INTROVERT or EXTROVERT?

Throughout the summer, we like to camp out at Lewisville Lake during holiday weekends and simplify our lives for a few days, while enjoying the beauty of nature with family and friends. This past Fourth of July weekend, we had our reservation set, but Dave had to work so he wanted to cancel. I didn’t. I truly needed to get away from suburbia and relax, so I decided to go it alone with the crickets, ducks, squirrels and raccoons, and do a little fishing, just me and the Lord.


I am an extrovert, as all who know me will attest, but this past weekend I decided to introvert, and it was one of the best weekends I’ve had in years. While having Coffee with God at the lake, I read in Mark, chapter 6, that after Jesus had healed the sick, raised the dead, taught the multitudes and fed the five thousand plus, he sent everyone away, including His disciples, and He departed to a mountain to pray. Jesus was an extrovert and an introvert. He enjoyed his time with his intimate friends, had great love and compassion for the people, but often went away to be alone with the Father and pray. I can only imagine what those private times were like, and we read that whenever he returned to his friends and others, Jesus was refreshed and ready to touch lives with the wisdom and power of the Holy Spirit.

Tea & Coffee with God is all about taking time to be alone with God, wherever we are and no matter how busy our lives become. We as humans need to rest, we need to be restored and we need one-on-one personal time with our Creator who loves us, wants to bless us and wants us to get to know Him.
Are you taking time to be alone with Him and get refreshed and empowered to take on the world?
