The following posts will be copies of my journal as I experienced this time of solitude on my sabbatical. I ended up staying at the Christ in The Wilderness Spiritual Retreat Center. You can visit them online at www.citwretreat.com , a great place to get away if you are up to the challenge of a road trip and being alone with Jesus.
Day 1- Evening
I am alone. I mean I really feel alone. Its like I am having the feelings of anxiety I used to struggle with as a kid at a large gathering of people. It would probably surprise you that I still feel those feelings every now and then but have learned to get beyond them. I miss hearing my little girls laughter and talking in the background. I miss the presence of my wife. Right now I wish I was having some divine moment but instead I am just reading then calling it a night. I look forward to the walks with Jesus tomorrow. And I hope this loneliness goes away….
