Learning To Trust the Quiet

I didn’t expect my relationship with God to spill into everything else in my life – especially my communication.

I’m starting to get used to not hearing anything back, but I’m still talking to Him every day. I’m actually kind of glad it worked out this way. I wanted consistency – the same way I have with my husband and kids. I asked God, “if I don’t ever hear from you would you please just be with me? A sign would be good like butterflies, just something to know you’re with me.”  It sounds needy but right now it feels necessary.

Every now and then, the butterflies show up. Nothing major happening -they just come. I took that as God saying “Hey”. It makes me feel safe, like I’m headed in the right direction.

Lately, it feels like my conversations with God are being echoed back to me. I’ll talk to a friend or even a stranger, and they’ll say something that lines up exactly with what I was talking to God about. When it happens, all I can say is, “That’s crazy you just said that!” It makes me wonder if the butterflies and these little confirmations are His way of communicating.
