I'm a firm believer in having conversations with God. Each day I try to spend some time talking with him and making sure that I check in. It's kind of my reassurance moment. I don't say anything special, I just talk as if I'm talking to a friend or family member. Of course he already knows what's on my mind and in my heart, I just like to make sure I have a daily conversation with him.
My conversations are typically about everyday life. Maybe some problems that I am going through or even something that was just a random thought. No matter how big or small I always take it to Him. I never feel ashamed to say what I'm thinking. Never do I feel like I asked a stupid question. The time nor the pace matters when I have these conversations. In the morning, on the subway, or even in an elevator. Al I need is a few shorts minutes and I'm good to go.
Over the past year I have been praying consistently for one specific thing. That is that God directs me to be a woman that he is proud of and give me a man who is after his heart. During the course of the year I have come across several men that God has directly told me to stay away from. However, since I'm hardheaded and like to learn from my failures I kept on picking bad apples. It wasn't until I stopped picking and just let God handle the situation that I was in. He placed someone in my life that I had prayed for and someone who I believe he wants for me. At first I was hesitant because I wasn't really sure if this was real. The dates were great, he was very nice and had everything that I was looking for. Of course my conversations with God became a little more specific after this. I wanted to make sure that I wasn't wasting my time with someone who isn't on the same page as me. So I prayed and prayed and prayed to God. Told him how I felt about this guy and asked him what he thought and what he thought I should do. Now, to some people this may sound crazy but it is totally possible to have a conversation with God. God has given me total reassurance that this guy is right for me. Now I'm not saying that I'm going to be jumping a broom any time soon, but I can definitely say that I am enjoying what's growing between us.
The point is that when you talk to God and don't listen to Him out of fear, you will surely see the difference when you really start listening and obeying what he says.
