GodSpeak . . . Are you Listening?

This is somewhat of a follow up to my post yesterday, ManSpeak.

 For many women, the language of men, is another language indeed. They may as well be speaking Klignon mixed with Kryptonese. At times, I feel like no matter how much I study the male mind, listen in on barbershop conversations, and read Steve Harvey books, my female mind, as divine as it is, just will never fully grasps the simplicities of ManSpeak.  Likewise, understanding GodSpeak, can prove to be difficult, however, I've found that it is far easier to decipher once one dedicates themselves to listening in the right way and for the right response.

For example, meditation, intuition, sudden thoughts, these are all ways that God, Spirit, Divine, whatever you want to call or not call it, speaks to us. The main key though, that many of us fail to add into the equation, is that you have to know the subject of the conversation. There's no point in sitting in silence, expecting to "hear" something if you don't even know what you are listening for. That's like getting ready to run a track race, or a swim race, and not knowing that the gunshot starts the race...or being in a nascar race and not knowing that the checkered flag means last lap. If you don't know that the checkered flag means last lap, you will keep driving, or in this case, you'll totally miss your guidance, your answer, because you just didn't know what to listen or look for so you could recognize it when it showed up.

I'm using all this metaphorical analogies to say this, First you have to ASK. Yes, God knows the intentions and desires of your heart, but you still have to come out with it and ASK.Then, when you ask God, Spirit, Divine, whatever, a question, or  ask to receive something, EXPECT a reply that directly correlates to exactly what you asked. Just like if you went online and ordered a product, you expect it to show up at your door, when you ask something of God, expect it to come, be on the lookout for it, or it just may pass you by without you even noticing.
