talking with God

i have a non-verbal son. he is 8 now, and we have learned to communicate thru a bit of sign, some gestures and learning what his body language means. last weekend hubby was out of town so it was just joe and i. becuz he doesn't talk, it made for a very quiet (and boring) weekend.

as i was walking down the stairs, following my son, i wondered if God might feel like communicating with us is a bit like communicating with my son. is all i do is let God know what my wants and needs are? does he have to do all the talking? could it be that God would prefer a deeper communication with me?

so then i thought, well, how could i communicate with God in a deeper way? and it struck me that when i get to know a new friend i want to find out all about them: what they are like, where they've been, what they like and dislike, what experiences they have had, what they want for the future and so on.

and so, i'm off to find out the answers to all of these questions about God. i'm sure it will be enlightening to find out what God is like and what He has done since the world began, what He likes and dislikes and what He wants for the future ....

want to come along on the adventure with me?
