Solo

So spending 24 hours alone in the woods is amazing. I recommend it. For the first 6 hours I was not allowed to read or journal. So ... I dug up rocks with a stick and build a tower out of them. That took all of about 2 hours. Then I ate my lunch. Then I watched ants crawl across the top of my tent until I fell asleep. Matt woke me up to tell me that I could read my Bible. So I did that for a few hours till he came back with dinner and a lighter for my fire. I spent the rest of the evening stoking my fire and reading God's word. Awesome evening. Then I went to sleep in my tent and woke up to Matt calling my name telling me that I could come with him to get the others and eat breakfast. It was a pretty cool 24 hours. What I left in the woods: me, and my desires to please myself and others, and my worry about what they think of me. What I took out of the woods: God, and a desire to please Him and to do everything for Him with a servant's spirit.
