texting.
The technology that is a blessing and a curse all at the same time. i LOVE the instant communication. quick Q&A at any time, avoiding an awkward conversation, can be done...but texting leads to complete availability. Notice people never ask ‘did you read my text?’ it’s always ‘did you get my text?’. If you receive the text it’s assumed that you’ve read it….unlike email, or voicemail, or phone call.
i text a lot. So I am venting to myself here. my texting distracts me from the people who I’m actually with, the conversation that I’m having in person. And when I hear that ding, or feel that vibrate I always wonder who it’s from. Driving today I got a text from a friend, and it was extremely insightful and I felt God speaking through them…which lead me to wonder, what if I got a text from God.
the thing is cell phone or not, unlimited texting plan or not, we ALL have a text from God. anything He could want to say to us is right in His word!!!! I guess it frustrates me that so often we want to do the talking. We pray and pray and pray, and don’t get me wrong that’s great but I think God’s main way of speaking to us is through His word.
Let me go on a slight side track about how freaking amazing God’s word is. besides the astounding historical accuracy of the different authors, the prophecy, the encouragement, the hope, the unconditional love….from cover to cover God’s word is a story of redemption. God seeking out His people. we see what God values, what God loves, we discover how things work. AND it’s like a scrapbook. Giving personal accounts, letters, the imagery of what was happening AS well as the factual accounts. Exodus is exciting, like a story, Leviticus and numbers are the facts going on. In the New Testament Acts is the historical context, then we get the personal accounts through Paul’s letters (Ephesians, Philippians, Romans…)!

Alright slight rampage….but it just gets me excited!
