I always heard people say: “God told me this, God told me that”. Honestly, I always struggled with it. I would wonder: Why can’t I hear His voice?

For years, I tried to listen to God’s voice - when I prayed, when I meditated, when I read the Bible.

Wouldn’t it be great to hear a clear voice talking out loud?

Probably that will never be the case, but regardless, I kept telling God I wanted to hear His voice. I wanted to know His will for my life. I wanted to be sure I was doing the right thing. And still…nothing. Nothing and… … … nothing.

I kept asking, but I made one small change.

Being Present in the Moment

Most times, even though I was doing the thing - praying, reading the Bible, meditating, etc, I was thinking about something else. My mind, heart, and spirit were somewhere else, so I began to avoid distractions. I started being fully present.

That one simple change made a difference.

I’ve been asking God one question for years: What’s my purpose in life? What does He want me to do? It can’t just be waking up, going to work, doing my best at all things in life, and repeating the cycle. I know we are meant for more.

Figuring out Christian life has not been an easy journey. But one thing I knew for sure when I became a Christian seven years ago, was that we are all called to share His message with the world.

Occasionally, I’d share His message with a friend, but to be honest, many times I was ashamed of what people might think or say - despite having heard the verse below countless times:

Then, a few months ago, on January 21, 2024, during a church service, I had a moment.

I was singing my heart out, and though I can’t fully explain it, I felt as if God spoke to me.

It was as if I was transported to a different place. I started thinking about how, when people encounter God, they begin breaking free from addictions, overcoming anxiety and depression, and experiencing miracles in their lives.

Miracles happen everyday, but we don’t hear enough about them - I certainly don’t. That’s when I felt God’s voice. I felt him say to start sharing His message of hope and love through the stories of others. Simple as that. To document how He’s changing people’s lives, to share it with the world.

That was it. That was the moment I felt I heard His voice.

I have tons of questions, insecurities, and doubts trying to make me ignore what I heard and carry on with life as if nothing happened. But after asking God for so many years, and feeling like He finally answered? I can’t let it go. I can’t just quit. I choose to believe. I choose to trust that He’ll guide me.

So what’s next?

I’ll be having conversations with ordinary people who have extraordinary stories to tell after they have met God in one way or another, and I’ll be sharing them online.

That’s it. I usually plan 100 steps ahead, but not this time. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I know I can’t do this on my own, but I also know God is with me and He’s in control.

It won’t be perfect, but it will come from the heart.

It was never part of my plan, but as Proverbs: 19:21 says:
