Come, Holy Spirit, Fill our Hearts!

Good morning out there! It has been almost three weeks since my last post! A busy
time of year for everyone. I woke up about 3:30 am and could not go back to sleep.
I have several things to share with y'all and I'm still trying to decide if I should write
one really long post or several different posts. I'll just jump right in and see what
happens. That's usually how it works - I think I'm going to write about this or that and
The Holy Spirit has other ideas!


Speaking of The Holy Spirit - This past Sunday was Pentecost! I have the perfect
picture to share!

Come, Holy Spirit,

fill the hearts of your faithful.

And kindle in them the fire of your love.

Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.

And you will renew the face of the earth.

Lord,

by the light of the Holy Spirit

you have taught the hearts of your faithful.

In the same Spirit help us to relish what is right

and always rejoice in your consolation.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

I am going to attend an ACTS Retreat this weekend. I am really excited about this!

I have to tell you...I never thought I would go on one of these retreats. Not because I

didn't want to or because I didn't think I needed to - I just didn't feel like I would ever

be able to. One of my closest friends told me that I would know when the time was

right. The time is right - I need this retreat and that's kind of a hard thing for me to admit.

I just go and go and right now I know that I have to stop for just a couple of days and

be still and listen. I'm praying to be filled with the Holy Spirit, just like the picture above.

I'm praying for the ACTS Team who have worked so hard to put this together and I'm

praying for all the other ladies who will be there with me.

 Come, Holy Spirit, fill our hearts!

Blessings to you and yours!

Bye for now, Sharla
