Silence really is golden.

Ever since going to the seminar that Matthew Kelly taught I've been reading bits and pieces of the bible. Loving every minute of it and realizing that its a rather interesting book. And realizing how important it is to sit in silence.

So today, like any other day I got up, got ready and drove my normal twenty miles to work. When I thought to myself "If I shut off the radio can I hear God"

And that's exactly what I did. I shut off the radio and began to have a conversation with God. As at this point in my life, relationship etc I had a lot of questions, frustrations and I needed to get it out. And who better to listen. 


As I drove I talked, listened then sat in quiet. Trying to let my mind not wander. When suddenly Romans 26 popped into my head. I was like "Really? It's that easy?" I said "Ok God, I'm almost to work, when I get to my desk I'll look it up and read what you have for me."

Now some of you might be thinking "How does she know it was God, and she didn't just make that up?" Easy answer, I haven't read the bible and I really only know of Genesis and the Gospels. So it HAD to be God.

I finally get to work, turn on my computer and type, "Romans 26." Google gives me all these links, but not Romans 26. So I then Google how many chapters in Romans? Google tells me 16...


I look up towards the ceiling, start laughing saying "Funny God, real funny! I'm a bible rookie and you decide to tease me right out of the gates!" 

Finally I realize he meant Romans 2:6 which reads "God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”

I didn't really know what to think of that. Except that, that had to have been the coolest thing ever.
