Oh Nell, it’s like you can see inside my heart and know what I have gone through for several years now. Solitude. But I have always found Jesus in the solitude and He is all I need. Thank you again for your words this week. God speed.

Thank you for inviting us into a piece of your heart and sharing what detachment looks like (even when it’s fruitful, meaningful, and purposeful). I’ve never met anyone who could authentically dedicate themselves to a group of 40+ women like you. Thank you for being you 💜💜💜💜💜💜.

You create community every where you travel. You will be sorely missed by your writing team!

I had to say no to some things that fed my soul in order to say yes more often to my family. And the Lord met me where I was at. I longed for connection with female Catholic/Christian companionship during that time. Instead I had time to become silent in my soul and meet Jesus in a new way. Blessings.

You're work with BIS changed how I prayed, how I saw community, how I listened and hear the lord. Thank you.

So grateful for the example you set of discerning and following God’s will!! Such a leap you’ve taken! I’ll just be over here tracking your trek through the desert and taking notes on how to better listen in my own life.

Called to a new way of being in the world...surely all you have amassed from lived experiences and outcomes - especially in relationship with others - is being used by God for new endeavors, informed by the grace of obedience. I’ll be praying for you and reading along.
