Three Places

besides through the Word, there are three places where i feel like God speaks to me almost every time i am there. 1) my shower at home, not in san antonio, 2) while driving on highway 59 when it is empty, and 3) the gym at utsa.

shower: there is something about the shower that is so calming, especially my shower at home because the water sprays so evenly and comfortably! when i am in there, i have nothing to do but clean myself and think about my life. those two activities work very well together because...well, i dont know why, but they just do. thoughts just come into my head while i am in the shower and thats usually when i decide to blog.

highway: an empty highway is so relaxing. the analogy of life being a highway is always so relevant. also, that is when the radio is on. i usually have nothing to do but listen. God speaks to me through song lyrics on the radio. that was a pretty bold statement, but i have found it true multiple times in my life.

the gym at utsa: i dont know why i think this. its only when im by myself that i notice thoughts coming into my head that seem to center around God. when i see people working out, it reminds me of how we are to build His body, and at the same time, help others to do so as well. building muscle is so analogous to building our spirituality.

dont get me wrong though. i am not claiming to have prophetic powers, and i am also not claiming that every thought in my head is from God. i have just come to realize that God uses those times, especially, to speak to me. and while i do not always hear God's voice speak to me, i know that those are times that i should cherish because of what i have realized.
