Finding my way to Him

One of my earlier trips to the Abbey, I was particularly feeling rejected and alone. I was sitting in the gardens when suddenly I noticed at least 20 Robins around me. It was so startling that I looked up the meaning of the Robin. What I found was heart warming. Robin’s bring Hope for new beginnings and Happiness. Ending of an old phase and the promise of a new one. They can be a reminder that you are not alone. This was so meaningful to me at that time and still is, because I was talking to God in those gardens. He knew my every emotion and He showed me in a very tangible way that He is near.

I started going to the Abbey alone in 2020.  It was always a sweet time because Jesus met me exactly where I was at the time. Some weekends I cried all weekend, others I slept all weekend, others I listened and wrote down what I heard and others I studied.  It was a beautiful time and one that proved to me in a REAL way that God, my Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, loves me beyond measure.  

After spending many times with Him alone, I felt a calling in my spirit to offer that same opportunity to those who may have never experienced it.  Also, a lot of women wouldn’t go off by themselves for themselves.  You know!  That’s selfish to take time alone. What would your family, your pets, and anyone else that needs you do without you for a weekend?  

I promise you, it’s not selfish. They will be okay. And you will be refreshed.

My partially guided retreats allow ample time for you to be silent with the Lord but also gives you a little time to learn from others.  With the materials I give you, you will be guided to a deeper time with Him. Self reflection is a key component to your time.

This is what ladies say……………

I learned that I have been too hard on myself. I have fault in situations because I didn’t put up boundaries. The share time together was great but the face that I was expected to be quiet was very helpful.

I learned that I am capable of letting go of regrets and that looking at myself to see the places in myself where I am responsible for part of the regrets. The information helped me to remember to look at myself in every situation and with God’s help look at my own faults.

I felt like the Lord softened my heart. He showed me an area of my own pride. I am in a better place and able to approach others with humility instead of being defensive.

I learned that I need to trust God more and listen to the Holy Spirit better. The emotional wheel was eye opening for me and showed me my true emotions.

The handouts were great! I loved the location. I was running on empty.

They, God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, are here if you quietly listen. Learning to slow my mind down was helpful.

I learned that God is in fact waiting for me to return to him every single time.

I learned that truly connecting with God requires intentional alone time with just Him. The packets helped guide me in my reflective thoughts. They helped me focus on my purpose for being here.
