Community??
The past few days have been filled with a flurry of activities, tasks, and just daily living. As I settle down tonight and start to breathe a little slower, I am seeing how detached I have been. I am not content with myself, wanting more, just not knowing what that may be. I seem to find myself being most comfortable when I am alone. Being in community is what God intended but, being in community can really wear me down. I know I am rambling, I will post more later after I think on this. Plus, I will turn into a pumpkin soon if I don't get to sleep.

There is time for community...
There is also time for communion ~ with God ~ quiet time.
We need BOTH:)
Cindy--I can relate to you. I tend to be more of an introvert--but I know that Satan also wants us to isolate ourselves from others, because it is in community that we grow--have to grow--dealing with everyone's issues and our issues on top of that!!
God bless you as you work through this. Praying for you!
Looking forward to your thoughts here Cindy.
We know why we like being alone, don't we? It is safe. It is a place where we can explore our thoughts and not have to worry about not being accepted. It is good to have some alone time, BUT.....It is also a place that when we go there Satan can use this time to place doubt and fear within us, and we know this can lead to destruction.
You are such an excellent leader, that is a gift. When we exercise our gift of love(the Agape love that God bestows on us), our gifts(kindness, helps, teaching, etc.) increase.
I too grow restless, more so during this time of year. I get so disillusioned with people and their actions, they just don't seem to get it. And why do I expect so much out of people? They are human and of course they are going to do or say things that disappoint others.
I am so glad that our paths crossed, you have helped me realize so much about myself. I value your opinion and I respect you for who you are.
Hang in there, God isn't through with you yet! And thank goodness He isn't through with me yet either. We are both a work in progress. Love you.
