Wind in the Sails

I have been receiving grace after grace recently.  I think we are constantly receiving graces we just really don't acknowledge them for what they are most of the time.  I have also started a devotion of Lectio Divina, which is really good for your soul whether you are Protestant or Catholic.  It's completely based on scripture, which the Protestants adore and which the Catholics are in need of.

Lectio Divina is taking a verse or two of scripture and meditating upon it.  You invite God to talk to you through his words-through The Word.  You then journal about the truth that is revealed in those words, how you can apply this revelation in your daily life and you end writing a prayer that helps you live this revelation.  What happens in this act of journaling (if you let the Holy Spirit in) is a dialogue with God.

Since I have started this way of talking and listening to God, I feel as if my spiritual life is on the move.  It feels as if a strong wind has taken a hold of my main sail and we are heading on a course full speed ahead.  What wind is in my sails?  The Holy Spirit is my wind gusting into my life, taking my breath away and sending me on an adventure if I am willing.  As you can tell I am willing so...


Full Speed Ahead!!!
