Chatting with God

Something pretty cool happened on Friday. My Dad was singing a Christian song we sing pretty often with our toddler-brother. So? The cool part is that when he sang "shout to God with joy" I at first heard something else.

"Chat with God". Wow. The idea sort of struck me. The word "chatting" implies something casual, everyday talk about this and that. And I was like "Wow, we really can chat with God, can't we?" We can tell him about all those small things that bother us, the little joys, the everyday problems and triumphs. We can tell Him about that soccer game we won in P.E. or how we get tired of going to the dentist's or how we failed on that test or got an A on the research paper. We can tell Him how that teacher always gets on our nerves or how we had a fight with a best friend.

Yes, He already knows it all. But do you really think He doesn't want to hear you say it, doesn't want to see you asking help from HIM and sharing your joys with HIM, not your friends down the gossip chain? He's there in the big things and He's there in the little things.

  1. perhaps I need to spend more time with God. I want to show the world God's love, but I have a addiction to secular ( mostly country ) music I can't get enough of secular music albums all I seem to listen to is garbage and I admit it is not good music. I KNOW YOU DON'T KNOW ME BUT I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR MAKING SUCH A BLOG LIKE THIS. It is encourgaing to me. I am a mentaly disabled 16 year old boy that has been bullied one to many times, had a bad relationship with a fellow christain girl that ended with the girl's employer ( i used to meet her at her workplace for HW help ) claimed i was posting obscence garbge on the interent to this girl stuff that she ( the girl ) knows I would never post but I know who might have posted it. Between false accusations of harassment by a angry employer and a buncha classmates bullying me, I can get excessivly depressed. I think should ask God to help me with all my problems. I know most likely Jesus will not come down from heaven and strike my enimies with a lightning bolt ( I realy do wish God would strike the folks that bully me dead sometime ) but at the least I believe Jesus will help me get thru all of this mess and let all these mental wounds of bullying heal. Oh Sofia, how I wish Jesus would come back soon and take me home. I wish that Jesus would just come take me home and make my pain go away for good. God bless you for making such a impactful blog

  3. Evan, I will be praying.
    There is a radio - klove - that only plays Christian music. They are even having a 30-day challenge to only listening to Christian music. And they support you all the way. I haven't done it yet, but maybe I should. http://www.klove.com/ministry/30-day.aspx.
    I am immeasurably glad God used me to help you in some way.
    Blessings!

    1. I used to be listening to klove but i stopped a while back cause they play too much Christian pop , and i realy don't like the pop genere. As much as I like country music, I can't even stand country pop. pop/rap style of music is realy not my favorite. plus the fact that the only Christain songs I even liked on klove are " ruined " from being overplayed. plus the fact that tops it all off is that klove is the favorite station of my ex and that is one of the worst thinkgs about k love , the fact my ex loved the station. And since I am trying to get my ex out of my lifei realy don't feel like hearing her favorite songs on the radio. It is as if certain songs on klove she used to sing to haunt me with bad memories.

    3. If you want good christian music search up Josh Turner on the internet. His music is a kind of blend between country and christian. My brother has been play the Chris Tomlin song 10,000 Reasons on his violin at church. I am from a musical family and the fact is though it happens that being disabled has kept me from being a good musician , I still write music all the time. It is clear that my gift is poetry/songwritting.

  4. I don't know much about music but enjoy songs like Testify to Love by Avalon and You're not alone by Meredith Andrews along with 'harder' music. Everyone has their one tastes. :)
