I have this place where I go to have "alone-time". I don't want to tell anyone where it is because I feel like that would ruin it. I'm not superstitious or anything. I just like it that way. It's just me and Him if that makes any sense. Anyways, I have grown rather fond of this place over the past month and a half. God has spoken to me there. He has revealed things to me... Things that need to change, things that need to be valued more...

If I had to think of one word to describe my time there it would be... Intimacy. It seems as if intimacy is being neglected by the church as a whole. Maybe we have failed to emphasize the fact that the Christian life is a constant life. It's a life that keeps going after church on Sunday or Wednesday or whenever. It's a life that's devoted to doing all things for the glory of God. It's a life that's difficult and always will be. And if there is no intimacy with God it's non-existent. The Dean of my college encouraged us yesterday with a verse from Proverbs 4.

"Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life."

I want to keep living a life that glorifies my great God. I want to know Him more and more every day and walk with Him always. It turns out that it takes some effort. I have to stop. I have to think. I have to look around and realize that this world can easily distract me from my purpose... His glory.

Find a place. Spend time with God. Why? Because your not above screwing up. Your not above conforming to the patterns of this world. The good thing is that He is.

I'll have to find a new place when winter arrives. That's ok.
