Scripture standout: 1 Kings 19: "9 There he went into a cave and spent the night."
Matthew 14: "22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone,"
Morning thoughts: Call it a cave, "the other side," a mountainside — whatever word you use, it's all the same: complete solitude. And that's where I've been for the past 24 hours. Some people recharge by getting out, being social or talking on the phone. But me? I juice my batteries by being totally and completely alone.
It has been blissful. I worked, and then worked some more. I dreamed about things I could be doing, and made steps to implement them. I got ahead on some projects. I sat and stared at my toes. I watched stupid things on television that even I, the bad television maven, would never stoop to watch on a regular mom day. I tried out these two shows....good BAD stuff:
Ice Loves Coco is really bad. But hard to stop watching nonetheless. I also watched an Biography show on Snooki. Snooki? I mean, I never thought twice about her. But with a spare hour to kill, I'm glad to know a little something about this "guidette." Hysterical:
I did get out for an hour — I went to a perfume launch party to take social photos for the paper. By happenstance, I did get to socialize for a minute and then retreated back to the house with some take-out sushi. Sometimes it's a healing act to go into "a cave" for a little bit. As long as you can come out, I think it's definitely possible to reconnect with God and relax when you're alone and hiding out for a spell.
Again, thank you, David!
His Deed/The Day: Thank you Facebook — again. I've hardly left the house today. Haven't seen a soul. Sent a message to a friend to wish her a happy Ramadan and to tell her how much she is missed.
