I know that I have not been a faithful blogger, but sometimes I just do not know how to express myself. Or possibly it could be the fact that I'm afraid to express myself. I do not have a way with words, and what I try to say usually comes out wrong or is misinterpreted. That's why I'm a contemplative observer.  I'm not good at verbalizing, which leads to my nature of internalizing.

I know that many of my thoughts this year have been about change and hardship, and maybe some are sick of hearing about it but this is the season I am in. For the moment. This is a time of refinement. The purpose of which I am not sure, and where I will go from here only God knows. Praise the Lord for that. While I continue on this journey, I rest in the comfort and peace of the most Holy One.

"See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another."
