"But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray. (Luke 5:16)"

If He needed it, how much more do I??...

Could you use some extended quiet time with Jesus? Do you sometimes feel that your time alone with God even at the Days of Refreshing is not enough? You begin to trace a theme through Scripture and it's time to return to the rat race? Is there a question, a burden, an issue that you need to discuss at length with the Father? Would you just enjoy a stretch of uninterrupted peace and quiet alone with Him?

If so, I invite you to join us for the Psalm One Refocus and Refuel Retreat March 2-4. If you have done this before, you know how it pays off in transforming ways. We have had some very special times alone with the Lord as well as some great fun and fellowship together at past retreats. I always benefit from extended time in the Word, prayer, meditation, journaling, just sitting still at His feet. I need to take a time like this often to keep my priorities and perspective straight.

This is a “semi-silent” retreat. We open with some teaching and group heart preparation, close in sharing and prayer, fellowship and laugh over meals. In between, however, we commit to the gift of absolute silence as we meet with God and God alone, so you can enjoy long, unhurried, uninterrupted times of study, prayer, meditation on the Word, journaling, just resting in His presence. I am available for spiritual direction if you would like to discuss how God might be leading you. Think of it as a stretched-out Day of Refreshing, with far more time to enjoy silence and solitude at Jesus' feet.

We will break away to Mount St. Joseph in Delhi (Western Cincinnati, off Route 50). You will have your own simple room with shared bathrooms on the hall. There are beautiful grounds to walk, a gorgeous chapel, and plenty of peaceful nooks and crannies to spread out and revel in extended time alone with Jesus. We have a lounge to ourselves and a kitchen for drinks and snacks. Cost is $100, which includes all housing, meals and materials. We'll begin with Friday dinner and wrap up around noon on Sunday. (We form a wonderful community of support, accountability and encouragement for the weekend, so if you cannot arrive by 6:00 Friday and stay until noon Sunday, we ask you to wait for another Psalm One event.)

This is for men and women--anyone who desires a deeper relationship with God! Come and clear out the cobwebs through life-giving time with the Shepherd. Set aside this time to devote to the Lord. It will be time well invested.

To register for this retreat, send a check for $100 (payable to Psalm One Ministries) to me. The deadline to send your registration to me is November 4. Space is limited, and life has a way of crowding out our noble intentions, so ink it in now! Hope to see you there….

At His feet,

Linda

The LORD is my shepherd,

I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside quiet waters.

He restores my soul;

He guides me in the paths of righteousness

For His name's sake. Psalm 23:1-3
