Shhh - it's quiet time.

"Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest." Mark 6:31 NIV
This is the passage I was led to after having a miserable and introverted day of uncertainty and hurt and many, many, many doubts. I have some relationships right now that are emotionally trying for me and this passage gave me a sense of peace. This passage also offered me the freedom to walk away from these trying relationships for a while and rest - physically, mentally and emotionally.
I forget that the only perfect relationship I have access to is the one Christ offers me. I'd like to rest within that refuge of a relationship for a while. I find that my soul feels better, more relaxed, and I'm much more aware of myself and my thoughts. I'm able to explore the current state of my heart and hold it ever so gently, nurturing it. I needed that so much more than I realized.
I'm okay, pretty withdrawn, but okay. And thanks to some good friends who are able to ride the ups and downs of my life with me, I'll get through this pain this time and again, when necessary.
