    How are you becoming more aware of God in your everyday?
    (especially through valuing and adopting Contemplative/Spiritual Practices)

    How has solitude/retreat/silence affected you?

    What challenges/uneasiness/hesitations are you encountering in your prayer life?

      Through silence emptied of my own agenda, I have discovered that God is so big that it is not even possible for me to love him as I always thought I did. This is both frightening and motivating.
      But through the contemplative practices I am discovering that although
      I do not know how to hear God, I am learning how to listen
      I do not know how to feel God, I am learning how to reach out to him
      I do not know how to see God, I am learning how to turn my face toward him
      I do not know how to know God, I am learning how to be with him

      amazing thoughts. Thank you stacy! this is really good. i think it touches a chord with me - and the beauty of the journey with God. the “learning” is the journey - the beauty of being in life with God and with community. but the “learning” is also the struggle - the fight with not caring to know, hear, fell, or see God - or the struggle of coming face to face with my own LOCKED IN belief that i already know, hear, feel, and see God - when it’s not true.

      thank you for sharing!
