April 24–26 Silent Retreat @ Elim Lodge
在加拿大第一次靜修,三天天氣由微寒轉暖,陰晴雨交替,像經歷四季般豐富。
到步後在湖邊漫步,環境寧靜優美。安頓後帶領第一次靜修營的集體默想,心中有點緊張,也不斷向神禱告:「提醒我慢慢講、平和一點。」結果過程比想像中安穩,心中滿是感恩,由從前跟牧者到今次膽粗粗試帶領的喜悅。
第二天是全日個人靜修,並嘗試作屬靈導引。雖然經驗不多,但仍憑信心回應。聆聽不同姊妹們分享時,深深感受到那份能力不是出於自己,而是聖靈在其中工作。整天下來雖然疲累,卻滿有滿足與興奮,看見不同生命故事在神裡交織成一幅美麗圖畫(相左上)。晚上再帶領默想,聽見各人心境的轉變,更是感恩。
也有一種從前「上山修練」,如今要「下山闖蕩」的感覺。
第三天清晨,湖面如鏡,鳥鳴、風聲、水聲彼此和諧共存,讓我感受到神起初創造的美好。忽然兩隻水鳥從水中冒出(像朝早起身-相右上),打破如鏡的湖面,一圈圈漣漪向外擴散。
那一刻我被提醒:生命原來就是這樣——不需特別張揚,只要真實地「起身」,順著神的引導活出自己,便能帶來影響,讓更多生命被牽動,擴展神在我們中間的工作。

My first silent retreat in Canada—three days moving from chilly to warm, through clouds, rain, and sunshine. It felt like walking through four seasons.
Led my first group silent meditation. I was nervous, praying, “Slow me down, keep me gentle.”
It turned out peaceful—and I sensed a quiet shift: from being led, to beginning to lead.
On the second day, I tried offering spiritual direction. Limited experience, but a clear reminder—
it wasn’t me at work, but the Holy Spirit.
Tired, yet deeply filled—watching lives being woven together into something beautiful.
On the third morning, the lake was like a mirror.
Then two waterbirds emerged from the water, breaking the stillness—ripples spreading outward.
A simple reminder:
Life-Just rise, be real, follow God—
and your life will create ripples.
