A Silent Retreat for ME???

This Lenten period has been most renewing. I just feel like I'm on the verge of something wonderful, new, exciting and spiritual.

My spiritual journey has been rough. But I've spent some time reflecting on it and have come to be thankful for hitting rock bottom and where I am now. This time has tested my faith. It has forced me to re-evaluate and question everything I've ever known. Most people are scared of times like these. I am. But, how can I grow if I'm never tested?

I've spent the last four weeks attending church....and I've found a place that I'm connecting with. I've had some amazing spiritual conversations with several people that I never expected. I've spent the last year and half searching for a spiritual mentor but am realizing that there is beauty in opening yourself to others and listening.

I'm attending a retreat this weekend and prepare to laugh when I tell you it's a silent retreat. I'm not 100% sure what that means. I spoke with a man last week who told me he's been on at least 30 retreats but never a silent one. So, the Supreme Chatty Cathy of the Unviverse is going to embark on a new journey and test herself. I'm actually very excited about this and a bit scared. I'm looking forward to the unknown revelations that God will declare to me!

So, if you're reading this and would like to pray for me and my spiritual walk, please do. I'm not asking for anything but to be led by the Holy Spirit.
