A Mom’s Journey to Clarity and Connection
Silence.
It’s something we often misunderstand.
Sometimes, people see it as passive… cold, even.
But I’ve come to learn something deeply different: silence, when chosen with love and intention, can be the doorway to peace—and the clearest connection to God.
As a mom, I wear many hats—caregiver, teacher, peacemaker, planner, communicator. And often, I find myself explaining. Re-explaining. Correcting misunderstandings. Trying to clarify things that were already said once, twice, even three times.
It's one of those subtle frustrations—those pet peeves that sneak in and build up when you feel like your words keep slipping through the cracks.
But here’s the truth I’ve been learning: sometimes, instead of reacting, explaining, or defending... The best response is to be still.
defending... The best response is to be still.
Not to ignore. Not to shut down.
But to listen.
To observe.
To seek clarity, not just from others—but from within.
You see, silence has taught me something powerful.
It’s not a sign of weakness—it’s a sacred pause.
A moment of soul searching.
A quiet, internal reset.
And in that pause, I’ve found God waiting for me.
When I don’t know what else to say...
When I feel misunderstood...
When I feel tempted to react instead of reflect...
That’s where silence gives me room to breathe and a chance to hear the whispers of grace.
Sometimes that moment looks like this:
Sitting quietly, sipping your coffee or your favorite water (mine is Kangen water) as you pause to let your soul breathe and purify itself from the noise.
In that simple, still space—I find peace.
And more often than not, I find clarity.
Because let’s be honest—good communication isn’t just about speaking well.
It’s also about being understood.
And if I want to be understood, I have to first understand.
Understand where I need refining. Understand how I can better relate. Understand how I can communicate from a place of clarity, not emotion.
That kind of growth doesn’t come from louder explanations.
It comes from humble pauses.
From owning the fact that I don’t always get it right.
From sitting with God in the quiet and asking, “What do You want me to see here?”
And when I do that?
I begin to see more clearly.
Hear more deeply.
Speak more intentionally.
No mama is perfect.
But the one who can sit in silence long enough to admit her flaws, reflect with grace, and seek God’s guidance—that mama is growing stronger day by day.
Silence is not a failure.
It’s an invitation.
To listen.
To reset.
To reconnect—with God, with your heart, and with the people you love.
Mama, what has silence taught you lately?
Have you found peace, clarity, or connection in a quiet moment—maybe while sipping your favorite drink (like coffee or your special water like my Kangen water) or sitting still with your thoughts? I’d love to hear how silence has shaped your journey.
