My wife, Carolyn, and I recently attended Phil Largent’s seminar entitled “Hearing From God”.  We were encouraged to build some new disciplines into our lives that will help us more clearly hear God’s Word.  For me, it was all new.  Although a Christ follower for many years, I have struggled to KNOW God’s daily direction for my life.  I had never journaled from daily Bible study before and am anxious to see the fruits of that experience.  Carolyn is at a different stage in her walk with the Lord and she offers the following perspective:  For all of you who have been impacted by Blackaby’s “Experiencing God”, you will find some similarities with Phil’s materials… but with additional revelations to help you understand God and His specific direction for your life.  Personally, as a result of the conference, I have begun journaling again and am expecting God to reveal Himself in new ways to better direct my service.
