OVERVIEW
As busy women, our lives can easily become
overwhelming and over-programmed. From work
to parenting to marriage to housekeeping to church
to volunteering, we can get used to having our lives jam-packed
with responsibilities and commitments. Though
we long for time alone with God, when we actually get that
time, we can flounder. What to do? How do we fill an hour
with God? Or two? Or maybe even three?
This is your moment to be real. To face and deal with the loss in your life, but to do it with God. To turn your eyes, your heart, your attention to him as you struggle through this time of darkness toward the light.
This Kyria download contains 12 different ideas and
experiences you can use during a period of time you’ve
set aside to be alone with God and focus on silence and solitude. Each idea can take from 10 to 20 minutes. So flip
through these pages and zero in on the experiences that fit
you best. If you’ve got just an hour, plan on doing about 4
experiences; or, alternately, you could take about half of a
day to utilize all 12 ideas in this packet.
