Spiritual State of Mind

Today, I decided to roam the streets of Blogger and hit up a few of the lovely folks that I am following, if not all.

I've enjoyed everything that I read, but I have to say it's almost a bit overwhelming for me. & I don't want this to sound weird or anything but I am 100% sure that God is speaking to me. I feel like the posts that I have been reading were his way of initiating a pow wow between he and I.
Although I may pray everyday, and that counts as conversation, it's really a one way thing. It's me speaking to him. ...Getting a response is nothing new to me but today, I sincerely feel as if he sat me down in all seriousness and spoke to me.

...what did I receive from it? -- "I have given you life, provided you with many gifts, many talents, utilize them! There is nothing in life that is greater than me, fear nothing and no one! Rid yourself of negativity and continue to surround yourself with well-doers. I am aware of your dreams, I paint those pictures. I am aware of your obstacles, I coordinate those struggles. I do this for your Growth. No one loves you more than I, not him, not them, not even yourself. ...continue to Pray and keep faith. ...know that I am holding your hand, even when I'm not"

...and then I headed over to another great blog, and I found this ....

meet me in the stairwell.

You say you will never forget where you were when >>> you heard the news On September 11, 2001. >>>Neither will I. >>>>>> I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room >>> with a man who called his wife to say 'Good-Bye.' I >>> held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the >>> peace to say, 'Honey, I am not going to make it, but it >>> is OK..I am ready to go.' >>>>>> I was with his wife when he called as she fed >>> breakfast to their children. I held her up as she >>> tried to understand his words and as she realized >>> he wasn't coming home that night. I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a >>> woman cried out to Me for help. 'I have been >>> knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!' I said. >>> 'Of course I will show you the way home - only >>> believe in Me now.' >>>>>> I was at the base of the building with the Priest >>> ministering to the injured and devastated souls. >>> I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He >>> heard my voice and answered. I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, >>> with every prayer. I was with the crew as they >>> were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the >>> believers there, comforting and assuring them that their >>> faith has saved them. >>>>>> I was in Texas , Virginia , California , Michigan , Afghanistan . >>> I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news. >>> Did you sense Me? >>>>>> I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew >>> every name - though not all knew Me. Some met Me >>> for the first time on the 86th floor.. Some sought Me with their last breath.. >>> Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the >>> smoke and flames; 'Come to Me... this way... take >>> my hand.' Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me. >>>But, I was there. >>>>>> I did not place you in the Tower that day. You >>> may not know why, but I do. However, if you were >>> there in that explosive moment in time, would you have >>> reached for Me? >>> >>> Sept. 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey >>> for you. But someday your journey will end. And I >>> will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may >>> be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are >>> 'ready to go.' I will be in the stairwell of your final moments. >>>>>> God>>> During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are >>> doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it >>> is only 1 minute.) All you have to do is the >>> following: >>>>>> Stop and think and appreciate God's power >>> in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to >>> Him. If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the >>> instructions. Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of Me, I will be >>> ashamed of you before My Father.' If you are not ashamed, copy and send this message...only >>> if you believe 'Yes, I love my God. He is my >>> fountain of Life and My Savior. He Keeps me going day and >>> night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do >>> everything. Christ is my strength.'
