"Silence is Golden"

In the midst of a clamoring classroom or chaotic city, certainly silence seems golden and something of great desire. The calm that comes from sitting in silence can certainly be a special gift after a long day at work.

But at other times, silence can feel like torture.
-when waiting for news from across the ocean about the health of a family member
-when waiting and wondering what a friend is thinking
-when walking forward while still feeling uncertain of what God's leading might be
-when you feel all alone

I'm thankful that God comes in the midst of stillness...that he provides the grace to wait in the silence.
