my hideaway

i love the idea of running to a place that's safe. a place of refuge... where i can find rest, and be refreshed. knowing that my Lord is waiting for me there. waiting to offer comfort and encouragement. willing to train me in ways i'm not yet skilled.

but, do i always have to be running? what if i just showed up regularly to recount the day's events? or stopped by early to consider what's ahead? hmmm...

my hideaway.

i'm safe and secure. i'm growing. i'm relinquishing not only my sorrow, but my vices and dependencies outside of Christ. i'm relishing the joy that is mine in Him.

may i be ever-mindful of my need to get away. to be still and know that He is G-d - and i'm not.

Lord, will You help me with this?
