Don't know why really, but I have been in a season of cyber-silence as far as blogging goes. I have heard from more experienced bloggers than myself that we all go through these times. Times when we don't feel much is worth putting on the blog. Or that we just need to be silent for a while. It has been over a month since my last post. Many things have happened since then, and I have had many good ideas about writing on the blog. I just couldn't bring myself to write.
That is ok though. It resembles life. We all go through seasons in life. Sometimes we go through "energetic" seasons where it seems like we are being more productive and useful than we ever have been. Sometimes we go through sad seasons, where life just seems to be colored with darker things in life. This is the winter of the soul. And sometimes we go through silent seasons. I guess thats where I have been. Not sure why.
I will try to be less silent. But, I don't know that I will, for I don't know if this season is over yet.
My personal season reminds me of the season of advent we are in. It must have seemed to many in Israel that God was silent for all those years. Sure, you had a few prophets preaching for God, but in a span of that much time, many probably lost hope of hearing from God in any meaningful way. And then there was the baby Jesus. He sure knows how to break the silence.
Merry Christmas to all of you.

I understand the season. Let the silence speak what you need in it. Glad to read your words again, but if you need more time, take it.
Peace
