APHASIA..."WHEN WORDS WON'T COME"



    "JUMBLED WORDS...THEY ARE SCRAMBLED IN AN APHASIC WORLD"

New Living Translation - Romans 8:26  And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 

Aphasia, a definition best explained by speech incapable of being spoken.  The brain controls so much of our everyday capability.  Injury of any type to this neurological area of our precious nerves can cause the deficit.  It does not compromise the wholeness of someone, it only inhibits their desire to communicate normally.  What is normal?  The average person thinks it is only one way.  God has created us in His image to substantiate body, soul, and spirit.  We all have that.  Normal is just that!  He has "gifted" us to learn and learn again.  Something "outside the box".

The National Aphasia Association explains some of this differentiation in the following link:

WHEN WORDS WON’T COME
By Joan Allen Pfeiffer , June 2009

There are those driving thoughts,
The ones you know and see.
Our gift to speak or write,
Sometimes spins and spins in me.

My brain can see these words,
They “tickle” with perception.   
I can get that first letter,
But I remain in some prevention.

Some words seem so very important,
Then others; maybe not so much.
Certainly the names of my loved ones are,
I think “not”, to trivial things and such. 


Remember, not all people who speak as if in a "drunken stupor", are what they seem. They may be "aphasic", having a "stroke", or an "epileptic  seizure".  A new "normal" to look for.  He has created us with so many wonders and we can communicate with Him, even if the "words won't come".

  1. Sometimes when our spirits are consumed by the thoughts of missing our loved ones or the yearning to purposely lead the many of those He loves to Him....I find my "words won't come". It is then, His Spirit speaks with intervention to Jesus for me. <3
