Pre-Retreat Excitement

I’m very excited about going on the Winter Retreat. Not because it is going to be a fun filled three days with my best buddies. No, actually I probably won’t be conversing with too many people. My goal for those three days is do nothing but spend time with the Lord and write poetry. I feel like that is what I really need to do. I was taking a walk one night with the Lord. I asked about a few dreams that I had. I asked basically for an interpretation. He said to me, “These dreams that I have given you have something to do with the Retreat. Something Dynamic will happen with you on this Retreat.” Then I asked, “Lord, what is going to happen?” He laughed and said, “I can’t tell you. It is a surprise.” I could feel the excitement that the Lord had. I became ecstatic instantly, but at the same time greatly nervous. What I am going to focus on is simply keeping my mind on Him while I’m on the retreat. I want to explore the gifts and abilities that God has given me. I want this Retreat to be a time where I find my true definition, and not just bits and pieces of it. I will admit that I have not been spending a lot of time with God. As a result of this, my mind has become poisoned with Earthliness. My Heavenly mindset has started to slip. I don’t want that to continue. It’s time to get back on track. It’s time to reignite the flame that once burned bright inside of me. It’s time to shine my sword, and polish my shield. It’s time to step into my calling.
