When have you been aware that your life energy was directly being used by God?

This question was brought up by Connie at prayer group this morning.  And follow up question to it was "What did that tell you about the gifts God has given you"

     I struggled with answering this because I couldn't think of an answer. I thought about how I spent a lot of time with my nieces listening and just being with them but besides that??

So then I started thinking about my God given gifts and thought how it relates to what I have been contemplating on lag couple days.  I really need to spend some time in prayer to come up with what they are because I can't take them. I feel like once I name those gifts it will help me discover the next step I am supposed to take.  I know it has to be something creative, something with nature, something independent, free schedule wise.
