Have you ever lost your voice? Until this week, I had only lost my voice once in my life and for some reason this week it has decided to disappear again. While it is frustrating, it has actually been kind of nice. It has forced me to be still and listen.
This week I’ve been reminded that the quieter you become, the more you can hear. Not only am I hearing people and the Lord more clearly, but I am also noticing beautiful little moments in nature- like the perfect, peaceful breeze as I walk home from work {you may have seen a video of this breeze on my insta story last night}. This soft breeze spoke to me like a gentle whisper from the Lord, reminding me of His presence, of His love. With no voice, I can’t fill the silence. I’m forced to listen. I needed this challenge to be quiet for a period.
What might you hear or notice if you were intentionally quiet?

That’s such a beautiful place, where is that?
This was taken in Greenport in North Fork, Long Island. It is the cutest little town!
I’m the quiet type, so I’m always listening… Or usually I’m buried so deep in thought that I still can’t hear. With a husband who loves to talk, and two children who don’t really know how to be quiet, I hear a lot (and sometimes wish I didn’t HAHA).
Haha I bet you will cherish hearing their little voices for ever though! xox
What a good point. I kind of want to lose my voice now, well not completely, but a little bit. Thanks for the reminder!
Haha, I know! It was kind of bitter-sweet and I wasn’t that mad about it :) xox
What a wonderful insight. I notice that when I meditate or ‘try’ to focus on being still I tend to be more in tune with the feelings that accompany my thoughts. A lovely way to hone in on your natural intuition. Beautiful post Chloe.x
You are so right! Sometimes, we just need to take the time and reflect! xox
