run away

every minute you're thinking, you're stressed out. you need a break. some reflection time. you need to run away from the world. get out and have some silence. you should treasure every moment of peace and quiet you have. even if it's reading a book or listening to your favorite singer, you need some alone time. and it needs to be quiet. it needs to be just you, whether it's in your room or outside, you need to be alone with God.

so, it's time to run away now. pack up your stuff and run. here's what you'll need:
  • your bible
  • a notebook
  • a pen or pencil
  • a book
  • a portable radio and cd or an IPod or MP3

now, go into your room or outside and set up a little space where you can just be free. now, first of all, you should start out with a prayer. say this,
Dear God,  Thank-You for everything. Please help me with my spiritual reflection time and peace. Amen

now, turn to your favorite bible story. if you're like me you turn to Esther immediately. so, first, ask yourself, what would you do in the situation where you need to trust God and calm down? if i were Esther, i'd be screaming my head off thinking that my own husband was going to kill everyone i love. good thing she stood up though. i don't think i'd be able to do that.

now it's time to take your notebook and pen or pencil out. now think for a second, why did you come to this place of peace and spiritual reflection. my reason would be either, i've been fighting with my little sis or my mom or dad just hasn't been understanding and was yelling at me. so, write down why you came to this peaceful stop. now, read your statement over and over again and think, WWJD? what would Jesus do? so, what would he do if he were in the exact same situation? he would probably ask God to forgive him and, if you did wrong to you brother, sister, mother or father, ask for forgiveness.

now, take out your IPod, CD player or MP3 player. turn on your favorite song. find the message behind the music. i'd probably listen Take My Hand by Lindsay McCaul. now, find the message behind the song. what's it telling you? for me, it's telling me to trust God, while pleading for forgiveness. now, grab your notebook and pen and write in what the message is saying. now find out if it's a good message or a bad message and write down why it is good or bad.

take a book out. doesn't matter what book, just take a book out. and peacefully, read it for as long as you like. isn't this peaceful? sometimes it's good to get away from the world. especially, if you're not doing anything to harm it or harm God's word.

now, how long did that take? not very long right? unless you read for a few hours, then that might've taken a while. i tried to steer it towards a 25-minute project. now, it's time to stay peaceful. for as long as you can. so, just try, it might be easy!
