How many of *y'all don’t like to be alone? You always need someone or something around in order to make you happy. Do you need to play the radio or TV 24/7? Do you go everywhere with your cell phone, laptop, or PDAs.Can you drive five minutes up the road without turning on the radio? I purposely turn off my radio some times when my daughters are in the car with me so that they also learn how to enjoy quiet times. I realized that we all need some quiet alone time in order to get closer to the Lord. When we have all of those worldly distractions, it is hard to hear the Holy Spirit speaking to us and that is what the enemy wants. I have learned to cherish my alone times, because it strengthens my walk with Jesus. Our society has so many things that grab our attention and hold it hostage. Sadly many of us are addicted to the madness. Quiet time doesn’t mean you have to sit in a room and say “WOOSAH!” over and over. Try doing something that you enjoy; like reading a good book, praying, singing, or writing in a journal. Alone time helps keep you focused. It also creates balance in your life. If you are one of those people who are really needy, you need some alone time more so than others. If you are in a personal relationship with someone, seek out quiet times to help strengthen the relationship. It is good to be around people to fellowship with, but if you have to have them in order to function in everyday life, then you need to find out why. Quiet time helps to rejuvenate your spirit so you can get back out into the world and not be consumed by the madness.
Can anyone out there relate?
Be Blessed *Y'all
