Dumbstruck
There's going to be a little talk about God here so if you aren't comfortable with that....page away.....
Okay, at the risk of being thought a touch insane, there was an event which happened Wednesday afternoon that removes all doubt from my mind that the God of my understanding is working in my life. I don't usually make sweeping declarative statements like that but there you have it. Some incidents leave you wondering whether it may be random occurrence or simple co-incidence but the ties are so close you have a pretty good idea whose work is at hand. The God of my understanding is usually a low-key subtle player who nudges and suggests, then lets me make my own conclusions. Not today. This was more a 'shaken by the scruff of the neck', 'slapped upside the head', 'no holds barred' version.
It lasted about 20 seconds; it was significant to only two people; we both saw it unfold and only we saw it happen; we looked at each other and both knew it for what it was. We were left profoundly shaken. And rightly so; it's not every day you hear God speak so clearly.
And yes, I'm mentally and emotionally fine - thanks for asking. Back to your regularly scheduled posts soon.

I've had one of those profound experiences. It's tough to explain to others. Almost impossible, really.
It was life changing, that's for sure.
That's why I didn't try to explain the actual evvent - I haven't words for that. Certainly it'll never be forgotten. New levels of belief.
