Well church on Sunday was great! My job is to create community...it has to every where and to some degree I find myself feeling weird when I am alone. But the sermon stressed that we need solitude and community to help shape our ministry. Ministry is just trying to copy Christ if you don't take time to develop yourself alone and with others. Wow...so the challenge was to learn to be good at what you don't do well. So I spent time on Sunday alone with my thoughts...which was a good thing because there was a lot I needed to think about.
God and I spent most of the day chatting, he watched as I moved my furniture around and cleaned, and wrapped up the solitude with a walk to the prayer chapel. It was great! I don't know why we don't spend more time doing this. I realized through this day that I don't need to hear God's voice to know His will. I walked with him and talked with him in our time together. I listened to my heart and my gut to know.
Meeting with God was refreshing and gave me freedom from fears, worries, and other foolish things I put too much time and energy into thinking about. At the end of the day I realized, again, that it is not about me but about Him. It is about His plan for my life and what He wants me to do. No matter what happens He will be there and help me through it.
