Slient Retreat
Last weekend we had our 24 hour silent retreat in North Miami Beach. It was pretty amazing. We stayed in this condo on the 17th floor right off the beach. As soon as you walked out onto the balcony you almost got knocked down by the wind. You could just feel God in the wind it was really great. So the goal was to be silent for 24 hours straight and have silence around you. That meant no music no talking to people no watching TV or movies nothing. The only thing you were allowed to take with you was your Bible and a journal. We started Friday night at 8pm and that in its self was a little strang. A room of 7 people and all of a sudden no one is talking. I mainly sat and thought read my Bible a little and then went to bed. On Saturday when I woke up I ate some breakfast and then I made myself a lunch and decided that I was going to walk on the beach as far as my legs would take me and then just sit and experience God. So that was pretty much most of my day I sat by the ocean read my bible wrote in my journal and then tooks a nap. I took my first dip in the Ocean so that was really nice. I didn’t make any profound decisions about my life. But it still was an enjoyable weekend.
