Solitude

This week, I travelled to Young Life's Lost Canyon to spend Monday afternoon through Wednesday night in "Group Solitude".

We each had our own room and were only allowed to talk during dinner and a short amount of time after each dinner. It was nice to get away from everything and spend time in silence, prayer and rest.

It was also entertaining watching a group of YL staff, normally noted to be a robust group of very social people, try to not talk as we spent time in the same general area.

I took two things from my time;
-I have never felt more happy in where I am with the Lord as I do now. I have often been 'afraid' of silence in the past as I think I've always known that I wasn't really following him.
-I was assured through a very specific incident of God's love.
