What are some ways God has spoken to you?

Ma

When I became a Christian, I wanted so bad to hear from God but I felt I just couldn’t. I have taken steps to strengthen my relationship with God and I finally feel like he is putting thoughts in my head and desires in my heart. How do I know if this is God or me? How has God spoken to you and how do you know that it is Him?

I’m new to Christianity. I would appreciate your inputs in this :)
