In Genesis 8 the verse states and they heard the voice of the lord walking in the garden in the cool of the day. I don't think that God has a problem talking. The bible does state several times through out the bible that God does talk. The problem is that we don't always listen. I am guilty of this myself. Sometimes life gets so busy that I don't have time to just sit in a quiet place and listen to God. In my spiritual life I am learning to distinguish the difference between what I want to here and what God wants me to here. Practice makes perfect. I definitely here from God and know that it is him because his ways are not our ways. When God speaks to me I know that it is him because the answer to any question that I ask is never what I would think of. It is true when the bible says that his ways are not our ways. God thinks above us. It is when we try to bring God down to our level we mess up. Thank God that he knows the heart or else we would be in big trouble.

I am thanking God for the new year with the thought of praying and listening. With so much going on in my life I desire to find time with God. In the morning on my way to work is prayer time, me and God time. Through out the day is me and God time. While I am at work it is me and God time. When I get home it is me and God time. I have to thank him for getting me through my busy life. This month is yet another birthday for me and I am thinking God for yet another year. "Somebody once said I am not getting older I am getting better" I can truly say with God I am getting better. I am learning to lean and depend on him this is not to say that the devil has not been trying he would not be on his job if he was not trying. Its okay! Because the more he trys the more I lean to my fathers promises of victory against the enemy. Knowing that no weapon formed against me shall prosper in the name of Jesus. Is every thing picture perfect? No! But with God all things are possible. I am learning to deny myself and to let go. That is a hard subject for me because I would rather cut off then to let go. Letting go is letting God. Cutting off is doing things my way. Letting go is leaving people in the hands of God. Knowing that my father will take care of them and me. As long as God is leading. I don't have a problem with God leading because he can do anything but fail.
