But he really thought some of our best growth came out of dark times. Probably true.

But Richard’s insight helps. Failure can produce positive, life-changing results. An encouraging perspective!

He felt very strong about it. Thanks for stopping by this week

Maybe that’s why.

So often I sit quietly in prayer and feel nothing happens. Probably is a day he is working deep within my circuit board and I can’t see the changes yet. well At least I can hope so.

Didn’t know you lived in Santa Fe. I really liked it and would return there. In face there is another Rohr conference every Sept, can’t go this year but am hoping to attend in 2014. I did miss the green of Ohio though…

Two of us, two distinct beings yet moving as one.

I have to sit with them and pray over them. The hard working part was also accompanied by we learn by our failures. That is scary but he said that is really the only way to learn. Try, fail, pick yourself up and go on. Good thoughts

Made me think and grow. Thanks for commenting, Clella

He allows us to stand on His feet while He teaches us the steps, till we ourselves learn the joy of dancing in sync with Him. So glad you had a wonderful journey.

It gives me great encouragement to know that in this second half of life (should I live the average life span) there is a prize of great worth available to me: intimacy with God! “Hard work, but rewarding,” he says. That’s OK by me. We appreciate more what we’ve had to strive for. Thank you, Jean, for sharing these valuable tidbits from the conference.
