A Retreat Journey

I am about to embark on a journey of a lifetime. It is not metaphorical. I will be traveling over 6,000 miles, from the west coast of Ireland to the west coast of the US. The trip will take about 19 hours.

Why? Because I heaven has invited me to a special house in the mountains to minister to Jesus. Yes, I can do that here at home. But place has significance. And this place is holy.

So I’m almost all packed, and eager to discover deeper places of His heart. If it seems appropriate, I will share some of it here.

In the meantime, I am singing a little chorus today, “Oh Jesus, I surrender myself, take care of everything, Lord.” And I know He will.

Choose Humility

 I can think of no greater reason to choose humility above all virtues than this: 

To be His resting place, His home away from home, where He feels loved and understood.  

This is my greatest desire.  

Didn’t St. Francis say, “that I may seek to understand rather than be understood, to console rather than to be consoled, to love with all my heart rather than to be loved.”

Imagine Jesus feeling understood, consoled and loved with His dearest companions that He could lay down and rest here? Oh to be such a garden, such a peaceful sanctuary. 

This is my desire, and the goal for the rest of my life.
