Shh.
Be quiet.
Don’t speak.
Be seen and not heard.
Make yourself small.
Cower in the corner.
Become invisible.
Keep the little girl inside you little.
This is my beloved Son; listen to him, God said of Jesus.
Did God say of me, This is my beloved daughter; listen to her?
But who can hear me when I am being quiet?
How can you listen to me when I am not speaking?
If I remain tucked in the corner, trying to be invisible,
how can I spread God’s message of love and forgiveness?
God whispers to me.
Think big thoughts.
Speak up.
Make yourself seen and heard.

thank you for your encouragement.
You are most welcome, Madeline. 🙂
I say “Amen” to that, Madeline. It took me years of suffering in silence before I was able to speak up, to be seen, and to be heard.
I am grateful that you chose the path of speaking up–you inspire me.
