I have asked God a question.

I consider it to be an very important question. I believe that God also recognizes this. I seriously hope that I am asking the question, because God is desiring to give me the answer.

Every once in a while, I feel like God is telling me the answer, deep in my spirit. But that isn’t good enough. I have asked God to show me in an unmistakeable way. Sometimes, with some questions, it isn’t only the answer that is important, but it is also the way that it is answered. So, I still wait. I pray, I believe, and I wait. I hope to get an answer. And I believe that God longs to give me one.

I watched the movie Prince Caspian tonight. Very nice movie. I was in bed for two hours, then woke up from a strange dream (strangely enough, I was thinking maybe my dream would answer my question – it was odd, but it didn’t). I got up, got some water and some yogurt, and sat down and popped the DVD in and watched. I had to keep stopping it – between my sobbing, the re-occurring deep desire to pray, and the tears streaming down my cheeks, it was too hard to watch it straight through.

It was a very encouraging film. I find myself wanting to dance with the trees, talk with the badgers and the mice, feel the breath of God, and wrap my arms around my Saviour. I love that sense of wonder, that feeling like God can do ANYTHING, like how kids feel about their parents when they are young.

I guess I should go back to bed soon. Three days off from work now, so…plenty of time to spend with God. Not much else of importance for this young man to do. Besides, what is more important than spending time with God? Anything?

Jesus bless you all. I pray that for all of you who read this, and all who I count as my friends, that this will be a Year of Jubilee for you. May God release you from everything that you cannot release yourself from. May the strong hand of God move in your every situation, crushing strongholds and releasing you to freedom and love you have never before experienced.
