“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone will hear my voice and will open the door to me, I will enter to him, and I will dine with him, and he with me.” 
​Revelation 3:20 CPDV
The Lord is calling, inviting all. I am not writing you as a person of theology, I write to you as a witness to what the Lord can do in a life. If you feel something missing in your life, I would ask you to listen to my experience. I invite you to join.

Each person’s life can change once you answer the invitation. Mine has... is.., and will continuously
change because I am vigilantly seeking this relationship with Him.
it can be miraculous, some cases slow, 
In some cases and sometimes may seem void. I would tell you
that never during anytime has He left your side. Be patient, you are being taken from a diamond in the
rough to a beautifully polished gem worth more than money can buy.

by Sr. Mary Magdalene
“… But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go.  For if I do not go, the Advocate [the Holy Spirit], will not come to you.” 
​Jn 16:7
Fearful, Fatigued, Anxious, Troubled, Fretful, Worried, Unsure, Tense, Huddled, Waiting, Anticipating, Prayerful, Encouraging, Hopeful, Desiring, Open, Eager
“(…) and suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were.” 
​Acts 2:2
​Like the first disciples, you and I can sometimes find ourselves in The Space Between, that place where we struggle to feel the Lord’s closeness yet cling in faith to His plan for us. It is in this void that we embrace our humanity and that of our brothers and sisters, we pray for and encourage one another, and we open our hearts to the promised Advocate. With eagerness, we answer the call to announce the Good News, to indeed live as people born of the Spirit.
