“This is My Story
Have you wondered if freedom, peace, and growing intimacy with God are possible in your life? That shame, anxiety, fear, and anger could be less prevalent? That the darkness of depression and the overwhelming tiredness could change? That God could have something to say to you in your every day living?
A spiritual director is someone who is trained to walk with you and explore questions such as these. You have the opportunity to increase your soul’s sensitivity to God’s communication to you, much like tuning a radio into the right station frequency.
As a spiritual director, I help hold a safe space open for you to:
- Hear His voice
- Be aware of His presence
- See His footprints as we walk through a section of your life together
For me, several years ago, darkness, clinical depression and anxiety, surrounded me. Each day challenged me to get out of bed. Swirling thoughts ruminated constantly through my brain.
“Where are you God? Would I ever be free from these thoughts, feelings and tiredness? How can I hear your voice?”
My friend, Amy, invited me to a Holy Yoga retreat, which is yoga focused on the holiness of God, the accompaniment of Jesus, and the companionship of the Holy Spirit.
At this retreat, the first question I received in my gift bag was:
“Are you here for some healing?”
That question and that retreat started the healing process for me. Jesus had words of love, healing, and restoration for me.
That retreat, like a healing balm, began my journey toward spiritual direction and hearing God’s voice regularly. Today, I find myself healthy, free, peaceful, and growing increasingly intimate with God because of the listening and journey God has led me on, and the help of my own spiritual director.
I find my spiritual director helps me notice the presence of God, prays for me and asks good questions, like “What does my soul need today? And “What does God say my soul need?” for example.
Are you someone ready to be free, peaceful, and grow in your intimacy with God?
This can be your story, too.
I would love to travel with you in your journey.
