Quiet, Quietness = the quality or state of being quiet,
tranquility
"Quiet" describes "mi casa chiquita" (little house). "Quiet" describes my day off today. "Quiet" describes how God desires and longs for my heart to be before Him.
"Quiet" is a word that I am relearning what it means.
It is because of the absolute goodness of my Creator that He is teaching me what it means to be quiet before Him.
He is showing me that in
"quietness and meekness is my strength."
It is so ironic,
but it is truth that God whispers into my heart.
It all started that first day I stepped into this apartment, the place I thought I wouldn't call home. The place that I knew I would just live here for a little while and soon go back to familiar things again. The place that felt so cold at first.
For now it is my home. The walls hug me with warmth. :)
I LIKE LOVE it here! It is here that my journey began of finding quietness in my heart.
And God knew the way I would listen to His soft whisper, would be jerking that roller coaster and sending me flying around a curve, into the unknown. Then I finally listened.
In the quietness that surrounds me, He is able to minister to my soul, exactly what my soul cries for... and more!
It is only for awhile that I will live here in this house.
But that is perfectly okay.
There has been a start of something new being taught to me by Him who loves me.
I have a new sister in Christ that shows me by her life what it means being quiet before our Maker. She encourages me to reach way outside of my comfort zone and find the fullness of God.
Little by little I am learning what it means to spread my wings and fly gracefully.
I have no idea what the next flap of my wings will bring,
but I will smile and enjoy this adventure with God!
