He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” –Psalm 91:1
I have withdrawn. That is, I’ve taken a breather. A much-needed break from…noise. I hang out with my husband every day, pick up my kiddo from school and we read and do homework and enjoy each other, I teach every day in some capacity, and I get every minute with my newly-retired mom that I can. I text with my best friend Heather, and we’re both neck-deep in a similiar Biblical study. We volley reading and viewing and listening recommendations to each other and crochet and solve the world’s problems together.
When Lent was approaching, I felt a distinctive and sharp tug to unplug. At least part of the decision to stop blogging about books was to counteract my long-standing and deeeeep-seeded need to be recognized and have approval. I love a pat on the head and a gold star.
But God is telling me something different. Be in the quiet. Be in prayer. Study.

These are my favorite kinds of blog posts. Enjoy your solitude and the people you choose to spend time with!

For Lent, I gave up yelling. Enough said. I am tired of the noise too.

Being quiet — embracing quietude — it is so hard. Hope your soul is filled by the experience. Hope God shares a revelation, however small. xo
