down the power on all of what life has to offer, all the stimuli, just how much noise you discover in you.
I prayed in the Spirit today just on the sofa, under a blanket and let's see... how many things were reeling through my head. I wanted to know exactly what days I had taken off for vacation this past October, how many days I should allow for shipping of my just-ordered checks, pondered whether to return a recent purchase and buy a shower water filter instead... and so on.
God is shockingly loud and clear inside of us when we turn our ears inward. This is my experience. In taking the day to just sit and pray, it struck me first how much I was thinking about all at once and second how much God could fill that space as I gave him my focused attention. I can get so busy that quiet becomes scary. I become afraid to submit to it. It always turns out for the best though. It's not the quiet before the storm.
