Listening.

This week I heard God whisper to me throughout the weekend. Nothing makes sense yet. I don't want to interpret what I want it to be, but rather what God wants it to be. I need more details figured out.
I was rockin the BBQ this weekend cooking turkey burgers with homegrown veggies, killer. As I opened the grill and fired it up, it made an awesome an empowering instant heat action. Instantly God said "Chris!! YOU are going to HAVE to go back and feed those people (MSM residents) because nobody else will."
Well crap.
So I have been waiting for this obvious nudge and here it is I guess. I don't know any more details. I'm still trying to make sense of it. It's pretty vague to me still. I'm going to surround myself in friends that want to make this journey with me. I envision it being cold, maybe wet, but also loaded with piping hot food. I'm thinking soups, homemade bread, homemade dishes, like a potluck, except we are bringing the food for them. I can't wrap my brain around it right now. I need to get back to working.
Who wants to join me?
You KNOW I am serious!
No waiting to the last minute this time.
I'm thinking the weekend before Thanksgiving.
Also, God told me I am putting together a list of people in the Manor that we can buy Christmas gifts for. I don't know more than that. Like shoeboxes, only toned down a bit. I'd ask 'why me God' but I already know the answer.

Because I love it.

Well, you know about my baking thing already, so here I am too... The chicks at work say I am baking stuff to make 'em chubby. I may have pointed out their lack of movement for 8 hours a day, but hey, who wants to take advice from Miss Turbo Jam anyway??

I'll try to be a bit more helpful this time. I can do way better than sugar and toys. : ) Get at me.

Okay, this is probably bragging, which isn't cool, but I have to admit that I make amazing homemade bread. And quite possibly the best. brownies. ever. I don't normally like people to know this about me - but there it is. In black & white. You've forced it out of me. So, I'm in.

Isn't it the most awesome feeling when you hear the voice of God, even if it IS just a whisper? It gives me a crinkly feeling up and down my back and a heart of overwhelming gratitude. Keep listening and thank God for a man with an ear for God's voice!
