Broken...Your name is added and thanks for your prayers and we will be praying for you and your husband.
Steadfast and committed posted this in the poems section and it really hit home with me. I was in such a quiet place for a while it was really eerie. God is starting to put more things in front of me to do.(Leadership role in sunday school class, letting me witness to people at Smileys) I really believe that because of my faithfullness he is going to use me in a great way. I pray everyday that he will include my wife and kids in his plans for the future for me.

The Isolation Chamber
Be still and know that I am God … . (Psalm 46:10)
There is a time and place in our walk with God in which He sets us in a place of waiting.
It is a place in which all past experiences are of no value.
It is a time of such stillness that it can disturb the most faithful, if we do not understand that He is the one who has brought us to this place for only a season.
It is as if God has placed a wall around us.
No new opportunities—simply inactivity.
During these times, God is calling us aside to fashion something new in us.
It is an isolation chamber designed to call us to deeper roots of prayer and faith.
It is not a comfortable place, especially for a task-driven businessperson.
Our nature cries out, "You must do something," while God is saying, "be still and know that I am God."
You know the signs that you have been brought into this chamber, when He has removed many things from your life and you can't seem to change anything.
Perhaps you are unemployed.
Perhaps you are laid up with an illness.
Most religious people live a very planned and orchestrated life where they know almost everything that will happen.
But for people in whom God is performing a deeper work, He brings them into a time of quietness that seems almost eerie.
They cannot say what God is doing.
They just know that He is doing a work that cannot be explained to themselves or to others.
Has God brought you to a place of being still?
Be still and know that He really is God.
When this happens, the chamber will open soon after.
