I realize that I have not written in a very long time. It's not that I haven't wanted to. Actually I have started to write several times but then had to go and do something else. My laptop has not been functioning so writing at home has not been happening and of course my time at work needs to be primarily spent on work :)
Today I felt led to write an example of how God speaks to me many times. I decided to start from when I got up this morning and just include things that are put in my path.
Quick background for the day.....my husband and I are in the middle of a struggle...right now...this day. We are not sure how things are going to turn out but we know that God has His hand on it. No matter what it may look like.....we KNOW that God is bigger than our circumstance. Knowing this......here is how my morning has been and it is only 9:30 a.m.
Instead of sleeping in this morning I felt led to get up and watch a video.
To Pray or Not To Pray by Robert Morris - Gateway Church
The message is excellent! It was so needed to encourage me today that YES God hears my prayers and though He cannot change His character according to the Word.....He CAN change His mind :)On the bus to work I tend to listen to something whether it be music or a teaching message or something. This morning I couldn't get the message I wanted to listen to to play. It was then dropped in my spirit to play:
No Matter What by Kerrie Roberts
Which led me to play .....Keep Breathing by Kerrie Roberts and that became my "Song of the Day"
I got to work and looked up my daily devotional by Joyce Meyer:
Passing Life's Tests
Life is filled with challenges that test our determination and our faith in God. Whether we're faced with the impending threat of evil or with everyday hassles, the quality of our character is sure to be tested on a regular basis.
It would be a great mistake to overlook the fact that God tests our hearts, our emotions and our minds. What does it mean to test something? It means to put pressure on it to see if it will do what it says it will do. Will it hold up under stress? Can it perform at the level its maker says it can? Is it genuine when measured against a true standard of quality?
God does the same with us.
Are you being tested today? The key is to keep trusting God, even if you don't understand. There is no such thing as trusting God without unanswered questions, but when you push ahead, despite your doubts, He will build you up and make you strong.
Psalm 7:9
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
Prayer Starter: Lord, when tested, I want to be ready, holding up under pressure, following You no matter what. Show me daily how to put my trust in You, even when I struggle with unanswered questions.

I then logged on to Pandora to listen to some music and the very first song was:
I've come to love You Lord,
I've come to bring all my praise
I've come to honour You,
And to glorify Your beautiful Name.Your favour is surrounding me.
Your word is lighting my way.
You're faithful to deliver me,
Your glorious love leads the way to salvation.
All heaven and earth will worship You
Singing holy is the Lord.
A hymn of pure adoration,
as we see Your wonderful Kingdom come.
Your favour is surrounding me,
Your word is lighting my way.
You're faithful to deliver me,
Your glorious love leads the way to salvation.

Daily Text that I receive today said:
When you know that Jesus has removed all burdens, you will refuse to be weighted down by them. Meditating on the Word will give you access to victorious living.

Soooo....not to keep you reading forever but in just a few hours of my day I truly feel that God has let me know that He is in this with me. I am not alone. To be honest I actually have a peace. This is just a brief example of how some of my days go. It isn't just when I am struggling. He shows up every day in big and small ways.
