Comfort with Jesus.

I love to sleep in my husband's tshirts! Specifically his white undershirts!! They are huge on me, and soft and don't get all scrunched up under you when you are sleeping.  I wear them everynight, and when he's home, he's always searching in MY dresser for HIS t-shirts.   I love them.  Especially with him gone, I feel a little closer to him.  I hate sleep without him, but I am always sleeping in his tshirts. 

He saw a picture of me on facebook in his shirt my jammies.  He wants to know if he gets them back in December....ummm NO!

I started thinking about him how significant it is to draw close when we feel distant.  I wondered if there was anything I do to find a closeness with Jesus, particularly when he seems so far away.  I couldn't think of anything really.  I read my Bible, but that doesn't always work.  The words often seem one dimensional and I find myself even reading the same verse over and over, not even understanding what I just read.  I pray, but sometimes I wonder if I'm just talking to myself (even though I know I'm not)--well I do talk to myself, but not in prayer. 

The times I've fasted I've reinvigorated my passion and love for Jesus, that I thought was long gone.  I hate to fast, it's not as comfortable as a white Hanes T.  So I don't know if I have a comfort spot with Jesus, one that makes me feel safe, and home and close to him.  But in comparison with my relationship with my husband, I feel like I should have one.

Do you? What's yours??

The shower is where my comfort is. I need to clear my head, I shower. I need to cuddle up to God, I shower. He meets me there. Every time, he meets me there. It doesn't matter the distant I put between us. He always meets me, in the shower!
(seems a bit weird right, I'm in the shower....the place a person is most physically vulnerable. Yet, that's when I'm most comfortable with the one who created me....hmmmmm.....analyze that one! :) )

I found mine!!! During worship!! anytime I'm worshipping God I feel so close to him.

and @Gabbie...yes vulnerable! I hate being vulnerable, but there's safety in God's presence, right?!
