So what if this wasn't a bad thing. What if this is a season of silence for a good reason. What if I knew I would come out the other side, and things would be better, deeper, stronger, better than I ever imagined...

What if this were just a necessary time of growing, learning, realizing?? Wouldn't it all be worth it? If I knew that, when this is over, I'd look back at it & say...that was TOTALLY worth it. Cuz if it hadn't happened, I may not have what I have now.

So what stops me from seeing this in such a positive light? Why do I always get so discouraged? God has ALWAYS been faithful. God has always grown things in the quiet times. If I'd just remember that, it may be easier to endure.

It's just that this journey has always been painfully slow. And I am NOT a patient gal.

But slow & steady always wins the race. And things worth waiting for are always sweeter in the end. Feelings that stand the test of time can never be matched...by ANYTHING.

I know it all deep down. But it's SO hard to accept...
