Away from the World

Sometimes, life gets too cluttered with non-essentials that we often need to step back for a change in perspective.

I have started (albeit half-heartedly) this retreat three weeks ago and today, I am on it's third week. I pray that He will sustain me and keep me faithful in this particular program.

I know, I am one of those types who can't keep things going after the first flame of passion has petered out but this journey is not something that I willfully started. He led me to this particular walk and I expect He will keep pulling me until it is completed.

If you want to try this retreat (pray first and ask for strength from Him, we need it)... just visit this link...Online Retreat for Everyday Life. It's a 34-week retreat patterned after the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola.

Before you begin, open your mind and hearts and trust Him who led You to this retreat.

The State of the Fallen

Dark. It is very dark where I am today.

There is no visible light.

I wanted to reach out but I am afraid of what I might touch in the darkness.

I wanted to call out, but I am afraid that I would lead them to my corner of this darkness.

So I lay still, shivering, huddled in one corner...

Waiting...
Just waiting....
