Contemplative by Design by Gettie L. Grimsley and Jane J. Young
"Be still and know that I am God!" - Psalm 46:10
There are numerous paths of awareness to the holy, the sacred among us. However, we fill our lives with business, chaos, and so much clutter that we miss these opportunities to be still and know God. Our minds race, our schedules control us, and our bodies give in to the stress of our daily routines, yet God waits, and waits, and waits for us. God years for us to find Sabbath for our souls. Our souls yearn to find Sabbath with God. . .
This resource is structured with 15 different ways in which to experience the holy. Each session includes an overview, developing the quiet space, readings, scripture, and even includes design for room set up for those among us who believe they are not creative. A few of the sessions are:Art, Believing Power, Breath, wind, Spirit, Life's Knots and Tangles.
The self in silence
yearns to know
to dance, be free
of fetters round her feet;
but 'til she learns
to listen with her soul,
she never will
cast off her bonds,
she will nether
the Great I Am,
she never will be whole.
