I h...I've been in a cave and happy I came out. I had to come out, however, in my own time. The difference between our caves is that my cave was not self-imposed. While I was there, I confronted some places in myself that needed to be seen in the cave and then brought into the light of day - or reality! <br /><br />I fully support and deeply love you in the cave or out. If I need to enter the cave with you for lunch or coffee or just a chat it is high time I did that. If I need to help call you out for that lunch or coffee or chat I will do that, too!<br /><br />In the meantime, I hope a still small voice has entered the cave and started a rumble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777056209430027521.post-33282873778567432072010-05-12T18:02:01.605-07:002010-05-12T18:02:01.605-07:00Well, thank God for the cave. You needed it. This ...Well, thank God for the cave. You needed it. This restless feeling may be the first indication that you are ready to move on to something else. I know no other sources of wisdom and discernment than the classical disciplines of the faith: prayer, Scripture, worship, service, and so forth. There have been so many times when I felt dead inside, and the Scriptures called me back to life... It can happen. I know of no formula. I find that I must open my life to the means of grace - or maybe to the one I'm currently neglecting - and in some mysterious way I cannot predict or control, God breathes life to me again.Craig L.

It is rather personal that you would share you feel like you are hiding. I never would have thought that. Thank you for sharing that. <br /><br />At some point, those in the cave begin to believe that reality is the shadow on the cave wall. It is my hope that you do not forget there is a light that is beyond the cave that creates the shadow. It is the light that is Reality. <br /><br />I continue to pray for you and miss seeing you around. Keep keeping on and know your willingness to walk through this and do the hard work, (which many of us avoid in our own lives) is a good example.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419724886603944567noreply@blogger.com
