Sometimes, God will be trying so hard to get a message to us, but we, in our human arrogance, will get so caught up in the minutiae that is our everyday lives, that we're just too busy to listen.
I was just that, caught up in finishing something so ridiculously unimportant, that He had to shake me, get right up in my face and say "Hello?! I'm talking to you - and you NEED to listen".
Nuff said. Just listen. And understand why.

I know what you mean. He had to shake me up recently. But at least now I'm listening and He didn't repeatedly have to do it.
