Growing in Our Relationship with Jesus - 1/12/21

Episode Summary

This week Jeanne is joined by Terry Siedsma to discuss growing in our relationship with Jesus.

Episode Notes

Last week we discussed new year’s resolutions, from a couple different perspectives, including the spiritual aspects of losing weight and exercising (the top two new year’s resolutions). Today, we’re going to talk about, in my humble opinion, the new year’s resolution that should be on the top of everyone’s list and that’s growing in our personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Where do you start?  Is it daily Mass? Or reading the Bible every day?  Or maybe, praying the rosary or chaplet.  How do you make those prayers meaningful versus just checking them off the to-do list. 

Terry’s approach has been to journal regularly including prayers, and answers to prayers as well as reflections on what weighs most on her heart.  If we have a close personal relationship with someone, don’t they know what is on our heart?  I hope to learn a lot from Terry today on how she grew closer to Jesus through her journaling.
