Silence is golden....really? I guess there are many times when silence is preferred; after a long day with a fussy toddler, phone calls that seem to go on and on, construction all day long...yep, silence can be golden. But that is not the silence I am talking about. I am talking about silence from God. Does it happen? Is it really His silence or are we just not listening? If it is real, why does it happen? When does it happen?
Right now I am in a time of silence from God. I question it. Is it OK to question it? God called me to do a task and it seems like He has left me. NOW....I know better!! He has not and never will leave me. But why is He silent? I believe it is OK to question His silence as long as I am searching for the why. It there a lesson or two I should be learning? Is this a time of growing, patience, trust?
As time goes on, I will talk more about Journey Women. But for now, it is a ministry in my life that is having a season of silence. I am anxious to see where God is going to take this ministry but He has not given the next step...yet. Waiting can be discouraging. This is where I feel my faith being tested to grow. My husband just said God is telling me to be silent...LOL! I think that is Jed's wish not God's. HAHA! Back to discouragement....I fight it, I loose the battle, I try again, He strengthens me, His Word encourages me at just the right moment. Have you been there?
Share with me. What seasons of silence have you gone through? Did you find the purpose? Tell me your journey through that time. I want to grow, learn and love more than ever before.
Loving my Jesus!

Great post Ronda! <3
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about God's silence. Sometimes he just wants us to sit and wait! Sounds like you're doing a great job.
Let me know if there is anything you want to bounce off somebody!!
