It's very amazing to know how God speaks in different ways to different people mostly based the type of things they do or the way they behave. Considering the life of Jesus as a typical example, when Jesus was born, God used several ways to get the message across to different types of people all over the world.
God spoke to the astrologers whom we all know as the Magi or wise men from the east through the stars, because they know very much about stars. Matthew 2:1-2 says, Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. Sure, these wise men saw a star that looked different from the regular star, and knew right away that a King was born.
At the same time, God send angels to the shepherds who were in the field, and spoke to them through these angels because the shepherds knew so much about angels. Luke 2:8-11 says, And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord
Also, when Jesus started his ministry, he said to the fishermen whom he called, follow me, and I will make you fisher of men. Matthew 4:18-20 says, And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
In the same way, God is still doing the same thing today. So, if you check your carrier, your hobbies, or anything you like to do most, you'll find out that God is speaking to you through the very thing you do everyday, and there are certain ways He wants you to reach out to people with your carrier, hobby and the gifts or talents that He has given to you.
May God give you the grace to hear and understand Him whenever He speaks to you, so that you could do what He wants you to do in Jesus name. You are blessed. Jesus loves you and I do too.
