Run Away

Your my place of quiet retreat. I wait for your word to renew me. Psalm 119:114

I decided to run away! Okay, okay just for a day. I'm up this morning on a balcony in Breckinridge, CO with sun on my face, warmth on my body and the sound of a river rushing.  It is reviving my soul and grounding me again. Love these little safe havens God created for us to retreat to when we feel weak. 

I've been feeling almost in mourning about some people that were once a part of my life but now aren't. My greatest fear use to be losing friends or family but now in my 30's it seems to be a natural part of the growing up process! Then you add Jesus and a pursuit of a pastoral degree and welp forget about it -  they drop away like flys.

So, I'm retreating for a day to step back and look upon what has happened. After some research this feeling of loneliness is a normal thing. Jesus had only a few people he trusted and confided in and when he felt exhausted by the world he too would retreat away, from people, and wait on Gods word to revive him. 

So in conclusion it's a normal thing to feel on the outside looking in on a world you just simply do not belong to anymore. 

The Challenge: 

Feeling too many pains and stresses about life?  Retreat and run away for a day! The time away will give you a new found perspective on your life and where you are heading!
