Solitude

Being alone is not something I usually seek out. It is actually one of my biggest fears. If you know me at all you know I put a lot of time and energy into the people around me and find a lot of my worth in their image of me. But recently I have been learning the importance of solitude. And I think I'm going to start taking more time to be by myself. Its been good for me to be able to take some time to collect my thoughts and pray through things. Just me and God. If you pay attention you can see times when Jesus took time to be by himself and pray, to be with his father, and to seek his fathers example; one example is in the garden right before he was crucified. If he took time to be alone with his father and seek his council why do I think I have to be constantly surrounded by people and busyness. It was in these times he spent by himself he was able to be filled and align himself with his fathers will. This is how it is when I am able to be alone. I have a chance to collect my thoughts, pray, and seek the Lords council. In any relationship it is important to spend time with the person and know what is going on with the other. I look forward to moving forward in my relationship with Christ. He is stirring in my life I need to just soak him in and align myself with him. I'm finding as I learn more about Him I learn more about myself. Which is really cool.
