Sometimes you just want to be alone

Saturday was a busy day. I got off to a good start with "Saturday Solitude" with the Lord. Our cell group met at the Botanical Garden and then set off to spend quiet time with the Lord. Since this was the first time for some of us to spend quiet time with the Lord so we thought an hour will be a good start. I strolled off slowly to find a quiet place. I walked past the Evolution Garden and thought about finding a quiet corner to sit down. Then somehow it didn't feel right, I mean evolution and God...So I started walking again and then I stumbled upon a few huge "canopy" like structure and decided that it would be a good place.
I started with praising the Lord and thanking Him for everything he has done in my life. Then very quickly I started to repent and ask for forgiveness for all the wrong things that I have done. Now that was a pretty long list! I then opened the bible to read and came across a very important verse. Now to be honest as well, I was reading 3March in my One Year Bible because I didn't read it on Friday night! But God works in such awesome way because I had to read it that morning during solitude time to really get what He has been trying to tell me. "I assure you that you can say to this mountain, May God life you up and throw you into the sea, and your command will be obeyed. All that's required is that you really believe and do not doubt in your heart. Listen to me! You can pray for anything, and if you believe, you will have it. But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too." Mark 11:23-25
The two major areas I have been struggling with are having faith in God and forgiveness. And just as I wanted to pray and to hear God, He told me what I need to do! He is just so amazing and awesome!
Then on Sunday I didn't go to church. However, I must say usually when I "slack" off from church I feel quite awful but this time I spent time at home alone with God. I sang worship songs, I read the bible and I felt the presence of the Lord. I guess sometimes you just want to be alone!
