In 1997 my relationship with the Lord developed exponentially as I began to learn how to love Him not just with an affectionate heart, or an obedient soul, but also to love Him with a listening, contemplative, and discerning mind. As He led me more and more also into loving Him ( and His people ) with active vocational strength, I asked the Lord what He wanted of me, how He wanted me to move forward, with whom and where. His reply was prompt and clear, “Get up daily, attune yourself to My Spirit as I guide you and I will bring them to you. “. He always has. He continues to do so. The key is to daily focus on being present to God and others, as I have learned how to lean into His Presence with and in me.
