Where are you at this moment? If your first reaction was to say, I am in a book store, or I am in my recliner, I would likely say the same thing. But what I am asking is where you are in your faith walk with God. Do you feel far from Him? Maybe you walk closely with Him and hear ...His voice in your life. Are you in a listening mode or are you tuned into the noise in your life, cluttered with things to do, places to go, and people to see? Maybe you picked up this book because you were curious how God could possibly whisper. Or maybe you needed to make a major decision and you thought this book might help.

Example: The treasurer fudged the figures. When I fail to have no time to shop for what I need, I fudge my way through hoping for the best. When God nudges us, we might ignore Him or think we heard wrong. We may do nothing or only part of what He asks and regret it later. This is my definition of fudging in this book. Butterfly Moments is my favorite part of the title. It means we are fr Read more
