I want more and cannot get enough. I am wondering where he will be leading me once the summer is over. so much has gone on already. This year is one of many surprises and trials. But, Gods spirit dwells in me and has overflowed me with His joy and peace. I love seeing Him work so much.<br /><br />I miss Gabe like crazy and He is struggling with so much guilt and shame. Pray that God would heal that and that Gabe would allow God to carry the weight of all this. He is tiring himself out walking around with junk that is not Hos to hold onto.<br /><br />peace and love -jess<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5131214638766800641-2860508548463356252?l=castro88.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ilovevans4http://www.blogger.com/profile/08807053293121616205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5131214638766800641.post-77069485899356745032008-04-18T15:06:00.000-07:002008-04-19T01:01:05.967-07:00<span style="color:#ff0000;">sol·i·<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">tude</span>–noun<br />1.the state of being or living alone; seclusion: to enjoy one's solitude.<br />2.remoteness from habitations, as of a place; absence of human activity: the solitude of the mountains.<br />3.a lonely, unfrequented place: a solitude in the mountains.</span><br /><br />Why is solitude important to the Christian walk and life style?<br /><br />It's where we meet God. It's where we let the silence envelop us that we hear him.<br /><br />Most of the time I think I need to be around people. That being alone makes me an outcast. I couldn't even go into a store by myself without feeling the self-conscience feeling that makes me feel as though everyone is staring at me.<br /><br />Lately God has given me a peace. Knowing that when I am alone I can hear and talk to him. Hes there.I'm not actually alone. Sandy gave me a book to read that focuses on our "desert" place that is our <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">solitary</span> place. It's made some very valid points that I would like to further write about. This post could have been better. Not going to lie. I'm exhausted. Till another time.<br /><br />-Jessica<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5131214638766800641-7706948589935674503?l=castro88.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ilovevans4http://www.blogger.com/profile/08807053293121616205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5131214638766800641.post-52471391947371043432008-04-17T15:20:00.000-07:002008-04-17T15:22:59.362-07:00God has been doing more in my life than I could have imagined!
