Solitude

Well this week is Fall Break for Georgia Tech. I go to go help out clearing some land of fallen trees this weekend. It was pretty fun and exciting. I was around a lot of people. Then when I cam back to my dorm, everyone is gone. And my phone actually died recently as well. I tried messaging a couple of my friends, but none of them responded, until finally tonight I found someone to talk to. Being alone is something that I seem to desire a lot because I usually do not get a lot of time to myself. Now that I actually have time to myself I am almost at a loss as to what to do. It is interesting how my mind automatically thinks of things I can do to distract myself. You know, watch a movie, play a video game, facebook, pandora, reading. But today when I finally realized that this was time that I could spend alone with God. It is the perfect opportunity. Here I was finding distractions, when that was all they were;distractions from God. I started praying and playing my guitar, and I just felt a warmth and peace I have not had in a while. Bible reading went great today, and I just feel altogether rejuvenated. I wish I had realized it sooner, that I had a wonderful opportunity before me. I am not sure when I will have this much time to just do whatever I want, but it is a rare occurrence. If only I had my own wilderness I could go to and spend time with God, but for now my room will do.
