I spent this past week diligently planning a retreat, called Art and Spirit. I scoured the internet for cool art project ideas, I scoured the bible for good scripture ideas, and I joyfully wrote up a schedule of how this art-full and spirit-filled weekend would unfold. I had 3 art projects lined up, and lectio divina readings....I had this whole thing under control.
And then God woke me up.
So, before I got out of bed, we had the following conversation:
God: Nice start on the retreat plan.
Me: Start? Well, I mean...I've got...stuff...ummm.
God: Re-frame.
Me: Re-frame? What are you talking about? Re-frame what? ...OH! The art... A frame! Duh. And the prayers? Of course. Re-frame everything. What a great idea, God!
God: Of course it's a great idea. I thought of it.
I love it when this happens. Of course, not that I have to start over, but at least now I have a solid idea of where it's supposed to go.
Yep, that's a great idea!
Can't wait to hear what God gave you in the reframing process! Did it include Holy Yoga?
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, No this time it didn't.
ReplyDeleteI do plan to incorporate Holy Yoga into some of my retreats, or offer it as an option, now that we have nice comfy bamboo floors!
Thanks for reading!
