I just want people to know how important it is to be able to discern their own internal thinking from what God is telling them. I've learned to trust Him. When I hear him speaking I listen.
When we went to Bonnie's wedding in 2005. We took Bill and Trecia out to dinner & were taking them home. We were on the Dames Point bridge when God told me to go back home to Otter Springs, a 2 1/2 hour drive. This meant we wouldn't stay at the hotel room we reserved or be able to attend the wedding. We went to the hotel and picked up our luggage and drove back to Otter Springs.
We had left our property in the care of our manager so we could attend the wedding. We would not allow hunting on our property. We wanted no harm to ever come to the deer, possums, armadillo, squirrels, wild boars, turkey and all of God's creatures who lived on our 880 acres. When we bought the property in 2003 we planted peach trees, grapes, pear trees, acres of blueberries blackberries, and so onso that we could share with our neighbors. We established an area for people to put in their own gardens with water available. We tried to create a garden of Eden so that the whole community could share in God's abundance.
When we got to the office at Otter Springs the manager was in a company truck. We stopped. He said You won't believe what happened! My son-in-law killed a deer at a hunt camp and brought it in for him to dress. I still didn't put 2 and 2 together. The next day, Monday, he was not able to come to work. Arnold was on an excavator and I was on a tractor. This was during the hurricane season. We were providing places for people to live. Arnold was digging trenches and I was filling holes behind him. As I looked across the field I hear God say That deer was killed over there. That evening we went to Walmart. Brad said Miss Gerri, the other day the manager called us and said you were gone for the weekend and to come hunt deer.
When we got back to OS a woman who was staying there because their home had been destroyed stopped us. She said that when the manager was out hunting her little boys wanted to join them. So that was twice in one day. The next day the manager's daughter called to say she was so sorry that she was here when the deer was killed.
When you talk to God all the time you just know the difference between your own thoughts and his voice.
