Thanks so much Julia for the good read. I had bookmarked it but had forgotten about it already :(. This is so good because it was a struggle that I had to confess with another brother and he helped me sort out my thoughts and said very similar things as this article. Thanks for sharing ! See you soon!

Thanks for the share, Julia! This Bonhoeffer quote from the article hit very close to home:

"Whoever cannot be alone should be aware of community. Such people will only do harm to themselves and to the community. Alone you stood before God when God called you. Alone you had to obey God’s voice. Alone you had to take up your cross, struggle, and pray, and alone you will die and give an account to God. You cannot avoid yourself, for it is precisely God who has called you out. If you do not want to be alone, you are rejecting Christ’s call to you, and you can have no part in the community of those who are called."
