Is God trying to tell you something? Most likely He is.
In this workshop we will explore what Albert Gaulden (author of Signs and Wonders) calls the “New Language,” a way of recognizing God’s voice — God’s calling (which is NOT “new,” actually). Gaulden’s book, Signs and Wonders, has put into words a concept which I’ve learned, lived and believed since I was a teen. Through prayer and reflection I’ve learned on my own how to recognize God’s special way of speaking to me. Gaulden’s book helps explain it to others.
Remember the burning bush? God’s been speaking to us since biblical times — we have merely forgotten how to listen. In this workshop we will use periods of journaling and discussion to reflect on our own lives, to work on recognizing the special ways God uses to speak to you. Do you feel lost, confused? Do you feel like you need to find the right path in life? It helps a great deal to learn to listen and watch for God’s signs, but it takes effort from each of us to listen properly, without inserting our own selfish desires. It takes faith.The goal of this time together is to come away with a stronger understanding of God’s presence in your life, and through our exercises you will at least catch a glimpse of what God wants for you. We will learn how to open our eyes and ears to recognize God’s message to each of us (each of us are meant to go on our own path — my hope is that you will find yours).
You do not need to read Gaulden’s book in order to take this workshop. We will be going over the main points in the workshop and using it merely as a springboard for discussion and reflection. But feel free to check out his book beforehand if you wish, by all means!
