I led a session entitled “Walking in the Valley”. It was loosely inspired by St. John of the Cross’ classic “Dark Night of the Soul“. I was trying to share something of my own recent experiences, hoping to enlighten and encourage others should they encounter something similar. It was a tough session in that I don’t think I made my points very well and so was unable to generate a lot of discussion. On the other hand, I’m fairly convinced that God laid it on my heart to approach this topic and so I’ll hope that I at least planted some seeds for future thought.
