blank spaces


in order for a sentence to make sense... there must exist blank spaces... ifnotheneverythingseemstooconfusingandoverwhelmingandnothingmakessense!

Well, this same principle holds for our lives... we need to learn to appreciate our blank empty spaces and be comfortable with them... we need to learn that in order for our lives to make sense, we need blank empty moments, we need times where we do nothing, we need time filled with the loudness of silence.... we need times where we are alone. We need not to be afraid of these empty spaces. We don't need to have a life full of activities and friends surrounding us all the time.. if not- we never really understand our lives. They would make no sense just as the sentence above does not make sense- no matter how pretty sentences are, it is the empty spaces that make them who they are.
If it weren't for those times where our life seems-- blank, we would not be who we are.

Blank spaces allow us to figure out who we are, where we are, and where God is calling us to be. Quiet spaces allow us to listen. Blank spaces are essential in our lives. Blank spaces is where our imagination can blossom.
