One of my most important things for me to learn is how to recognize things of the spirit. When I find and recognize inspiration which I act on and then it is verified for me to actually have been a subtle whispering it is one of my most important things for me to learn.  And just the power of that influence in my life is always at the top of my list of things that I want to know, learn and become.  I find that 'it' defines the word 'subtle'.  It is for sure 'still' and 'small' and rarely pushes to be recognized.  One must search for it in a sincere, feeling way.  Last night was a great example in my life as well as in Sheila's.  We were set apart as missionaries for our Innercity calling.  Since then I have been able to feel a difference.  It is subtle and still and small, but it is certain and engaging and powerful.  Our actual assignment is still future, but our calling is now official.  We don't have the name tags, but we have the power and the mantle and a responsibility.  I find it difficult to describe all of the different ways that I feel (and I am sure that I can speak for my companion too) but it is definitely real and enabling.  Maybe I can actually, finally become that kind of spiritual person that I envision.  At least I know that this morning I am different and I know from whence it came.  Now we'll see what I do with it and what it can do with me!
