| Like many people, I typically set goals for myself at the beginning of each year. Losing ten pounds, writing my next book, and trying to love myself and others better are all goals I often put on my New Year’s let’s-do-it list. Setting goals is good, and striving to achieve them is awesome. But this year was different. This year, with eyes closed and heart open, I sat in my Quiet Time and asked the Creator, “What are your goals, your desires, your dreams for me this year?” After asking that question, I sat. Then I sat some more, and then some more. After thirty minutes of sitting in silence, I didn’t hear a response from the Creator. Instead, an overwhelming emptiness consumed me—a jarring sense of disconnection from myself, my emotions, and even from God plagued me as a dull and lifeless emptiness overshadowed my mind, body, and Spirit. |
