White Space

I learned about a year ago about white space. (That time in your day in between the things that fill up life that you take to spend time with God. Kinda like the space between the lines on a page in a book.) Well, white space in my day, week, month, anywhere is not exactly my strong point. I don't seem to take that time to spend in between with God. To sit, listen, be still and learn. I mean my quiet time does happen, generally, but to really take more time to reflect and focus just doesn't really happen. Well, today I realized that I had nothing to do. At all. No friends to see, no people to talk to, no work and no homework. I found myself in a state of panic. I never have days like this. I didn't know what to do. Should I call someone? Try to find something to keep my busy? Go on a bike ride? Lunch? Dinner? Anything as to not have to be alone all day.

Then it hit me...White Space. God needed me to have this time, white space...nothing there in between the craziness of work, church and life. I needed this time to learn, grow, reflect and rest. That is what I did. I finished a book today. (Well, I read 3/4 of it today.) It was awesome. This book helped me to change my focus on life, relationships and God. I have come to realize that God has me here where I am for a purpose and a reason. This is something that He has been working on for a while now. I have realized that I need to work for Him and the cause that He has given me passion in. I am ready to step out, take a leap of faith and trust and grow that faith. I have asked God to Rock me this year. To Rock my world, grow me and use me in amazing, new ways. I am excited.

White space is definitely awesome!!!
