Silence & solitude is where we sit with those very real pieces of us and learn to surrender that to God. It's where the hard work is done as we settle our souls in the presence of God.
It's essential - not only our spiritual well-being but, our emotional health as well. Silence helps us to maintain healthy rhythms in life. Maintaining balance helps keep our perspective grounded in the knowledge that we are known and loved by God.
Where are you noticing that your life might be a little off balance? Work, school, family? It really doesn't matter where the imbalance is; what matters is that we recognize it and take the necessary steps to bring our lives to a healthy pace where our spirit, soul, and body can thrive.
