More About the Season of Lent

I think those who are afraid of Lent don’t really understand it. Some remember the drudgery from their childhood of being forced to give up something they love. Others just don’t know what it’s about. For me, I remember the season of Lent fondly from my childhood. Giving up something I loved because I loved Jesus more and wanted to show him in a tangible way.

For those who embrace this Lenten season, it can be a beautiful time of spiritual growth and discovery. No, it won’t be easy, but nothing meaningful is.

So today, Ash Wednesday, I challenge you to reevaluate your spiritual goals and see if maybe this year you’ll give up something in your life to make more room for God to move in you. Then when you are drawn to that something, move toward God instead.

You many not always be successful, but at least you will be mindful and have the conviction to orient yourself back in God’s direction. Go ahead, try it!

I dare to you make room for God and see what happens!

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
