"But the Lord God called to the man, 'Where are you?'"
Adam was in an unfamiliar place. There was a big distance between he and God that he had not felt before, and like anyone might do, he hid. I can relate. I never want to face my screw-ups, and it's easy to think that if we don't maybe they will go away.
I find it funny how God says "where are you" as if he didn't know exactly where Adam was. I ask myself that all the time. Where am I? Not because I don't know physically where I am, but because sometimes I wander so far from Him that I find myself in unfamiliar territory...like Adam, and say "where am I? How did I get here?"

Wow, I can relate.
Me too Michael... I am learning it's all about surrender... Many days of the week I don't feel like surrendering and wanting to live for myself, find love on my terms, do the things my flesh wants to do, I wish it was just that easy, I wish I could just "live and let live", sometimes I wonder if I would be happier. Heart break and lost love really just suck bottom line, but I am thankful for it no matter how bad it hurt at the time and how it has keep me safe from completely being lost and not knowing where God is, let alone where I am.
