Solitude

Our culture tends to define our identity as all the things we do or accomplish in a day.  But sometimes we just need to calm down and spend some time soothing our souls.  Lately I've been feeling caught up in all that, but today on my run I was able to relax and spend some time with my thoughts, and with God, and just enjoying the beautiful nature that I was running through.  Its amazing all this stuff I've been worrying about I can just talk to God about it and he doesn't want us to worry about anything.  It is hard to trust all these things to someone else, but I feel so much less heavy knowing that God is right there with me carrying my burdens and working out my little problems.  And I didn't have to go out and save the world or do x number of hours of devotions, He just loves us for who we are.  Hm.  And all this on a run.  Just takes setting aside all the stress of the world and taking some time for solitude.
