PERIMENOPAUSE DEPRESSION AND SILENCE

Hey Girlfriends!
 
Where did October go?  I just realized that I hadn't blogged in quite a while.  SILENCE.  Why did I go so long?  Why was I so silent?  What was God doing in my life?

My perimenopause depression brought me to my knees and drove me to seek God as never before. As the darkness of depression filled me with fears and unanswered questions, threatening my peace I became lonely and didn’t understand what was going on in my life.  The SILENCE felt more like a bottomless pit from which there was no escape.

But then God reminded me that silence can be sweet and gentle, like a refreshing rain if I turn to Him for help in the SILENCE. I don't have to do anything, be anything or seek anything. I am just with Him and He is with me. I crawl up into His lap and He wraps His arms around me.  There I find healing and restoration. He reminds me that His love for me is unchanging and unconditional. He reassures my frightened heart that He is not going anywhere and that I can count on Him to be with me no matter what!

It doesn’t really matter what compels you into the SILENCE Girlfriend.  We all need time under the Juniper tree. It only matters that we come, learning to find healing and restoration in the silence. What does silence feel like for you Girlfriend?  Are you able to be still long enough to be silent?
