Of course, it’s easy to trust God when the bush is burning, the waters are parting, and the mountains are shaking— it’s those silent years that are discouraging. But blessed is the person who does not interpret the silence of God as the indifference of God!

Amazing and timely word. Keep going. It's sometimes not attractive, it's sometimes not ordinary but we move forward.

Intimacy takes work, trust, wounds, hurts, sculpting in the dark: and that takes time. It takes more than a single chance. Of course we can close the doors, at any second, when we know it just won’t work. But there are many opportunities if we had trusted a little longer, reset the tempo, and spoke up louder: it would’ve been okay. Bridges would be built. New stories are made. You find your hand closing around theirs. They begin to traverse the folds of your heart with ease, and they learn to say those things which give life, which give freedom, which grow dreams. Intimacy is formed out of stumbling, but further down the path: there is so much light, so much laughter, so many steps to the horizon together.

I will climb this mountain with arms wide open, knowing that I can give all of me to the maker of heaven. There is nothing I hold onto because He is making me new. I will trust Him for His love casts out all my fears and I will not be shaken. My faith will arise and shake the mountains that stand before me.
