Day 2

I got up yesterday morning and prayed for Jesus to make himself present to me.  For most of the day there was nothing.  Sometimes, I hear a song or see a movie or read something in a book that brings a new understanding or a spiritual truth and I know that Jesus has touched me.  But, I just didn't experience anything that jumped out and said "Here I am, Deb."  I experienced kindness, compassion, and love from those around me and yes, those are all ways Jesus talks to us - but there was nothing where I could say "this statement or that experience" was where I met Jesus.  Nothing that seemed to move me further along on my spiritual journey.  I pondered this for a while and I have to say that perhaps He is speaking to me in silence.  Perhaps, it's the silence itself that is where he meets me.   A silence that tells me to put aside all the "shoulds" and the "oughts" and the "list of things to do" and just be.  No doing for today just be-ing.  And that feels right.

Today I found Jesus in the silence.
