The call of Lent to have a deepened prayer and spiritual
life, and the gentle nudging of a trusted friend, has inspired me to begin the
blog, From the Heart. In hopes to bring others to a closer
relationship with God and our Savior, Jesus Christ, I humbly share my thoughts of
how I feel God is working in my life.
I
tend to be a very contemplative person, and while I am not even close to the
spirituality of the great mystic Saint Theresa of Avila, I do enjoy quiet time
with God. I find these quiet moments as
I fold (not sort) laundry, gaze out my kitchen window while washing dishes
(which is often since we do not own an automatic dishwasher) and as I drive
from here to there.
These three examples
are quite telling – for they deal with things that are messy, dirty and often
very hectic – and they always end up somehow clean and fresh and often
soothing.
Isn’t that what God asks us to
bring to Him – our mess – so He can lead us to wholeness?
I pray that this blog brings you food for
thought as you grow in friendship with our awesome God!
From the Heart,
Tina McCue
