How to Begin Again?

I have been sitting here at my laptop, staring at a blank white screen for an hour.  It's a daunting thing, tying to figure out what I'm going to say here....in the very first post on this brand new blog.  Usually words just flow out of my fingertips and onto this page, but today I have none.  No words.  Which I think is probably ok.  I think so often we need to have something to say.  Somewhere to be, someone to see.  But how often do we just sit? Sit in the quiet and feel ok with that.  Let an uncomfortable silence last long enough that it becomes a time of peace and reflection?  How often, when we pray, do we quit talking....and begin to listen?  In the peace and quiet is when we grow and learn the most.  It's when God draws us the closest to Him, because He knows He has our complete attention we are showing Him that we're there just to be with Him, not to fill his ear with everything we need or want.  So today, I think I'll just leave it at that.

  1. Solitude can be a much-to-be desired condition. Not only is it acceptable to be alone, at times it is positively to be wished for. In silence, we listen to ourselves, and in the quietude, we may even hear the voice of God. ~Maya Angelou~

    Looking forward to reading your new blog, welcome back!
