It’s a “flash mob” of writers. Every Friday at 12:01am a few hundred (or is it closer to thousand?) women pop on over to Lisa-Jo’s page to find out what the word of the next 5 minutes will be.
No over thinking.
No editing.
No extreme planning and linking and photographing.
Just FIVE minutes of writing to see what comes out.
I wrote this on my kitchen blackboard last night not knowing that today I would be writing about VOICE. I think that is interesting. Thank you, Lord.
It’s not ironic or a coincidence that Five Minute Friday’s writing prompt is VOICE.
Hearing God’s voice can be difficult.
Sometimes it comes to me as thunder.
I’ve learned that Psalm 29 was probably a song. A majority of the song describes the sounds and impacts of a severe thunderstorm. The word “voice” is an ordinary Hebrew word which can also mean sound. These are the notes in my Bible this week.
Like literally thunder. Scary, booming and intimidating.
Other times it’s a soft whisper.
Did you just say that, God?
Are you sure?
Tell me again, please.
A private communication shared by daughter and Father.
I’m in a weekly Bible study and we’re studying Psalms.
This week I’ve been reading contemplating the voice of the LORD.
What that means to me in many ways.
When I was a child and prone to nightmares, the only voice that seemed to soothe me was my father’s voice.
Not an award-winning father, (understatement), my dad’s voice was the perfect blend of stern and caring
Not always, mind you (see above parenthetical comment),
But when the shapes were crashing in around me
Triangles, rectangles and circles whirling toward me like meteorites in my dreams
I really did have those kind of visual nightmares often as a little girl
I was only comforted by his voice
The same is true today
Though I look up and listen heavenward
Through the din and clamor of this world,
I’m inclining my ear to the One who understands and hears me
My moans and aches and prayers
He catches my attention in the way only a Father of the eternal kind can do.

Blessings to you and happy Five Minute Friday!
Oh, so true! His is the only voice that matters….
I love this–I love the apron on your banner. I’ll be checking back!
Very true.
Beautiful!
Doesn’t it just blow your mind that the Creator of the universe speaks to us so personally! He is great and greatly to be praised!!
Love you and miss you, my friend!
It humbles me so much, my friend!
