All this month, I am inviting you to reflect on your growth and to try a practice. This week’s practice may help you uncover an area of growth you are being called to. One thing I like to do when I am in deep discernment is write a prayer to help me focus my thoughts and intentions.

Breathe. Breathe in God. Breathe in hope. Sometimes that is the most basic thing you can do to re-center yourself in times that feel hopeless.

All this month, I am inviting you to reflect on your growth and to try a practice. This week, I invite you to try a breathing prayer to help embody hope.

This month’s theme, “Pause and Practice” is an invitation to reflect on your growth. Each Sunday throughout this month we will offer a practice you can use to help you unearth the still voice of God calling you to a deeper wholeness. 

Too often in life, we run from one event to the next or from one crisis to the next without taking the time to reflect on what happened and how we are changing and growing as a result. Here at Retreat, Reflect, Renew, our retreat season is like a school year, running from September through June. My intention with these reflections is to create a journey for you throughout the season.
