Here is where I think its at……….more of His presence…….practicing His presence…….12 years ago……I didn’t even know what that means…….but I do now……and it is where I get my fulfillment, my rest, my true relaxation, my refill, my energy……….the peace that truly surpasses all understanding………  Sure, we can get fulfillment from other things and situations but we know it only last temporary, then we can go for the energy drink to only last for so long, then we can go on a vacation only to come back to reality and all of that is good and fine and I participate in those as well BUT BUT BUT, God is calling us to HIM, to be with Him, in His presence, in His still quiet voice, without the clamoring of noise around us, His stillness, even His silence.  Even in His silence, we can be changed.  In our very small minds, sometimes, we don’t see that or think that is possible OH but it is……..he can touch those parts that we can TRY for YEARS to fix and perform for and yet we could sit in His presence possibly for weeks, day, or maybe longer, or maybe minutes?? and see how He will work.  He wants to lead, guide, direct our steps…….that how He does it, by His still, quiet voice……..The key is His presence and us practicing the stillness and hearing His voice.  I had a Bible study at my home several years ago and that is all we did most weeks.  We got right to it.  We got our spots, we sought God in quietness, we journaled and we had powerful testimonies that came out of just His presence!  I am going after that AGAIN!  Anybody with me?

I see in the scriptures that Jesus went for His solitude…….if He needed and find the time to do it, don’t you think it is important for us to do it?
