Dear God,

I feel your power at work inside me.  As I sit daily with my circle of friends, creative authors from saints to contemporary writers on faith, I hear your words coming from their mouths.  As I listen in the silence and wait for your particular word for me, I am never disappointed.  You are giving me direction, preparing me for retreat this weekend.  You plan to act.  You have been opening me deeper and wider to your spirit.  You have been softening my resistance much like childbirth just before the baby is ready to pass from darkness to light.  You have been assuring me you are with me, giving me this circle of friends, whose faith touches me deeply and challenges me in so many ways.

For the last several weeks you have been whispering your hope to me.  You have been showing me I am not alone in my plight, for you are with me.  You have been showing me how my burden can be laid down and how your yoke will make it ever lighter as I work with you.  You are readying me for your purpose.

Thank you,

Eternal Father.

Thank you

for the blessing

you are

to me.

Thank you

for faith

that sustains me.

Love, Andrea
