God listens. Not only that, He just wants to hang out with us and talk, listen, be. He wants us to listen and hear too.
Yesterday, I told God He was fun and funny. I think so!
As i prayed that, I asked Him to show me His funniness today. He did!
At work in the tasting room, this stranger will never know she was the answer to my prayer, but in my heart I was laughing much deeper than she could have known or perceived. She was definitely from Jesus! Her and her two friends were young like us (Autumn, me and Jason) and fun, friendly, full of LIFE and LAUGHTER. They talked openly and made jokes, and it made my day. I couldn't help but join in and talk too. One of the girls said, "What do you think Jesus thinks about this [the wine tasting]? He says, 'Do not get drunk on wine...' " Her friend said, "Yeah, but it's not like we're living that way and getting drunk everyday."
Before I could even reflect on what I was doing, I jumped in the middle of everyone and heard myself say, "I know what you mean, but you look in the Bible and there are so many times that that's what they were doing-- Jesus would eat and break bread and be drinking wine with His friends. He turned water into wine. You know, the effects of wine just makes people relaxed and mellow! He said drink wine and remember it's my blood shed for you."
One of the girls chimes in, "Yeah, they drank wine and it's not like they were drinking it because they were thirsty!"
haha.

haha.
And then this conversation progressed to one of the girls saying she had questions for our Heavenly Father... naming one of them that was just stated with such good humor and joy. I loved it, and God mixed His Spirit with loving laughter, humor, and joy for me yesterday, including whoever else it touched.
I remembered my request to Him at some point, and felt blessed at His personal life in mine, and warmed. He likes His children! He takes personal interest in us.
What happened later is hilarious to me.
I went home after work to make some cupcakes with some leftover batter I had made the night before. It needed more vanilla, so as I took a teaspoon and poured it in, I looked down and saw a perfect happy face-- eyes, nose and mouth!
lol
I took the bowl into the living room and showed my mom and stepdad. It was hilarious and humorous to me. haha
God listens more than we can possibly understand.
