“...when your heart is broken, don't go silent - speak to God in his own language...”

“All women speak two languages:
the language of men
and the language of silent suffering.
 Some women speak a third,
the language of queens.”

“The heart has its own language. The heart knows a hundred thousand ways to speak.”

“If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.”

“Sometimes when we say "God is silent," what's really going on is that he hasn't told the story the way we wanted it told. He will be silent when we want him to fill in the blanks of the story we are creating. But with his own stories, the ones we live in, he is seldom silent.”

“He saw the face of his brother on Thanksgiving night, saw Jim's sad weary eyes, and his heart broke, as if his brother were more important than God himself, or God himself was speaking through Jim as he might speak through anyone put in our inevitable or accidental path, anyone who threatened to call us back to ourselves, who looked at us with eyes that reflected a heart as broken as our own, as fragile, as disappointed.”
