The School of Spiritual Direction is such a gift to me. I thank God for my family and friends who have and are bathing me and this time away in prayer. I came with no expectations other than I felt God had something for me personally, and for me in regards to ministry.
While this blog post will be short - all I can say is that I am amazed at the tears that continue to flow - almost every session. We begin the day with worship - devotional by Dr. Crabb - prayer - and then teaching on spiritual direction. That is before lunch. This morning, as we spent the time in silent prayer/reflection, my tears rolled down my cheeks - and I could hear other people accessing the kleenex that is on each table.
BROKENNESS - it is only in brokenness that we realize the power of the Holy SPirit in us. I am learning alot. GOd is revealing even more. Some of it is startling. Some of it is perhaps things I knew but just didn't want to "go there" with it.
There will be more to come - as many thoughts as tears I am sure. I am so thankful I have come here and see how this point in time is the time God needed me to come.
Thank you Lord for the gift of this beautiful time - the blessing of this beautiful retreat space - the wisdom of such a godly christian man as Dr. Larry Crabb - and for being able to step out of my life back home, and come here with the full blessing of my man and my kids.
Lord, I am sooooo thankful and so blessed.
Thank you Father - who loves me and embraces me -
Thank you Jesus - who died for me and rose again. You've covered me with amazing grace.
Thank you Holy Spirit for indwelling me - and filling me with the resurrection power.
O God - thank you.
God has me on a journey - and as I travel it, this blog reflects the thoughts and musings (and the odd butterfly) from the heart of a senior woman, who is learning how to love with all my being, live fully and with no regrets, embrace life with my husband,kids and grandkids, and to let God lead in the dance of life that He has me learning!
