I went for a run at a nearby park. A half mile from the car I finally untangled my earphones and tried to turn on music. No sound. Opening the back of my MP3, I discovered – no batteries! Too far to turn back now, I kept on in silence. Usually don’t like to hear myself breathe. Interesting… miles of silence. I prayed and cried. Today, my heart is overwhelmed. So Many thoughts coming fast. Our son has had a revelation that God Can for him, a huge turning over of his will. My thinking slowed with my pace and I marveled at God’s faithfulness. It was refreshing and soul-lifting. As I left, I kept the silence and waited for God’s impression. This is a journey, one day at a time and yes, I can for him.
Noise
Noise surrounds us day by day
Say to the silence, it’s ok
Turn off the sounds, listen to breath
run for a while in silence.
Sit alone, don’t be afraid
Look more carefully at what God made
Take a walk, slow it down
Take your walk in silence.
Ask your questions, state your mind
Think a minute, listen a while
Wait for answers He’s waited to give
Find your peace in silence.
Noisy noise, too much sound
Search for quiet til it’s found
Treasure rare is waiting you
Spend some time with silence.
