Seasons of Silence

I go in and out of seasons - just like most people do I guess. Some of these seasons are times of talking with people... Telling them the tons of things that run through my head every day. Some of these seasons are more listening oriented, where I sit and listen to tons of people talk... Hearing their stories and learning from people who know more than I.

Other seasons that I go through are often seasons of God slapping me upside the head and teaching me things left and right. And yet others - they are seasons where God is waiting on me... Waiting for me to get to a certain place, or to make sure that I'm really earnest in the decisions I'm making.

I'm in a season of silence of sorts. It's not that God's not teaching me and actively leading me in my life - He is! Oh and in so many ways that I can't even describe to you...

But it's things that are stirring in my heart that I long to talk about. Things I long to share with people. Passions and desires that have been lodged in my heart that are getting stirred back up. These things are what I want to talk about. But all the while I hear that calm voice saying... Wait. Just hang on. Be patient, my child...

I'm learning to become undone before the Lord. To be in awe.

And in this season... It is He that I can talk to. It is He that understands. It is He who created me and perfectly placed me in this time - this moment.

Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm your friend

You are my desire, No one else will do
Cause nothing else can take your place
To feel the warmth of your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to you

You’re all I want
You’re all I've ever needed
You’re all I want
Help me know you are near
