Where's your shack?

Jesus says that our intimacy with God is in the secret of a room. When we close the door, our God is with us in the secret place.
The world we live in is a place of pain and rush. Such a hectic environment tends to lead us away from the quietness and peace God wants for our souls. It is important that you are not "taken away from the world", but freed from the evil in special moments when the One who loves you most wants to share His Spirit with you.
It may be a coffee-break, it may be a whole hour you can go for a walk or an entire day in the weekend. However it appears to you, there is a need for you to pause, enter the shack and be in touch with the Father.
May Himself help you find your way towards the shack. Just as the tabernacle in the Old Testament, the shack moves as God has you move. He wants to be with you all the time. And He is.
In case you happen not to have read "The Shack" the whole idea may not be that clear. So why don't you buy or borrow the book and read in your quiet time? I am sure God will bless you as much as He's blessed me and you'll find out that prosperity has nothing to do with owning things.
Enjoy the reading!

It's been quite a while


I miss you, guys. I miss the idea of having you reading me, although I am not quite sure there is someone out there.
Nah, it doesn't really matter. For my soul is never quiet and always eager to give itself away. The thoughts sometimes come not from my head, but straight from the heart. And God knows my heart. I wish I could get to know it a little more.
I have learned from the Bible that we should keep our hearts safe for flows of life run from it. How would I keep safe something I don't see inside? Well, now I do. As I post the inner parts of my feelings are translated into bits, bytes, words that are put together so there is some sense in it.
When I think of writing, I think of living. Writing is having your soul breathe.
So help me God... I want to live intensely!
