Both of us were working in Columbia, South Carolina, when the subtle stirrings within began. The gentle urging would not be ignored, could not be ignored, and the awakening continued, rearranging, and adjusting, as remembering blossomed into knowing.
Still, it was not until a vivid, potent dream vision that we surrendered to God’s Divine Plan completely, and released our grip on worldly things, to take the hand of The Holy Spirit. In the releasing, fear gave way to faith; doubt gave way to trust; and, the journey continued, leading us away from the city, up into the high mountains.
We were led to establish The Quiet Place as a sanctuary for the children of God, a place of peace, a place where the door is always open, a place of retreat for contemplative prayer and meditation. It is our gift to all of God’s children. It is our gift to God. The Quiet Place is a place to set yourself aside, and rest, a place where your spiritual gifts will be magnified, resurrected from the shadows, to shine in The Light. All you have to do is be willing to be still, and make the sacred journey within, to the core of your being, to sit with God.
It is not difficult to open the door, and enter the chamber waiting. It is not difficult to approach the altar, and dine, at the feast, divine. It is not difficult to surrender, and be fed, by The Hand of God. It is not difficult to be lifted-up, carried on the wings of The Holy Spirit of God, into complete peace, light, balance, harmony, serenity, and tranquility. It requires only that you bring yourself to the place. The time? It does not matter. The day? It is of no regard. The dress? Come as you are; with no pretense, of what you “think” you should be, or say, or do. Because, in the holy space of The Quiet Place, The Breath of The Holy Spirit will enfold you, and hold you, as you soar to the door of eternity. And, in this “State of Anticipation,” you will find that you are ready to speak, you are ready to say, “I am here, God. I am still. I am silent. I am ready. Today God, I am ready to set my prayers, and supplications, aside, so that I might: know, that which You wish for me to know; hear, that which You wish for me to hear; and see, that which You wish for me to see. I am here. I am still. I am silent. And I am ready, God.”
The Quiet Place is a retreat for individuals and couples seeking peace, and it is waiting for you. It is waiting to welcome you, to restore and replenish you and your gifts, and it is our honor to serve you, and take care of you, while you rekindle the spark, ignite the flame, and continue your sacred journey…into eternity.
