Spiritual Attention

This week my air conditioner decided it had enough. It quit. 

Or really, this week my air conditioner gave out because it hadn't been attended to. There was no maintenance that had been done that the trustees could remember and when the filters were removed they were caked in years worth of build up. 

It got me thinking about our spiritual lives as well. While we want the wind, breath, movement of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we sometimes aren't the best to checking in and actually being attentive to our life in the Spirit. 

That is one of the reasons spiritual direction is so important to me. Because I know every month I am going to be asked "how is it with your soul?" 

​What are your practices to being attentive to the Spirit in your life?
