A Quiet Return

I’ve been quiet for a while now and it’s not because I haven't had anything to say. But honestly, over the past few months, I’ve realized that some of life’s storms can appear so suddenly that it shocks us into silence.

Silent battles.

Silent fears.

Silent disappointment.

Silent questioning.

Silent grief.

Silent tears.

Silent prayers.

Seasons like this make me extra grateful for the Holy Spirit. When we don’t know what to say or what to pray, He prays on our behalf. He’s able to interpret the words that we can’t quite articulate.

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. Romans 8:26

Seasons like this also make me grateful that God is not surprised when we have trouble finding the right words. His Word says that there is a time and season for everything, a time to be silent and a time to speak. Ecclesiastes 3:7

And I believe it’s finally time for me to speak again, even if my voice still feels a little shaky.

I’m learning that there is power in showing up, even if it’s quietly.

Quietly returning again.

Quietly yielding again.

Quietly surrendering again.

Quietly trusting again.

Quietly hoping again.

Quietly resting again.

Quietly saying yes again.

I’m not returning back to this platform with all the answers for how to walk through a stormy season, but I do come back with this heavy conviction yet again:

But He knows where I am going. And when He tests me, I will come out as pure as gold. Job 23:10
