My mini retreat with God
I'm on a retreat today! Supposed to spend my 2 to 6 pm with God but my attention span only lasted about 2 hours. But God has been gracious to me. Did praise & worship, prayers, followed by reading part of a reading material.Some pointers from the reading material that keeps me thinking:
- "Extra cargo" are "things we hang on to until a storm exposes how they are sinking us."
- "To survive a storm you get busy with the things that really matter--and those "things" are usually people! With all the pressures to achieve and accomplish, the people we love can slowly get pushed to the corners of our lives."
- "It usually takes a storm to restore our values."
- "If the storm blows you back to them [people], you have all you really need. You can always find another ship [thing]."
Keeps me thinking... Hmm... Pray that I'll get my answers real soon. :)
On 4:57 pm, Cheryl lays it all at the feet of Jesus.
