Silence and Solitude

Last night at Refuge we talked alot about being silence and listening to God. Listening to what he has to say to us. At the beginning of Refuge everyone one was talking and it took along time to start the night which that normal doesn't happen. So this was a good lesson for alot of us becuase it involved us being quite and having to listen and answer questions. There were alot of questions that we were given and they were really good ones. They made me really think of my life and my relationship with God. The questions that were asked are.
-Do you have a hard time being quite?
-What are the noises in your life?
-Do you have the power to remove the noises?
-Do you have the power to controll the noises?
-Do you have the power to minamizs the noises?
-Do you have time in your day to be silent with God?
-Is it possible that God speraks to you all the time?
-When you are troubled with things who do you go to? God or Others
-What is the longest time you spent in silents?
-Are you afraid of being alone with God?

These really spoke to me because in my day day time I don't make time to listen to God or to be in slience with God. I left last night really thinking of my life and what I tend to do on my spare time and not once could I think of my time being with God in silence. I think that really suck because I want to spend every moment with God. Here are some scriptures that we all read last night.
-Deuteronomy27:9
-Psalm4:4
-Habakkuk2:20
-Matthew11:28
-Psalm46:10
-1Kings19:9-13

What a good lesson this was for me. I really learnt alot of this and I am ready to what God wants me to do. I will listen to him and be silent with him.
God Bless
