Actively Retreating

for the first time in a long time, retreat felt like an actual retreat,

away from the troubles of "home",

while reminding me of my true home being prepared by my most intimate lover.

as I am back and already feeling the creeping whispers around me,

I hold fast to this gracious calling:

"They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ." - Acts 5:40-42.
