me sitting by myself in the beautiful weather!
Eons ago on facebook, I accidentally signed up for a silly application titled "God Wants You To Know" where daily messages would appear. I hadn't looked at it in a while because, while they are cute and fun little messages reassuring you of the good in the world, I just found them to be altogether pointless. I don't believe that this is actually God speaking through facebook; however, I do believe that everything happens for a reason. God must have inspired me to check today's message because it hit home better than babe ruth.
the message read,
Prayer is when you talk to God. Meditation is when you become quiet and listen to God. You've learned how to talk and ask well. Time to learn how to listen and hear, because God has been answering you.
So now I'm learning how to listen. I'm taking time to spend in solitude with myself to seek God, find peace, and refocus myself. Today marks the first day of this new endeavor. Currently, I am sitting outside in the beautiful amphitheater with the most beautiful weather you've ever seen. I just sat. and admired creation. and tried to listen. It struck me that I hadn't had time to myself and actually enjoyed it since I'd been at Clemson. (I say actually enjoyed it because my suitemates and roommate left this weekend and I was alone...needless to say I roamed the halls to find friends or just hung out with other peeps) So now I'm dedicating myself to listening, and to taking time alone to hear what God wants me to know in my life.
and plus...I wouldn't have seen a really cool grasshoper had I not had this time of solitude!
whoop whoop go life! and go jesus!
