Apprentice 2 Jesus

The other day I took time for a silent retreat. The best way to enter a silent retreat is to go overnight. Actually, TWO nights are helpful, just to cut down the noise in our lives.

I only had a day, but knew I needed to take it. I went to a hermitage. All alone in the woods, the hermitage had no running water or electricity. It was very well done, just no “modern” amenities.

And in that silence, the Lord had orchestrated this day for me. In that time, he spoke his word to me. In the afternoon, reading the Scriptures and visiting some “ancient wells,” he spoke to me directly. The Spirit overwhelmed me. I was so grateful. In the time I had, he arranged it so I could hear from him. His word is SO GOOD to me! Gentle. Calling me. Firm. Grace.
