Solitude

I love Jesus words when things got busy: "Come off by yourselves; let's take a break and get a little rest." For there was constant coming and going. They didn't even have time to eat.

These words that Jeremiah wrote are a beacon of light for me:12"When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen. 13"When you come looking for me, you'll find me. "Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, 14I'll make sure you won't be disappointed." GOD's Decree.
It's a steel clad promise for me.

I am off to a small place at the edge of the sea, on the wild west coast of Vancouver Island. I am going for some solitude where I will spend some time holding Abba to this promise. I am serious about finding more of Him.

Marking places and events holds great significance for me. Last Easter, alone in a small town north of where I live Abba took the grave clothes off of my love of writing and breathed new life into it. Much has been revived since but there are still things that remain in the ashes and the Spirit whispers "it is time". Time to move, time to be breathed on in a new way.

I look forward to long walks at the edge of the sea, listening to the sea breathe upon the shore. I look forward to taking my fish, bread and wine to some place on the sand in the early morning of Easter Sunday. I will go to greet the Almighty knowing He already waits there for me.

However you choose to mark Easter this year I pray that you will feel the breath of God upon you, breathing life into dark places, into the ashes. In that moment when you know the breathing from the Spirit, may you know it deep within you, feel yourself inhaling more of Them in the Light and exhale the darkness to make room for more Light. Breath in LIFE as your heart removes some grave clothes.
