Hello Heart Partners! I hope you are all ready to JUMP into FALL! Some of you have children heading back to school, or your own work will be in full swing, or maybe like me your house will empty and you will be left to your amazing pets! However FALL will land for you, my hope is that my process this past August will speak life, hope, and restoration to you!

When August began I felt an urging to study SILENCE, and sit in SILENCE in hopes to hear from YAHUAH on next steps! So, I embarked on a study in scripture to learn and discern what exactly I could glean from SILENCE! Before I share, most of you know that SILENCE is more difficult for me, as I love worship music, podcasts, and chit-chat! But, when the Ruach Hakodesh speaks, I listen, or at least I try!

So, my journey began studying what YAHUAH says about SILENCE…my first two verses that spoke life to me was from Proverbs 17:27 Cepher “He that has knowledge spares his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent ruach!” Isaiah 30:15 “For thus says Adonai Yahuah, the Holy one of Yashar’el; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength: and you would not.” (The end is where I do not want to land…as we each have a choice in this life) I began to sit with these two verses…ASKING our Father what HE wanted me to get!

So, I studied and sat in silence…Ecclesiastes 3:7 “…a time to keep silent and a time to speak”. Habakkuk 2:20 But YAHUAH in is his holy Temple: let all the earth keep SILENCE before him”

So…silent I have been, and I am realizing the POWER that lives in it! I have had the gift of staying over on the Oregon coast exploring old territory from a new life perspective! It has been incredibly life giving as the Oregon coast speaks life to me in all of its wildness!

Check out those pups enjoying HIS ocean and HIS sunset!! Hmmm foot prints all around them! Whose could they be? Well a great silent symbol to me that my STRONG and LOVING Father is always walking with me…with us!

I have always had a deep love and passion for HIS-TORY and I love LIGHTHOUSES! This summer I have been able to visit a few amazing BEACONS of light that have stood over a hundred years and are still lighting up the sea, guiding captains and sailors safely to their destinations! Maybe if you gaze at these photos YAHUAH will speak something special to you about BEING HIS LIGHT!

Imagine the strength and endurance needed to keep those LIGHTS SHINING BRIGHTLY…my own heart question is…will I endure hardship to SHINE HIS LIGHT? How about YOU?

As I traveled and soaked in HIS silence and HIS beauty I realized how much I had missed in not making my own mind and life chaos CEASE and listen deeply…does this resonate for you? I ask our FATHER now to speak HIS LIFE and LIGHT into each of you now…

Sending each of you so much love and HIS LIGHT to do all that is calling you today!

SHALOM,

DanaKae (your fellow traveler on HIS amazing journey!)
