Can you hear Me now?

I'll preface this post with, if you have trouble with male/female pronouns referring to God, then try hard to replace the feminine with masculine in the following quote. If you do, I'll take for granted that you weren't particularly a fan of The Shack :o) - which I loved. But, while I was reading one of my favorite authors today I was taken by her thoughts:

I try to listen for God's voice inside me, but my sense of discernment tends to be every so slightly muddled. When God wants to get my attention, She clears Her throat a number of times, trying to get me to look up, or inward - and then if I don't pay attention, She rolls Her eyes, makes a low growling sound, and starts kicking me under the table with Her foot.

...You've got to love this in God - consistently assembling the motleyest people to bring, into the lonely and frightening world, a commitment to caring and community.
