This line is the one I'll take with me tonight: "I just wanted to see what it was like to walk silently." <br /><br />I need to do that more often. It is good and right to just walk like that for a spell.<br /><br />Thank you, friend.Jennifer @ JenniferDukesLee.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15934656581948719407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4720181884270196029.post-32269460095694554332012-09-19T16:02:25.913-05:002012-09-19T16:02:25.913-05:00Oh there it is again, Kel.......that "invitat...Oh there it is again, Kel.......that "invitation" theme! Actually, I have been gleaning notes on that today. Hope to do a journaling class on this subject. I am so glad that I accepted God's invitation to a private retreat in Denver....well, w/ women, but also just He and I! That's gazebo time for sure. So glad you are enjoying yours!Lynn Morrisseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4720181884270196029.post-57010705902511867802012-09-19T11:56:43.228-05:002012-09-19T11:56:43.228-05:00Lynn- it has been good to revisit these journals a...Lynn- it has been good to revisit these journals about our summer solitude and repost them here. I have been hearing the same call this late summer almost autumn season... Come away my beloved....I am outside in my secret garden gazebo retreat... I barely want to leave it...embrace His invitation...in due time He will call us back to the frenzy of living in ths worldKel Rohlfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09103229343668393867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4720181884270196029.post-68579993444488598992012-09-19T11:20:35.104-05:002012-09-19T11:20:35.104-05:00I really appreciate this, Kel, and it is so serend...I really appreciate this, Kel, and it is so serendipitous, because I was just LITERALLY reading a book about silence and solitude, realizing this is what I miss so much for my retreat time in Denver this past summer. Though I was with other journaling women, unlike so many other frenetic Christian women retreats and conferences, much time was built in for personal solitude, silence, and reflection. I thrived spiritually in a way that I haven't in a long time, and realize that this "holy bubble" in which I felt ensconced upon my return home, has gradually given wawy to noise and activity. I need to carve out this alone time with God because He tells us to "come away and to be still and know Him." We know Him in stillness and silence. I also like what you did. We can go on solitary "dates with God" and discover knew things with Him about His world. Thank you for this timely reminder.
