Solitude

As suggested from many of our readings, I took some time for solitude. This ended up being a great time for God to help me come up with some ideas for my Master project. I do not think I quite have everything I need still, but it was beneficial to have this time with the Lord (as it always it).

That being said, my time of solitude did not last very long. Sure I came up with one project idea out of it, but I believe God wants more from me. Then, on Saturday, I had a migraine. Now, migraines can be very painful and cause me to go to a place of solitude because that is how I deal with the pain. I believe God was able to use this migraine to bring me into the solitude He wants to have with me.

When in the toughest part of the migraine, I always find myself praying to the Lord. Sometimes I am begging for him to not let me die! Other times, however, it is actually a good chance for God to speak to me. This is because I am in solitude and there is no where else I can turn. Thank you Lord for speaking to me in my mandated solitude state!

I am glad that in the midst of terrible pain it is Christ whom I turn too. I pray this is the case with everything in my life. However, it does not always play out the same way. God, you are good. Thank you for all you do for me.
