revelation: when God speaks

I know that revelation is one of the most important things that I've got to understand, but to be honest, I still don't get it. 

Sometimes I feel like I'm pretty crazy, listening to and giving so much credit to impressions and feelings like they have as much validity as advice from an old friend or a sound scolding from my mother.  Making decisions based on voices in my head or that sickening sensation that something isn't suitable.

But when it happens (and I actually recognize it, which is another challenge all together), I find myself stepping into the dark and doing something crazy.  

After all, the Holy Ghost doesn't usually tell me to do the most logical of things.  If He did, there'd be no point for Him to say it in the first place.  I'm a smart girl.  I can figure out logical.

But Spiritual.  That's the tough one.

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." -Isaiah 55:8-9

And thank heaven that's the case.

Remembering this is the hardest part.  It's like remembering to pull the emergency strap of your parachute when the regular one doesn't work.  Careening out of control and to your death, it's hard to revoke that memory from the safety video watched just before the jump.
