Time for a Change!

I've decided to do something.

Clearly, I don't write in here consistently. Nope. But I want to write here consistently...I just don't always know what to write, so I've decided something.

EVERY:
Monday- I'll post a quotation from a book (I'm probably currently reading)
Tuesday- I'll post a picture of a Zentangle I've drawn 
Wednesday- I'll post a prayer
Thursday- I'll post a poem
Friday- a little teaching wisdom (or experience, or mistake; etc.)
Saturday- Bible verses
Sunday- a hymn/worship song I sung at church

Why? Lately, I've been thinking a lot about silence because even though working two part time jobs enable me to have all the alone time, I have heard almost too much of silence, I don't know what to do with it anymore. It frightens me when it used to calm me. I've decided that this needs to change--I need to re-friend silence.

I also need to remember that just because I'm surrounded by noise doesn't mean I have to try to block it out. That's a lot of people and things I ignore- what if I ignore the ones who need me? The ones I need?

I don't post a lot of deep, profound posts that'll make you question your origins or foundation, or political stance. I don't post stuff that'll make you want to recycle all your toilet paper rolls into DIY wall decor. I don't post stuff that'll make you want to ditch your diet. But, I only know how to do the above.

I know it's not Saturday yet, but bear with me here:

Psalm 65.8b, "You make the going out of the morning and the evening shout for joy." 

Today was my first full day in a long time- a regular 9-5 day- I heard little silence, but when I saw the sunrise and sunset, while I didn't hear shouts of joy, I wanted to. In silence, or in sound, I want to hear joy, during the morning and evening, and all the betweens. I want to hear God. Hopefully, this weekly endeavor for my blog will help me hear better.

We'll see.
