Hello World!!! This is Colletta, I’m one of the apprentices this year and I want to put a disclaimer out there… this is the first time I have blogged ever in my life, so be gentle with me…:)
This week our community got the pleasure of having Sean Daly fly out to take us through a journey of the heart. We spent the week listening to a conference based off the book Sacred Romance by Brent Curtis and John Eldredge. The message was all about understanding the importance of the hearts that God has given each one of us and getting in touch with our own hearts so that we can draw closer to God’s heart.
“The true story of each person is the journey of his heart.”
When I reflect back and think about the larger story of God I see that all He did, he did because of love, because of His heart. He created us, rescues us and frees us because of His heart for us. It makes sense then to think that our hearts really do play a crucial role in our life with God. Since we are created in His image and His likeness then we are to live with our hearts.
For some members of our community (like myself) this week has been a fresh exploration of relating and connecting to God through our hearts. This week generated a stirring that I pray we continue to respond to individually and collectively. If you have never read the book or want to take a deeper look at God’s design and purpose for our heart, I highly recommend Sacred Romance; it will rock your world, in a good way…hehehhe
God Bless, CC

Amen.
I know two children of God that became great brothers and faithful friends by this holy way…

“But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”
The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.” – Lamentations 3:21-25
