I Went on a Retreat 365 Days in a Row! is my first manuscript, which will be published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc. in 2024. It all began in 2017 when I thought about the idea of going on a daily retreat. The purpose was to take a break from everything that was going on in my life each day. My first retreat was on June 1, 2017. My last one was on May 31, 2018. Fast-forward to today. I am in the final stretch with completing my book. What is it all about? It is about experiencing a daily retreat in order to refresh myself mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Retreats help me with taking a break from the rigors of daily life and helping to balance the most important areas of my life – family, faith, self, career. They also help me with learning as much as I can about my faith so that I can live my life as best as I can based upon the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Listening to Contemporary Christian Music is one of my favorite things

to do when I am on a retreat by myself or at a concert with family or friends.

Below is my list of why listening to this genre of music is very important to me.

1) Deepen my relationship with Jesus Christ.

2) Learn more about what Jesus Christ did for me and how important He is in my life.

3) Deepen my understanding of the Christian faith.

4) Worship God and give glory to Him.

5) Learn more about God’s Word in Scripture and what He is saying to me.

6) Take the opportunity to focus on my faith.

7) Do something which mentally takes me away from everything.

8) Focus on the four most important areas of my life – family, faith, self, and career.

Two questions I have heard many times from a number of different people are “There is nothing to do.” and “Technology is a detrimant to our society.” Well, let’s look at the other side of the coin of these two statements. First, “There is always something to do. Every day, each one of us can focus on making this world a better place for others.” Second, “Let’s use technology to learn about our faith, reach out and help others, and glorify God.”

The are many examples throughout YourWillBeDone.life that will help you with the two latter statements mentioned above. The topics listed below are the avenues you can take to do this.

Click on the picture above to navigate Church of the Nativity's website.

Church of the Nativity is a Catholic church located in Timonium, MD. I discovered this church when I read the book “Rebuilt” several years ago. I have learned much about this church since February 2021 by perusing their website, joining one of their small groups on Monday evenings, attending three of their Masses in person, listening to the Gospel read and the sermon on the message series at their weekend Masses online every weekend, and attending several of their webinars. Their mission statement is “Love God, Love Others, Make Disciples.” That’s it! Do you know your church’s mission statement? Their Strategic Anchors (The Core Four) are listed below:

Weekend Experience – Making the weekend experience, music, messages, ministers, a top priority to keep parishioners connected and attract the unchurched.

Shape a Clear Discipleship Path – Preaching and teaching a clear discipleship path so that parishioners can grow as Christ followers.

Leadership – Building layers of leadership, because everything rises or falls on leadership.

Evangelization – Keeping evangelization front and center of everything we do, because who we’re reaching is more important than who we’re keeping.

During the first several months of 2017, I contemplated the idea of experiencing a retreat on a daily basis. I began documenting these retreats on June 1, 2017. After several months, I contacted Christian Faith Publishing, Inc. about what I was doing and if they would be interested in working with me to publish my work someday. Linda, a literary agent with the company, liked my idea. She was super excited about my work. I was also! Linda encouraged me to continue my work and keep her updated on how I was progressing every now and then. I continued writing about these daily retreats until May 31, 2018. I worked on my manuscript for a few years and then submitted it to Christian Faith Publishing, Inc. in September 2021. They accepted my work, and they agreed to work with me on publish it. Since then, I have spent many hours working on my manuscript. It is getting closer and closer to completion. My best educated guess is that I Went on a Retreat 365 Days in a Row! will be published sometime in the latter part of 2024, the sooner the better. I say sooner is better because I want my work to benefit as many people on this planet as possible. Not only will my readers benefit from my work, but also those people served by each of the following ministries and nonprofits.
