When I am weak, unable to speak, still I will call you by name: Creator, Maker, Life-sustainer, Comforter, Healer, My Redeemer, Lord and King, Beginning and the End, I am, yes, I am.

more words of wisdom from the speechless
Okay, so maybe yesterday’s Bible verse wasn’t totally appropriate since I am not choosing to hold my tongue. But, I still thought it was worth noting. I must say that living in silence has been teaching me some things. Here’s some thoughts for today:
I charaded to Mark last night how frustrated I am to have so many thoughts in my head and be unable to speak them. He said, “Well, I guess it’s better to have a lot of thoughts and no words to express them than to have a lot of words with no thought behind them.”
Hopefully, tomorrow, I’ll get the okay to speak again and my vocal cords will work to enable me to do so. In the meantime, I’ll just be thankful for the help I have gotten thus far (my mom was a great intepreter at the mall for me today as I had some things I had to do today) and how though I cannot speak, God still speaks (and, I must say that it does seem louder when I’m silent).
my verse for today
“When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.”
Proverbs 10:19
I’m beginning to wonder what may be next…or should I not?
Tonight, Ash ran around a corner in our kitchen and gashed her eye on the corner of the countertop. Mark took her to the ER for stitches. I stayed home to feed, bathe, and put to bed Evan and Drew with no words at all.
The reserves are coming tomorrow. And, I’m really hoping to win that free handbag.
