Silence.
My life is quiet, and sometimes the silence feels heavy. Meals for one, three daily walks with Ben, evenings where the monitors look back at me. Loneliness lingers, but it doesn’t cut the way it once did. In the silence, I have learned to listen – and sometimes, if I listen closely, I hear God’s whisper: “I am here.”
Obedience.
I am so used to living alone I do not know how else to live, but I keep walking. I walk with Ben by my side, and I walk with God leading the way. Obedience is not always complicated; sometimes it is simply just that – taking the one step and the next, and trusting he is in it.
Stillness.
Ben reminds me to pause. He tells me when I sit too long in front of the computer. His loyalty and quiet companionship draw me back to the present. In those moments of stillness, I sense God’s peace – the kind that reassures my soul he has not left me and never will.
I may not have chosen this path, but I am not truly alone. In silence, obedience, and stillness, I find him. Until God shows me the next chapter.
