Messenger: Five Minute Friday Linkup
Friends.. Excited. I remembered something I had forgotten. The wonderful Five minute Friday link-up from Lisa-Jo Baker’s glorious wonderful site.

The rules: They give you a topic and you write five minutes flat without editing, thinking to much ect. Today’s post: Messenger
I remember when I had a crush on a particular boy and we would talk on the old school AOL instant messenger.
Remember that.
I would get so excited when that little messenger thing would ding. And for completely honesty sake.. That boy.. had NO idea that I had a crush on Him. Lol. I had even made up in my mind that “We ” had a song because it played in the background while we talked.
Then when I lived overseas in Nepal, far far away from my family.. the Skype sound that meant we would get to communicate would ring and my heart would sing (like how that rhymed?)
Just makes me think about the joy of communicating with the Lord. We GET to talk to the God of the universe. And He loves it. He listens. He waits. and the even more amazing thing.
He SPEAKS.
In old school Aol style you had to dial up and wait for the connection.
No dial up necessary with God . You don’t even have to say the official Dear God and amen to communicate with Him.
I know it’s a simple idea. But how cool. We get to communicate with the God of the universe.
Glory!
I love to instant message people. But you often have to wait for them to see it. No waiting with God. He hears instantly! Nice to read your post. #FMFparty
instant messenger was our lifeline with friends and family when we first moved out of the country… and to this day remains one of my prefered ways of staying in touch with friends and family!
I LOVE the imagery in this post! Beautiful. He loves to hear from us, and yes, He speaks back to our hearts! Thanks for the reminder!
So many times I take for granted the fact that I, little ole lowly me, gets to talk to God Almighty. Not only do I get to talk to Him, He wants to hear from me. What a privilege and blessing that is.
Hello to my FMF neighbour, I am sorry I am a little slow to visit. You present a thought provoking 5MF thank you! Instant Messaging – remember when that was so new and the same with Skype, what next?!
