A women's conference Pentecost weekend! Hokey smokes! The fire is gonna fall!!!! This is amazing news.

Thank you.again for sharing on utube giving us thd ability to share it with others as opportunity to listen to. In this episode talking about the ability to allow ourselves to play an area I need the Lords help in. I invite Him into areas of my heart where walls of needing to be watchful hindered my ability to play.

You gals are the BEST! I am a grown man, but your podcast and your books and videos on youtube have made a HUGE impact in my life and my relationships (both in Faith and people) Happy Advent and Merry Christmas to you!

Awesome ❤

As I have been listening to abiding pod cast a weekly pod cast. I personally find each pod cast offers opportunity to reflect on areas God brings to our attention. Awhile back I was reflecting on Jesus asking Peter if he loves him during the bible study The Chosen. He approached him three times. God wasn’t asking me if I loved Him but did I truly believe He loved me. As I write this even now He is reminding me just as He asked Peter He also asked me today He poses the same question adding do I believe also He delights in me all the time? _____, do you believe I love and delight in you all the time. _____, do you believe I love and delight in you all the time? ______, do you believe I love and delight in you all the time? Three times He asked me. The advent pod cast week two doesn’t ask if we love God or if we believe He loves us but asks us to consider if we believe He delights in us. I recently wrote an individual and stated “God loves me and delights in me” even as I wrote those words something began to stir in me. It at times in my life was easier to believe God loved others and delighted in them but God is asking us to look at how we would feel and what that would look like if we truly grasped God loved for us and delights in us. I think it was the delight part that got to me. What does that mean “someone delighting in me” when I look up the definition of delight “pleases someone greatly, a cause or source of great pleasure, When you like someone, you might say, "______ is an absolute delight." You mean you think ______ great: a delight is a source of joy. As I have shared when I had my oldest daughter I had an experience where I experienced the love of God as I expressed to Him I wanted to come home and when He reminded me I just had a baby girl I told Him no no I want to see my little girl. That experience allowed me to experience His pure love there are no words to describe it but experiencing it and believing He loved me was part of my journey. When I look at four types of experiences: Ordinary: We might pay attention to these everyday experiences in the moment, but they're not “sticky” enough to make an impact. * Memorable. ... * Meaningful. ... * Transformational. Experiencing something without understanding diminishes it transformative ability. Understanding is knowledge of what one experiences or experienced. Experience + knowledge = understanding. The other day I got a glimpse of the Holy Spirits excitement when we begin to grasp and recognize God speaking to us and the personal avenues He uses in the participation of being transformed. When I was in grade eight I did a book report on Helen Keller being naturally deaf, mute, blind comparing it to our spiritual deafness, spiritual muteness and spiritual blindness. Just as Ann was her teacher the Holy Spirit is ours and when we begin to grasp what He is saying and teaching us we like Helen Keller will flourish. I sensed the other day the excitement the Holy Spirit gets when we begin to comprehend. Now I am not sure if that was excitement or Him delighting in me. As I am doing the 25day challenge and in sharing excerpt from “A Severe Mercy” it shares how Sheldon found himself -both believing and unbelieving at the same time in the statement “Lord, I believe help my unbelief.” He shares how those words cut right to the heart. I found myself over the past year saying “Lord, I do believe, help my unbelief.” As I came to understand unbelief isn’t disbelief but doubt that had entered due to circumstances and situations I went through. Sheldon realized that one must have faith to believe, but one must also choose to believe in order to have faith. At that moment, everything changed for him. In confessing Lord I do believe help thou my unbelief I was asking Him to heal over those areas where doubt had entered. And I ask the Holy Spirit to continue to intercede on my behalf and on behalf of my brothers and sisters in the Lord bringing to fruition Gods purpose, desire, and will in our lives. His word tells us: “Psalm 147:11- God delights in those who reverence him and trust him and put their hope in his unfailing love. God does not delight in strength (v. 10) but he delights in us when we acknowledge our weakness and our need of him.” We often or may attribute someone delighting in someone in accomplishments, achievements, status etc. God doesn’t delight in us for those reasons but He delights in us depending on Him, trusting Him and in our acknowledgement of our weaknesses. So today I pose the question do you believe God loves you and delights in you all the time. It took me several years to grasp this that God gave me in recognizing the avenues He has chosen and placed in individuals paths in fulfilling Ezekiel 34:11-16! For the common things of everyday life, God gave people the ability to share and words to express times & moments in their life. He gave friends, acquaintances and family to share in our journey." "For the deeper things people feel & think, God gave poets and writers words to reveal; that often become opportunities in growing." "But for the heights and depth that no words can reach, God gave people music, the soul's own speech." “But for revelation and awakening God gave His Son and His Spirit to lead and guide us into all truths." “Zechariah 4:6”

So much heart & shared wisdom in this ladies - I need to listen again & again - thank you!🙏❤🫂

Beautiful

Ah! This podcast was such an amazing find … thanks so much!!! Another opportunity to listen and learn and deepen my love for Christmas!!! Amen!!!

This whole topic is so real. Thank you Heather, and Michelle and Sister Miriam, for this. Thank you Holy Spirit for inspiring this! This is exactly what I've been needing to look at but have been avoiding. Praise our Good Shepherd <3 !

Beautiful recognizing being a sheep that Christ leaves the 99 to find that lost part of ourselves He gently seeks us. He leaves the 99 any time our woundedness, brokenness, needs tending. What an awesome God who recognizes our the areas of our lives that need tending to bring us into a fuller revelation of Him, His love and His ability.

❤love it, can’t wait for next week!

Really looking forward to doing Advent with you ladies!🥰🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Love Michelle Dupong

That was beautiful. My Lectio Divina attempts weren’t successful. I tried to read too much, hoping that something would jump out. Then I would try to direct it according to what I wanted. I’m such a control freak! I have spent time since Sunday Mass, thinking of vines and branches. All of my reading has seemed to focus on it. I think it’s time to slap my forehead and say “Doh!” Let Him do it.

Beautiful and deep episode! Felt like I was sitting right there with you beautiful ladies bearing our hearts.

Love love Bishop Barton’s liturgy of the hours.

Question for you beautiful women: my 2 year old grandson is not baptized, does he still have a guardian angel? ❤

I had opportunity to listen to the pod cast today but will listen again as many times I need to re listen as opportunity for God to impress other things to me. Intimacy As I contemplate Jesus and how He continued whom being more in tune alert to all things He understood intimacy the deep connection of intimacy He and the Father shared. Intimacy every moment become opportunities for intimate conversation opportunity for us to experience Gods ability personally. There was time Jesus went off by Himself I believe those moments were moments of deep intimacy expressing how He was feeling and asking the Fathers help. The other aspect of intimacy besides telling Him how I am feeling etc. was asking His help. Often I expressed my feelings and thoughts but never asked His help with it. Learning how to allow Him to be my Father and all He wants to be for us. Every struggle every trial every joy opportunities to talk with God and ask His help. Everything also becomes an opportunity to be aware of what we truly believe. It is through the circumstances and situations when I become afraid becoming aware of what I am afraid of. Fear is the emotion I experience but in recognizing the underlying reason I am experiencing it then becomes opportunity to talk with Him. And until I am aware I just go to Him with what I am aware of. I don’t need to know why I am experiencing certain things only understand my need to go to Him with what I am aware of. So if I become afraid that my children will be hurt I go to God and sometimes confess I believe help my unbelief because whenever I am afraid it becomes opportunity to recognize I doubt Gods ability, the Holy Spirits, or Mother Mary’s ability in the lives of those I love. It doesn’t require them believing it requires us to pray as He begins to heal areas within them so they then are able to see what the unhealed hurts blinded them to. Sometimes until I hurt I can be blinded not experiencing the freedom available. Lepers have the inability to feel and that inability to feel doesn’t allow them to protect themselves. We feel pain, hurt, sorrow as opportunity to talk to God when we understand He waits for us to come to Him giving Him opportunity to experience His personal ability for ourselves. Many times in the past I would ask God “what was wrong with me? Only to hear Him say you are human.” Not sure what He was trying to get me to see and understand. I finally in recognizing the one aspect of my relationship with God that was lacking “intimacy” sharing my feelings and thoughts with Him then began confessing my feelings and thoughts become now opportunity in the deepening of my relationship with the Trinity and recently Mother Mary. When I first starting talking to Mother Mary because I was talking with Her more when I used to always talk to God because of wounds as a child in feeling when I met my real mother I was betraying my father and my step mom I felt I was betraying God. The struggle would come up a lot until God healed the wound and helped me understand I was struggling because He wanted to heal that in me I would never of experienced that struggle had I never meet Mother Mary and even though I didn’t understand He understood and in healing how I felt as a child when I met my real mother that somehow I was betraying my father and step mom He wanted me to know I wasn’t betraying Him He wanted me to have a relationship with Her. He was the one who introduced Her to me.

I wonder why continual prayers for strength and peace go unanswered, these are noble things to ask of a loving father. Granted, my brokenness has to work harder to discipline myself to go to Adoration and pray more when I need to lean in but I’d hoped our Lord could see I’m doing my best. I’ll keep trying.

Thanks you foe sharing.

Thank you so much.

Community longing as well, we live in an area that has non-practicing Catholics all around us 💔

The empty nest is so hard! Going thru it 5 times and the last the worst! Thank you Lord for allowing me the precious time with all of them and your gift has blessed me tripled fold.

Wow this was very powerful and tears just streamed down my face . Thank you so much for this meditation ❤🙏

Good to hear you three again ❤

I just read a book on St Catherine of Seine and held her relic. Your quote really touched my heart.❤️

I love listening to you all and you always manage to say something that hits home and makes me re-think situations.

I will leave you with this something God gave me years ago helping me understand all the avenues He was using to speak to me personally and the avenues He uses for others. "For the common things of everyday life, God gave us the ability to share and words to express times & moments in our lives. He gave us friends, acquaintances and family to share in our journey." "For the deeper things we feel & think, God gave us poets and writers words to reveal; that often become opportunities in growing." "For the heights and depth that no words can reach, God gave us music, the souls own speech." "But for all revelation and awakening God gave His Son and His Spirit to lead and guide is into all truths." And perhaps some reading this have a relationship with God and are still feeling something is missing. I personally discovered what was missing in my relationship with God was intimacy. Going to Him for myself, talking to Him about how I am feeling, letting Him comfort me. Something to think about.
