Great Week!

As the first week of sabbatical ends I reflect on my time. I spent it with family and friends, sharing in laughter and hugs, food and festivities, and unforgettable memory making! I’ve prayed, read, and sat in the beauty of God’s creation. I caught up on TV shows I hadn’t watched in a while and saw an incredible play (staring one of my most favorite people in the world). It is hard to believe the first week is over but the adventure is just beginning!

Week Two (8/8-8/15)

Hope for the week: I hope as I leave for 3 weeks at St Mary By the Sea, I continue to remain open to God’s voice in my life.

Is there an Answer (last week’s question): Where will I see God unexpectedly this week? God showed up unexpectedly in a conversation with one of the sisters I ate lunch with at St. Joseph Convent/Retreat Center. It was the anniversary of the day she took her vows to become a nun. It was inspiring, reassuring, and most definitely God-filled.  

Question of the Week: How will I be surprised by the Holy Spirit this week?

Thought for the week: I can’t decide if I over packed or under packed for my 3 week adventure…I guess I’ll let you know.

I invite you to join me daily in the Prayer for the week: God be with me in my travels, be with my comings and goings, in my sleeping and my waking. God be ever with me. Amen.

Blessing upon blessing,
