Some other days I listen to the same song play through my earphones for hours.\u00a0When I listen to the same song on repeat for three hours without thinking of anything in particular, I know all I&#8217;m doing is attempting to drown my thoughts. I&#8217;m almost hypnotizing myself to keep going like the music&#8211;if it doesn&#8217;t stop, we don&#8217;t stop. Hope would keep me moving and faith, faith would\u00a0teach me:\u00a0Sometimes it&#8217;s okay to let the silence play. Listen to it. See where it moves you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0It makes me think of a sweet verse I read today: &#8220;<span id=\"en-NIV-14364\" class=\"text Ps-32-8\">I will instruct\u00a0you and teach you\u00a0in the way you should go;<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<em><span class=\"indent-1\"><span class=\"indent-1-breaks\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"text Ps-32-8\">I will counsel you with my loving eye on\u00a0you.&#8221; Psalm 32:8\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Coincidentally, I&#8217;m listening to a song my friend, Rudy, played for me called\u00a0<em>Le vent nous\u00a0<\/em><i>portera<\/i>\u00a0(click play to listen) which means &#8220;The wind will carry us.&#8221; I like how it sounds, and I only now\u00a0stopped to think of its meaning &#8212; before it was just a repeated sound playing through my earphones, but I&#8217;m sure it\u00a0felt right\u00a0in my head for a reason. It&#8217;s soothing, and it\u00a0calms my mind which before now felt like a rapidly orbiting tornado.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are going through a state of confusion\u00a0or searching for\u00a0direction, I want to remind you to be calm, listen to your heart and have faith in God&#8217;s plan. Even though, you can&#8217;t figure out where the wind will land you,\u00a0just close your eyes and allow God&#8217;s peace to move you where you need to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes it&#8217;s okay to let the silence play.
