I know carrying my phone with me is such a habit. I almost feel empty without it. Something I am not proud of, What brings me closer to God? What take my eyes from God? OUCH. my phone usually doesn’t bring me closer – that says it all, doesn;t it? Thanks for commenting, Zoe

I’m one of those people, and I can’t help but feel ashamed whenever I try to compare myself to other people I see on social media. Maybe taking an online spiritual awakening course can help me feel more comfortable and discover the wonders of my own self.

Joanne – it is so good to connect with you again. Thanks for stopping by. That cabin was very special and you could feel the prayers within its wall. Blessings!

Thanks Patti for stopping by and leaving a comment. Those deer were all over and I visited with them in every walk. It was amazing. A solo retreat is a profound experience and one I don’t try to miss very often.

I have too taken the online ones. Bless you that you still seek out special times with God even while ill. Thanks for commenting!

I’ve taken a few “online retreats” since my chronic illness diagnosis. And while they were each different in form and style, they still brought me precious time to pause with God, and to listen to His calling deep in my heart.

Your photos are lovely…that one with the deer so grabbed my heart. I love deer, and I always enjoy spying them when I’m on a walk. The last 2 corporate retreats I went on ended in tears for me (clickiness), but a solo retreat sounds wonderful. As an empty nester, I have more opportunity to allow for one too.

Blessings,
Patti @ Clothed with Joy

Away from distractions, away from demands, away from technology. He has so much He wants to impart to us so that when we all are released back out into our communities, we will have much to give. The photos are beautiful, especially the cabin!

I’m circling back around to this post, Jean, so I can feature it Friday at the Grace & Truth linkup at my blog. I’m sure there are many of us who can use your tips to create our own spiritual retreats even if we’re unable to get away for an “official” one.

I was so longing for a retreat, Lisa so this was a great way to get the silence and stillness I so needed. Yes be intentional. I think this is a powerful word for all time but especially in 2020

Not yet … but it is calling. Soon, my heart, soon.

It’s been too long. I’d have to be very intentional to make it happen, but it’s always possible. Hmm….

Great tips. I long to get away with God. Glad the hermitage was available. Blessings to you. Glad you were able to wait till God led you to Ps. 16.
