I've been having conversations recently with a few people about the importance of relying on God vs. relying on other people. I think sometimes God brings us to a place of solitude or strips away that which we know in order to refine us into being a better faith person for Him.
I'm a firm believer in practicing what you preach so last Friday I took some time to just be by myself and to spend some time alone and in conversation with God too. At first it was kinda strange because although I like to be by myself sometimes, Friday wasn't one of those days. I found myself missing Blane or my sister and the desire to reach for my phone and text was stronger than I thought it would be.
In the end, I ended up walking around downtown Culver City and grabbing lunch from this place called, ironically, "Lunch." I got it to go and then sat in my car in the shade and ate. I found myself thinking about different things and praying for different people who popped into my head. It wasn't the easiest thing to do, but it was a good time for me to just "hang" with the homeboy Jesus. :)
My lunch from Lunch, haha. I had a Chicken Sandwich with Parmesan on baguette and a side of Turkey Chili. They also make their own lemonade and orange juice and their pastries looked good too!
Have you taken the time to hear God lately? I encourage you to go on a date with Jesus sometime. Hey-take Him out for lunch! ;)
"How precious also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
