Attend
What really happened? What drew my attention? What was happening inside me? Was I tired, afraid, excited, hurt, or under pressure?
The Burning Bush
Turn Aside. Pay Attention. Respond Faithfully.
The Burning Bush is a Convergence Live Lab, journal system, and digital application. It helps a person notice when an ordinary moment keeps drawing their attention.

Attention came before assignment
Moses was doing ordinary work when he saw a bush burning and turned aside to look.

Attention came before assignment.
Listen
Six movements of attention
These are the same movements the Convergence Quotient 45 framework walks: hear, discern, respond, steward. Take them slowly. Nothing here is a test.
New to discernment? Read How I Learned to Hear God.
Remember
Has something like this happened before? Does it connect with an earlier season? Is there a repeated question? Does a person or memory keep returning?
Receive
Save the exact word, image, Scripture, memory, body feeling, burden, thought, or circumstance.
Discern
Separate perception, association, interpretation, application, counsel, and time.
Respond
Choose one fitting action: pray, write, ask, wait, call someone, serve, seek counsel, rest, or take one small step.
Steward
Return later to record fruit, correction, new facts, support, changes, open questions, and completion.

- an email
- a conversation

Record
Write the moment down while it is fresh
Everything you write here is kept privately on this device, and only you can see it. You may download your record, delete it, or carry a single moment into your Mission Map when you choose to.
Where you were, roughly when, and what you were ordinarily doing.
An email, a conversation, a memory, an image, a person, a Scripture, a strong inner pause.
The exact first words, picture, or question, before later thinking reshapes it.
Scripture, an earlier word, a memory, a person, a symbol, or a past season.
List more than one. Nothing here has to be settled today.
Gifts, formation, tools, relationships, and fields of service you already carry.
Sleep, food, pain, grief, pressure, joy, peace. A strong body feeling is recorded as a body feeling.
Who could help you weigh this well.
