Silence and Hope

What happens when a blog goes silent for nine months?

Whispers start.

• Did he close up shop?
• Did the words not flow / the cistern ran dry?
• Or did life just get too loud?

And if you caught my last few posts, you might have even wondered: Is Bryan doing alright?

In my absence, my family and I have discovered healing. Healing that can only come from plugging into a local body of believers. Sitting / soaking under solid teachers who exemplify what a healthy church looks like.

Together, we have made a conscious decision: we aren’t going to stay stuck in the past. That is not to say that I do not have days where the past suddenly comes back with a vengeance. But I am choosing not to hold on to it. To let God speak in those moments. Realizing that yes, there is past hurt but there is so much more hope in the present.

I am doing good.

Still reading the Bible and other books.

Still playing the video games.

Thankful that my family and I discovered Mobberly Baptist Church. Where we became members this past Sunday!
