Season of Silence
Odette
“Be discreet about your goals and progress, and focus on making things happen behind the scenes. Not everyone who seems interested in your success really has your best interests at heart.”
It’s the most beautiful time of the year…Autumn Season! Oh, you thought I was going to say Christmas? You funny. I like it too, but yeah, no, I prefer the Autumn season, and you Bloomers should know this by now.
Despite this season being about letting go of dead weight and a season of change, there is something else to add to this list. One thingthat I think everyone should do and also something that I started to do "semi." Shut Up & Move in Silence! Yes. I said shut up. And I know it sounds harsh, but some of you can't understand when people say it nice and calm. But, yes, this is a "Season of Silence". Stop telling people any and everything because some people are not genuinely interested in your progress and success. They don't have your best interest at heart. Some of those people are the same people waiting for you to fail so they can laugh. And some are just praying on your downfall, and you will be amazed who, especially the ones you consider close, are the main ones doing it.
Ecclesiastes 3:7 teaches us that there is a time to speak and a time to be silent. This means we should be mindful of our words and when we share them. Sometimes, it is appropriate to speak up, such as standing up for what is right or constructively sharing our thoughts and ideas. However, there are also times when it is better to remain silent, such as when we are angry or upset or share sensitive information that could be used against us. So, if the BIBLE tells us there are times to be silent, why haven't you done so yet?
This season of Silence can last for different amounts of time, depending on the individual. Some people may do it for 3 months, while others may go for 6 months or even longer. During this time, they may completely disappear from social media and the lives of others. When they return, they may be a completely different person. Others may choose to remain social, but they may be less talkative than usual. You may notice that they focus more on themselves and their growth. They may be working on their mental, physical, or spiritual well-being. Their energy may feel different, and they may seem more at peace with themselves. Some people may do this season of Silence simply as a challenge, but for others, it is a time of deep transformation. It is a time to reflect on their lives, to set new goals, and to become the best version of themselves.
I believe this Autumn Season is a time to remain silent. While you are shedding off dead weight and releasing what needs to be released, don't have anything to say. While you are at it, ask God to reveal your enemies. Ask him to reveal the ones who don't mean you well. Cause some of them are the same ones you go out with every weekend and make time for. But when tough times come, you will be amazed who is there for you. I'm not saying all of you, but yeah. Honestly, I think it's funny that we spend so much time calling these people friends, but you are just of convenience for them. The minute something goes wrong with them, you are their 911, but when they are better, you go right back into the corner they have you in. They keep you in, but they can't be found when you need them. And if you find them…well…gee. Evaluate during this season – I'll leave that there.
Anyway….Shut up and be silent. Nobody needs to know what's going on with you and what moves you are making. Keep them guessing. You don't know what the enemy is planning. I can go further into this topic, but I will do it later.
Happy Autumn Season🍁🧡🍂!
