I can't remember where I got this from but it is a very powerful prayer that I once prayed and God has been reminding me of it lately.
"Beloved whenever you are in doubt as to which way to turn, submit your judgment absolutely to the spirit of God, asking him "blessed spirit, I give to you the entire responsibility of closing every road and stopping every step that is not of God. Let me hear your voice behind me whenever I turn aside to the right or to the left."
I have been doing a ton of thinking, reflecting and seeking as God has prompted me in my heart. I am at a cross roads in life and what I keep coming back to is obedience. Christ was obedient to death on a cross, Abraham was obedient to the point he was willing to sacrifice his son. Noah was obedient enough to build an ark in a dry arid land for over 100 years. Paul obedient to death, Stephen... to death. Me????? Good question.
a group of thoughts, ideas, encouragements from the not so manic mind of Mike. I get bored, have racing thoughts, need other ways of releasing stress and what is weighing on my mind/heart. Check it out, leave some feedback and intriguing thoughts.

Silence is Golden
So I decided that it would be best if I cut out the cable, for financial reasons, and, it doesn't hurt to spend some extra time in reflection. Should be interesting. Oddly enough, does not affect by inability to sleep. My mind still races and I still need help (herbal) no not that kind of herbal. I use melatonin. I don't know how my ADD symptoms will adapt to this new drop in stimulation but should be interesting. God is doing some crazy interesting things in my life right now so it will be an adventure that's for certain.
