How Does God Speak to Me?

 

I was thinking about writing this for days.  This morning a synchronicity occurred which prompted me on.  This synchronicity was in the reading of Carla G’s article:  Discussion Topic #9, “How Does God Communicate With You?”

This past spring I awoke thinking I must look for that missing sock today.  These were my favorite socks.  I had one sock, but one was missing.  It had been missing for a month.  I kept thinking it would turn up, falling out of laundry or something like that.  Since this was Saturday my husband was home and I would get him to move the washer and dryer out thinking perhaps it had fallen behind one of them. 

Being a lazy Saturday, I fell back asleep for about an hour.  We finally arose, and had breakfast.  I had forgotten, once again about the sock.  After breakfast, we started talking about spiritual things.  I had a question for God.  I get so involved in the “whys” and the mysteries of the universe.  I was doing some deep soul searching.  Intuitively I got the answer; almost as if God were telling me directly.  It seemed so clear.  I wasn’t too crazy about the answer, but just feeling God’s presence in that moment was reassuring.  Then, I said, well that felt so real, but “just give me a sign.”

My husband at the same moment walked back into the room.  He had left me there to ponder all this just minutes before.  He was standing in the doorway putting on an old shirt, to go work outside.  As he was putting it on, the sock fell to the floor.
