I’ve been quiet.

But God has been speaking.

And I’m. Learning that some of His greatest work happens behind the scenes.

❤️ #LoveInSpiteOf

6/18 Edited to

... Read moreSometimes, life moves so fast that we forget the importance of being still and allowing God to work quietly within us. From my experience, these quiet seasons are not empty or wasted; they are moments filled with unseen growth and preparation. During these times, I’ve noticed my faith deepen as I focus more on listening and less on speaking or seeking immediate answers. This quietness has taught me patience and trust. When distractions fade and the noise calms, I feel a closer connection to God’s voice — the guiding force that reminds me of His greater plan. It’s in these hidden moments behind the scenes that healing, strength, and understanding take root. If you’re going through a similar quiet period, I encourage you not to rush the process. Instead, lean into it with an open heart and trust that God is crafting something beautiful within and around you. Even when circumstances seem uncertain, remember that this season of silence is a powerful part of your spiritual journey. Keep praying, keep trusting, and embrace this time as a sacred pause where love endures #LoveInSpiteOf any doubts or fears.

I think the sky understands us. How it can look calm from far away but be holding so much underneath. Some of us stopped talking about it. We just learned how to carry it quietly. If you made it to the last slide, tell me which one felt too real. #IfYouKnowYouKnow #RelatableQuotes

A handwritten list titled 'WHEN TO BE QUIET' in a notebook, detailing scriptural reasons for silence, such as when angry, tempted to joke about sin, or when words would destroy peace. The notebook is held against a window with blurred greenery and decorative stars, with a candle lantern in the background.
When to be Quiet: According to Scripture
Ecclesiastes 3:7 - There is a time to be silent and a time to speak If you are: 🌱Angry 🌱Tempted to joke about sin 🌱Will be ashamed of your words later 🌱Will destroy the peace in relationships 🌱Not truthful 🌱When dealing with Fools 🌱When you don’t have all the facts 🌱When tempted to GOSSI

They said I was quiet. Too calm. Too chill. Too “nice” to be a problem. Until they found out what silence was holding back. Until I smiled in the face of the storm they created. Until I said: don’t disrespect quiet people… Because the ones who’ve been holding it in the longest? We don’t j
