You ARE communicating with the Almighty, or rather He's communicating with you. I've experienced similar communications many times. I've come to believe such communication goes on constantly with everyone and that it is quite common. People listening, acknowledging and accepting the guidance, however - that's not common at all.
I can attest to that as well. Always leaves me in awe of Him and a great deal of gratitude.
But I do think there’s an ongoing communication as we think and go about our day...we just aren’t quite as aware as we’re occupied.
