Screaming so quietly

What is normal?  To each person "normal" could be what they live in or grew up in.  There is a different standard if you will on which each person measures what it is to walk in what is normal.  To me normal is getting up, getting ready for work and driving, the same route, expecting the same things of work as the week before.  The list can go on and on.  Have you ever had that notion that what is normal may not be true?  If I am color blind, (which I'm not and I'm not poking fun at anyone who is) but that doesn't change that the color is actually there, regardless of my perception.  We have things that are screaming so quietly at us, telling us what is normal, it pushes us, pulls us. 

Could it be that what is meant to be normal, is actually experiencing and knowing God?  Our feelings can lead us around like a dog chasing a squirrel that he just can't catch.  Focus on what you know, not what you don't know, for some reason we have come to the conclusion that we can think things out and make them reality.  What if reality is looking at us right in the face and God is saying, "Let me remove the stray thoughts and distractions from your mind, and listen".    May God define our normal today.
