Hello, friends.
As many of you are not surprised, I have fallen behind on my blogging. I'm rolling my eyes thinking I could have kept up with it.
However!
It's time for change as the Lenten season is upon us. I hope you had the chance to receive ashes today and share your faith with someone. Due to work conflicts, I was not able to go to my service but am challenging myself to become closer to God over the next 40 days. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I fail but I'm always caught in grace as I stumble.
In years past, I've tried to give something up. Recently, I've given something up and added something. A few weeks in and I usually am left slacking. This is the year I'm successful though! I can feel it already!!! :)
What I'm adding this year:
1-I will grow closer to God through worship music.
2-I will blog often and encourage those around me.
3-I will pray several times a day for people, places, situations, and for the unknowns.
What I'm losing this year:
1-A negative attitude (this one will be a daily struggle and I know I will fail at times...but this is more of a general attitude.)
2-Procrastination via social media
I'm sure I'll discover things along the way, add and lose more, and will end up a more Godly woman at the end of my journey.
If you need ideas, here's a great website to help get your minds a thinking!
Praying for you always,
Emily
