A Year in Solitude. Sometimes in life you get knocked sideways. Obviously, these are never planned. We plan for so many things and sometimes these plans work out. Sometimes all that we dream of comes through. And other times? You wonder what happened. How did I end up here? Where did I make a wrong turn? There are parts of my life where I felt like I made a wrong turn. That things were not going the way I had imagined it.
Yahweh Got my Attention
What do you do then? One would think that I would have turned to the God that I believed in. I didn’t. Because in my heart at the time, I felt that he wasn’t very concerned about me, so why bother? But there comes a time when Yahweh decides enough is enough. He decided that he needed my attention and so he knocked me sideways, spiritual tap so to speak. And he got my attention. For the record, this was not easy. It isn’t easy. I had to make a choice. And when I realized that the life I wanted would never happen unless I listened to the one who made me, I made the choice to be with him.
One Year. Solitude. So much harder than I thought it would be. But also so much easier than I thought. I am sharing this journey with you. And as funny as it may seem sharing a year in solitude with others, that’s exactly what I was called to do. I am sharing my story, on this page, on Facebook and on Instagram.
From Private to Public
Yahweh called this intensely private person to share in a very public way, but when Yahweh called, I had to answer. I had to move past my personal fears and I truly saw times when Yahweh gave me faith to step forward despite my fears and times when he removed my fear completely. He desires that I trust him in this journey of solitude. I pray that you are able to find him and take the time with him also.
