Finding Solitude

Day 4 of life after Surbana. I spent 3 months, waking up at 6.45am and taking the bus 961 to office every week day. I spend approximately 10 hours in an office filled with people. Even so, sometimes, or even most of the days, I'll pack every night with meet ups after meet ups. I thought I found Solitude in God in the little pockets of time that I had while travelling and at my work place. 

Its been 4 days since my last day of work. Been prepping bible study notes with fiona and my sister next to me. In those moments, I subconsciously thought that, hey I'm finding solitude in God again. I guess I was wrong. I realized that that wasn't solitude because I was still surrounded by people. 

It was only yesterday, after lunch with my cousin, that I had huge pockets of time like 2 hours to spare before the next errand to run. I got a little bit jittery, a little bit lost, in a sense that, I had no one to talk to physically (now its worse that I'm having a really bad and random sore throat) but to jot down my thoughts in my notebook or to read my book. It was a little but uncomfortable at first but after awhile, I got a little bit more used to it. 

Now that I am semi-mute, I can't communicate much with people. Now that the new semester in NUS has begun and a few friends who already flew off for exchange.. the replies become a litle bit slower and slowly there are no notifications appearing at your homepage. It's weird. I'll just be really honest here, it is uncomfortable but I know that this process is really necessary because I need to learn how to find solitude in God. 

In fact I want to be okay with being alone with God. I want to stay on my lane alone with God. I want to learn how to find soltitude in God. I want to come to a place where I understand the concept of my eternity in heaven. 

I would like to come to place where I don't need anyone else but Jesus. I think I can't achieve this in like 1 week but I guess it takes a lifetime for to truly understand this. 

And when I come to die 
When I come to die
When I come to die 
Give me Jesus

life goes on

Like an echo in the forest 하루가 돌아오겠지 아무 일도 없단 듯이 Yeah, life goes on Like an arrow in the blue sky 또 하루 더 날아가지 On my pillow, on my table Yeah...
