call me crazy

Have you ever felt like God said something to you? Like a voice in your head? And then seconds after the epiphany you've doubted whether that was actually God or just a random, crazy, totally-out-of-the-blue thought that your brain came up with?

Last night i was reminded of one of these thoughts that i had a while back. It was a ridiculously crazy thought. Kinda the ones that you're pretty sure could only come from God because why on earth would you have thought of that anyways? But i shoved it out of my mind cause it was an extremely challenging thought that involved another person... which always makes those 'revelations' a little iffy for me.

But as i was thinking about it again last night, and as i was wondering again whether it was from God or from me, i was reminded that regardless of where it came from God was at work. It might not have been God's voice telling me that but it was something that drove me to finally do something i've been meaning to do, that will hopefully also ripple out and affect the lives of others. Afterwards, i sat down and wrote the following words in my journal: "as I sat here thinking about it I realized that God's word or not, God is at work. I know that I was meant to do that so whatever that was meant for will happen because God has a plan, even if it was just my brain going crazy."


i think it's amazing that we have a God that wants to be so involved in our lives. That He has amazing plans for His people that will ultimately work out for our good - even in the hard times He is using them to shape and mold and create us into someone who is more like Him. What an incredible thought!

So if you're wondering whether or not you've heard from God, dig in! Dig into the Bible and dig into prayer to seek His will for you. Because sometimes those crazy thoughts - regardless of whether they were specifically God or your own thoughts - are placed in your mind because God has something huge in mind. He isn't a God who hides His will from His people. He makes it clear if we are willing to listen and be obedient, which I know is definitely easier said than done, but He appreciates every step we take towards Him, even if it's just a small one.

i know i'm being a bit cryptic but it's mostly because my thought has a long way to go before i know for sure where it came from. And that kinda makes me excited. i know God's got something planned and He's at work, and i've already seen Him work through this. i'm excited to see this out to it's conclusion... regardless of whether its conclusion will be the crazy thought one or another one that's just as incredible!
