We Interrupt this Program...

It's been quiet here on this blog. Boring even. I want to write but not about chores and laundry. I want the ideas to flow freely from my brain to my fingertips but they will not come. There is an inky blackness. An overwhelming lack of creativity and coherent thought. God is teaching me in this. All that is good here in this space comes from Him. He is the generator of my ideas. He puts my words together. Now He chooses to be quiet and so must I. When I hear His still, small voice once again, I will be back.

This reminds me of Charity's wonderful recent post about her season of wordlessness.

Sometimes it's good to stop talking.

You are wise, in the 'stillness' we hear the voice...
I understand...and completely agree, all that I write comes from HIM...to encourage and bless..

You are missed in cyberspace. But I know what you are feeling. Hope you feel His quietness complete you.

Part of my favorite verse is Zephaniah 3:17

He will quiet you with His love...

Sometimes a period of quiet is exactly what the heart needs.

Well said,Kate. May God refresh your spirit as well as your mind during this rest.

It's easier to listen in the stillness and the quiet. We will be all the more blessed when you return with what He has given you. Just praying it doesn't take too long... ;-) Just kidding... take all the time you need. I admire your determination to wait on Him!
And you will.....sometimes we have to listen more closely than others, but you will hear it.

Been there done that...

I'll miss you and be back when you have your words again!

Sounds like you're learning a great lesson. For some of us that one is harder than others, and don't we know it! Look forward to hearing from you again...

The Child's Story Bible

I have recommended the following book so frequently that I think a post is in order so that I may recommend it to the world. In the early nineteen hundreds, when my grandparents were growing from children to adults, when they were meeting and marrying and making ends meet during the Depression, Catherine F. Vos was at work. She had been out shopping, looking for the perfect children’s story bible. The Christian bookstores of the day must have had the same unsatisfactory fare for young children that they carry today. Her standards were high as she was the wife of a professor of theology and she could not find what she was looking for. So she started to write. The results of her writing, The Child’s Story Bible was first published in stages between the years of 1934-1936. It’s been republished in every decade since that time. My grandparents had my parents and they met and married and had me and somewhere along the way I acquired a Bible. I read from the book of Proverbs from time to t

A Sure Foundation

The kids and I have been nibbling our way through the book of Isaiah for months. It's our first venture as a family into the prophets. We wrestle with the message. It's a book for our times. Isaiah wrote to his people, the people of Judah, at the dawn of a long season of international turmoil. Assyria ran rough shod over the Middle East, followed in quick succession by Babylon, Persia and Greece. According to Isaiah, each empire was brought down because of they were quick to gloat over their achievements but failed to give God the time of day. The sin of haughty eyes he calls it. I brown the meat and simmer the stew and slice a crusty loaf of Italian bread but do not bow my head before I eat. It's the little red hen complex. I ground the wheat and kneaded the dough and sliced the carrots. I don't take into account that I didn't make the carrots or the wheat grow. I forget to be thankful that there are groceries in the pantry and healthy children around the table.
