Wow! Well, this is really new to me.   My mom has told me for years I should write a book but let's be honest.  I am a terrible speller and I write the way I talk.   I decide that it would be fun to share what God is doing in my life and maybe inspire someone to see who God is.    I can do nothing without him.   I see him in the smile of my son and the voices of my daughters songs.   He is important in my life.  

This week has been interesting at best.   Sunday night there was a sound of footsteps in our hall.  It was our oldest daughter moving back in after a bad roommate experience.   Tuesday of this week she moved some things home but broke her phone in the process.   I was on the computer when she walks in with a terrible look on her face and informs me that she will buy me a new one.   I asked what happened and she tells me that  she hit the mailbox.   I asked if everyone was okay.  She said everyone was fine but  not the mailbox.   I went out and looked and mailbox was in bad shape but it could be worse.

My husband is out of town.  I have to be the handyman around here.  I had no idea how to put the mailbox back together.   Here is where God comes in.  I felt like I should ask my neighbor for help.  You need to understand.  He is like a handyman extraordinaire.  He can fix anything or has the tools to fix anything.  I should have just listened  to my inner voice.  I called my father in law and he came to try and fix it.  He was able to make it work but not without letting me know I was going to have to go buy a new post because he and I could not figure out how to fix the old one.

Just then my neighbor walked by,  We begin to tell him what is going on.  He says I think I can fix it.  45 minutes later my mailbox was back in place and you can't tell that anything had happened.   Now if I had just listen to the inner voice which I believe is the Holy Spirit, I could have saved myself  and my father in law a lot of trouble.  

Do you do ignore that inner voice? The pull to do something you would not normally do.   I believe that is the suggestion of the Holy Spirit.  He is gentle and does not scream in your ear do this and it will be easier in the long run.  No he does not scream.  He just whispers his wisdom for the moment sometimes before we even ask for help.
