I need Attention!

I was ready to go to bed just a little bit ago, and I decided to sit here and actually POST on the actually night I was suppose. As I was getting my computer up and started, I looked at my puppy dog who was pacing back and forth from the living room to the kitchen just wining and looking at Ben and I....

I had just sat down and Ben had been playing the Xbox (a game) on the TV. As I am waiting to get this up to start typing, I was thinking to myself "hum, what am I going to say tonight?" I had a few things in my head, but didn't really hit me as something I saw God really showing me.

I get my blog up and I realize, huh? I think God is showing me something RIGHT now! O.P. (our lab puppy dog), like I said, had been pacing back and forth, wining at the same time. I asked Ben, "what is wrong with him, what does he want? He just went outside (meaning bathroom)!" Ben was said, "He just wants attention!" Then it hit me...

O.P. was Jesus for that short time for me to realize (well actually O.P has been this way all week!) that we get so focused in what we are doing in life, or in an activity or in anything; that sometimes, or many times, God needs to catch our attention by making it know to us that we need to do something WITH HIM! We need to stop what we are doing and just talk to him or comfort him (or in Jesus case, get to Jesus by being comforted in Him through the Bible). And the neat part to me, He'll keep this up, no matter what you tell him ("lay down O.P."). God will not rest until you listen to Him, He wants to guide you through life, even in the small ways too. I know I tend to forget that.

Lord Jesus, I know there is so much more I need to realize about this situation you place before me tonight in such a short time. I thank you so much for the wonderful evening of fellowship Ben and I had with new people we were able to met. I thank you for what you have shown me through that but also through what you set before me here as I started up my computer. Lord please keep this in my mind as I ponder more on what you have to tell me through this.
