2008 – Three years ago God wrecked my world by introducing me to the discipline of Spiritual Formation through the concept of “Wounds and Arrows”. Randy was the one who led that session at an Axis Leader’s Retreat.
His honesty and vulnerability touched me and they made me feel comfortable with the idea of exploring my past for dirt that I have worked so hard to bury and getting in peace with it.
I don’t claim that I am finished doing it or it was an easy/fun experience, but one thing is for sure that it is much easier to go through this with gentle leaders and mentors like Randy.
He is one of the few people around whom I can be my real self and be carefree from the thoughts of being judged, I speak out my ideas and thought and I KNOW THAT I AM HEARD. That is love, God’s love for me.
My journey with Randy has helped me explore some of my insecurities and fears in a safe place and I am thankful to God for answering my prayer to send ‘a friend‘.
