Thank you so much for your honestly and vulnerability and faith. I love that you’re sharing in the valley not the peak. That’s where I am and just want to get relief, but God is saying the opportunity is now.

So appreciated your writing and the profound wisdom here - thank you for writing it out of the depths and the honesty there. I was just thinking the other day how silent and still things feel and asking God to speak to me, so I cried reading the part where you talk about that silence and feeling the detachment and fruitlessness of the season. Reading your words gave me more hope and thankfulness that God has given me moments of simple peace and rest, even in the midst of not being able to see a step in front of me.

It means so much to me that you felt impacted by this! I think we always assume silence is a symptom that something is wrong when really silence may be the remedy to the symptom of chaos in our lives.
