The scriptures teach us that God speaks to us in our own language, according to our own understanding.  I think that when we understand the significance that God speaks so individually to us, according to how we will best understand and hear him, it can help us see how personal and intimate our relationship with God can be.  God knows you that perfectly.  God speaks your language.

In this episode, I share how I have come to better hear how God speaks to me through prayer journaling.  This was originally recorded as a bonus class in the 40-day Journey with Christ meditation course I created.  I wanted to share it with you during this busy season when we are celebrating Christ, but it can feel hard to sometimes make enough room for Him in all the hustle.  This will hopefully help you see ways to increase your ability and capacity to hear Him.

I also share about a favorite family tradition of ours, the Bethlehem Dinner.   I created a guide you can download as a free PDF that will walk you through creating a meaningful Christ-centered evening of your own.  It includes ideas for the food, setting, costumes, and most importantly the discussion.  I share the list of scriptures and nativity figures our family uses along with questions for each person participating to ponder beforehand.  You can find it at www.restandabide.com/BethlehemDinner.
