Have you ever noticed when you get a sense of something you have an inclination as to what you think about it?  Our original perception of things is not always correct. Sometimes we get a better idea with a fuller picture.  Sometimes it is hard to shake the original perception despite knowing we need more information. Because God speaks to us from the still small voice we tend to discount it.  We feel like we are gandering at what God is trying to tell us. We need a stronger sense of it or more information. We want God to speak to us in loud boisterous tones that will knock us off our feet.  We want neon signs or burning bushes.  We miss what comes when we gander because it seems too simple to be true.  The more time I spent on my dates with God the strangest thing happen.  The direction obtained when gandering becomes more reliable. Those glimpses become hunches and those hunches bring a sense of freedom.  But it is easy to get carried away in the feeling.  I often say to God, is this you or is this me putting this on you?  If it is what you wish for me to pay attention to then allow me another gander.   I trust that if I miss it the first time because I am not present in the moment it will come around again.  Ganders of things from God tend to be felt in our hearts but if we are closed off to our own heart because we are keeping ourselves safe we may miss out.  I know God invites and re-invites us over and over again into the life she wants for us.  He does so because he knows it is what will make our hearts beat and the light in us come alive.  It may seem too simple to lead to such a profound experience of life but complication is the human way, not the God way.
