Oct. 30, 2006 - Walk to Emmaus
I just returned from an amazing walk with the Lord. Christ truely met me as I journeyed through the weekend. I had tried for two years to find a sponsor for this journey. God finally sent me a sponsor. I know now that this was the time I needed to go, not two years ago. My experience and support would not have been the same had I gone earlier. It is hard to put into words the experience that I had. The weekend was about personal spititual formation. While I consider myself a woman of faith and I gave my heart to Jesus long ago, I discovered that I was still holding back. Keeping a part of me and that stood as an obsticle to truely experience the love of God. I left those obsticles there. I pray everday now that I do not choose to pick them up again. I pray that I can take the love I felt and messages I heard into the world and help others. The grace God has to offer us immeasureable. It was a blessing to see the Holy Spirit working through everyone present. I made new friends and learned new ways to worship. I learned how to take my life lessons and use them for God. I learned that I can lean on God's strength, not my own. I prayed more than I have ever prayed in my life. (That includes taking youth on mission trips. I thought I prayed alot then!) God met me where I was, leaned down to kiss me and wrapped me in his loving embrace!!!
If you want to hear more about my personal experience on this walk, please email me. I don't want to put everything here on the blog because I do not want to spoil the gift for those who have yet to go.
