two weeks into it.. yet God's already done miraculous things. He's taught me about community, about love, about Himself but the most important lesson, the lesson of a lifetime, came straight from the Big Guy. i've gone through my life believing in God and accepting His free gift of salvation through the death of His Son, and our Saviour Jesus Christ. i've had relationship with Jesus and i've gone through tough times and i've gone through good times with Him! but i've never heard God speak. the second week into TREK training my world was rocked.. and it hasn't stopped being shaken since then.. we spent a week learning about the different ways God speaks to us. and through it all i realized that God's spoken to me my entire life i've just never listened! but one of the craziest episodes of my life up to this point came one quiet thursday night..
48 hours of silence.. a deathsentence to some.. a dream to others.. i went into that time excited to hear God's voice.. i went in with a list full of expectations. and to put it simply God met me where i'm at. and he exceeded all expectations. it was the very first night of a very intentional time put aside to connect with my Father. and we connected on a level never met at before. i didn't realize the power in connecting with God. and when i say connecting i mean truly connecting. to be lieing down in a completely dark room, focusing in on nothing more than the flickering flame of a candle, and to hear God say specifically to yourself words that you've been inwardly longing for for the entirety of your life is incredible. in the stillness of the night surrounded by a complete assurance of God's awesome presence, He met me and said the words 'well done good and faithful servant'. it was an amazing time and i just couldn't bring myself to believe this was from God. but as much as i pushed this from my mind it kept coming back and He very much moved me to tears. as this was what i, unknowingly, needed to hear most at that point in my life..
