When you ask God a question, or ask him what do do, how do you hear him, or know what he's saying?
1, If you ask God a question that is a yes or no question (example: should i go on a mission trip or stay home and save money?), you'll feel peaceful about the right answer.
2, You feel God speaking to you through the bible.
3, He speaks to you through someone.
4, You hear him audibly.
1, Alot times you'll ask God a question. Sometimes when you pray about the right answer, you feel peaceful, and every weight on your shoulders has been lifted, then you should know your answer. When you pray about the other answer you'll feel as if weight is just being added onto you, and this answer is not from God. Sometimes you don't feel anything. Then maybe you need to read your bible and talk to your pastor.
2, Reading the Bible is a great thing. God can speak to you through the the verses your reading. Some people come up and say, 'God is telling me to tell you to read _________" And once you read that Verse or whatever, you'll feel what God is telling you. Have you guy's read your whole bible? Did you just read because you had and you didn't really think about what God is telling you. Read that bible, and really think about what's in the bible.
3, Alot times God will come to another person, and tell them to tell someone something. He could do that to you. They'll come to you and say 'I feel like God is telling em tell you ____" or something. Or they could come and give you a bible verse, like I said above. Now, if someone comes to you and tells you not to do something, but you feel like God is telling you to do it. Then I think you need to pray some more and really talk to God.
4, Now, this happened ALOT in the bible, but it's not as common now. God still talks to you audibly, or he sends an angel down. But most of the time, God speaks to someone another way. God could totally still talk to you audibly. I'm not saying it's impossible, i'm just saying don't believe the only way God will talk to you is audibly. That is not true. God can speak to you through anything. A picture, a person, a article, a video, a message, a verse, and a trip even. God can do anything.
I've never really had God talk to me yet. But I believe that one day, i'm going to need help, and he's the one i'm going to go to, and he's going to talk to me.

The Tightrope Called Life
Life is like a tightrope. I know, weird, but just finish reading this post, you'll understand.
Your walking a a tightrope. Not alone, God's there holding your hand. He's there balancing you. And if you let go, he'll stay and walk beside you. If you fall, there's always a way up. If a person helps you back up, catches you, or even if you climb a tree. There's a way, just keep looking. And once you get back up, you have God, you can tighten your grip on his hand. And when you reach the end, you'll have peace and joy forever. If you keep your hold on God and Jesus.
This came to me when I was praying one night at a conference this month. Ya'll are welcome to use it. :)

Some of my Thoughts
Ok so I know I've been not posting well, or even keeping my promises, I am super super sorry about that. I've just had so much school and other things going on, I forgot about my blog. I hope I haven't lost any readers in that time. Now today I felt like sharing my thoughts. Hope you enjoy :)
Being an mk can be tough. In the summer kids usually go to camp, hang out with friends everyday, or go do something for the day or weekend. Some mks do do that, but not me. I don't have any neighbors, camps are expensive, and I don't speak the language. Most of my day is texting my friends on the computer and reading. I'm always thinking about how it would be so cool if a girl my age who speaks English would come and move next door. That is possible, but it would be very rare. I have a best friend online, and a best friend who lives 10 mins away from me on a base, I can't go on very easily. I pray everyday, hoping to find a best friend right next to where I live.
Do you ever read those books, and you wish you had a life like a person in the book? Every book I've ever read, I've had that thought in my head at least two times. But those books aren't real, most people don't have lives like that. Nobody lives a perfect life. Many may think they are living perfectly, but no one is perfect. Only God is.
Where I live, I call it my home. But my sisters don't really call it their home, they rather be in the US. I love the USA and when i go there every 4 years, I love it. I have neighbors, foods that I can eat. It's amazing, but it's not my home. It's like a year vacation. My oldest sister is going to college this year, so it's going to be a big change to have only 4 people in the house. We're so used to moving so much, it will be a change for my sister to stay in one spot for so long. The longest we have stayed in one house was 3 years. We are similar to military kids, but instead we don't live on a base, and have English speaking neighbors, or American stores and restaurants. XD
I've had alot of trouble recently about finding what I'm really good at. Alot of people have those trouble. Some people find what their really good at very easily, and some take a long time. It is also hard for me to find out what I'm good at because the things I like, are hard to do here. Of course I'm not complaining, I love where I live, and I would never change it.

The World Without Mks
What would the world be like if there were no mks? Well here are a couple descriptions on what it would be like:
*Less Missionaries
**Kids would be much more sad
***Not as many people would be Christians
****The world wound't be as bright
*Alot missionaries now were mks. They watched their parents do work, and they felt called to do it. Yes of course there would be missionaries, but there'd not be as many as there is today.
**Alot mks are in countries were the kids are poor and there is saddens there. That's where mks come in. They go to the kids, play, talk, and interact with them. They become friends and best friends. They give the kids happier spirits and liven up the life. If the mks weren't there, their life might be depressed, and alot of them might even would die depressed.
***It's true, not as many would be. I once read a story (forgot what it was called) about a guy who didn't want to become a christian, if an adult came to him and tried to talk to him about God, he would tell them to go. He was dying so they wanted him to become a Christian. So one day a girl mk came to him with a bible, he shooed her away. She came back the next day but he shooed her away, but not a mean. She kept going to him every singe day. After a long time of her going to him, he finally let her read from to bible to him. She came everyday and read him parts of the bible. Finally one day once she was there, he told her he wanted to become a christian, he did become. This was a true story. The adults were giving up on him, but that one mk didn't give up on him. She knew that God wanted him to become a christian. Without that mk, the guy wouldn't have became a christian. Alot times kids need other kids to help them believe, but now you know adults even need mks to help them know God.
****Mks brighten up the world. Mks have ideas that are amazing, they go into where they live and try to liven up the world. Where I live, I don't always see alot of people smile. So every time I go somewhere I make sure to smile. Not a fake smile, smirky smile, buy an encouraging smile. Sometimes the person I smile at comes up to me and says I made their day. You can brighten up the world just by smiling. A smile can tell them not to worry, God's with them. Sometimes mks would go up to people and say 'God's with you'. Mks sometimes care for people more that adults can. Not usually with money, but with love from the heart which God lives in. Mks have more passion and liveliness. They don't give up, they keep brightening up the world.
God Warning: This is from the Lord, he gave me the wisdom on what to write about. ;)
