Silence

Sunday evening we had The Gathering which is our communion service and worship time. We have started doing this once a month and I love it. Some friends of ours usually lead worship for us, but this week Jenny was sick. She called me a couple of days before and sounded awful. Anyway, without someone to lead in music Danny & I prayed about it and decided to do a concert of prayer. This is an idea we got from World Changers.

Every summer Danny is the Project Coordinator for at least one WC project and this is something they do one night for worship. Its a time of guided prayer and silence-something we never have enough of. In the course of the evening we also took communion.
What an amazing time. I am a person who seems to need very little silence so when I find myself craving it I know I'm at my end. Sunday wet my thirst for it. I don't know when I'll get it. With 3 kids and countless summer activities it seems like a challenge. I tried today but my super-cute daughter decided to get up early-surprise. Hopefully it will work out soon. Maybe I need a retreat. I would like to go here.
