Can I get a piece of that?

I love reading the blogs of a few "on-fire" Christians that I know. To hear their daily, yet life altering experiences - it just amazes me. One person in particular.....this one person seems to have a direct line with these God experiences. I check his blog daily to see if he has posted again.

Why can't I have those experiences? I'm not jealous, I just what a piece of it. The question that arises, "How can I, or can I"? The answer has a little uncertainty, because God uses each of us according to HIS purpose and the gifts HE gave us. There is one thing I can control in this........and that is how I am living my life. Am I in HIS word? Am I connected to a group of believers to keep me accountable? Am I dealing with any sin in my life? Am I constantly thinking about God in all my situations, decisions, and actions? Am I following the footsteps of Jesus? Is my path 'God's path' or 'my path'?

Some of these are hard to answer, but in all reality - I need to spend more time with God. (period) You know when you are in a restaurant, and someone decides to have dessert so you can sit and talk longer. They get their dessert, you see them enjoying it, so you say to the waitress/waiter - "Can I have a piece of that"?

The answer is YES, but I have to do some preparing so I can be ready to taste the best pie God has to offer me. I need to get ready to eat.
