But when our questions are invisible, we become invisible.
Each time I am still, they emerge: my questions.
Quietness resurfaces the thoughts and questions that are important.
Quietness connects my soulful self to Jesus.

Leaving some whitespace here this month as I rest with Bonnie.
I’m reading and writing on a chapter a day.
In the stillness,
Sandy
This post is part of the “Finding Spiritual Whitespace Blog Tour” which I am a part of, along with a group of soulful, journeying kindreds. To learn more and join us, click here.
Bonnie includes a section at the end of each chapter where she asks soul-probing questions and gives whitespace prompts. Her questions for today’s chapter:
1. When you are stressed, are you more comfortable being alone rather than being alone with God?
2. What keeps you from quietness?
Welcome to the Still Saturday Community where we pause after a busy week, move in quiet pilgrimage, maybe linger a while in some still place, and soak in the beauty of images and reflect on the depth of sparse words. We’d love for you to join us. Grab the button and link up below. We all love to hear if something especially speaks to your heart, but please don’t feel pressured to comment. Simply take some time to gaze long and drink deep.

I have so been blessed as you share from Bonnie’s book, which is on my summer reading list & I cannot wait to read. Today you made me realize … it is in my questions before Him that He makes Himself visible to me. Every question points to the Answer, Him. It is in Him that all my questions will find their answer. Somehow, this makes the questions much more bearable this morning. Thank you! Have a blessed Sunday!
