I found out about spiritual direction from a Pastor of a church I'd visit. This was my first time I'd ever experienced anything like this. The prayer time was so peaceful, and I felt I actually got connected to the Spirit of the Living God. Then when I started journaling I could actually see the Holy Spirit moving (directing) me closer to God. I could actually feel the Presence of God in a new more powerful way that I hadn't experienced in a long time almost as if I was becoming one with God as everything else began to fade away becoming less of importance.
It was such a great experience I would encourage everyone to try it at least once in their lifetime. It was a great privledge and I am so grateful to that Pastor for taking her time.
