lent.

Lent has truly been a hard journey for me this year. I never realized that being pregnant could put such a different spin on lent for me. Well, it did. It also got me to start thinking about lent and how we offer something up or we do something more in our day to day lives. I decided to offer something up during this lent, I thought that this was going to be the most beneficial for me. But boy way I wrong.

Over the past two weeks I have been realizing how the Lord wanted me to do something else for my commitment during lent. Speak up and do something more that may last longer than Lent, Stop putting on makeup, only looking in the mirror to ensure I look presentable for work. Because what I had picked was no longer challenging me, so the Lord challenged me to do more, to take up something that would challenge me. It's amazing how the Lord makes sure that we are in the right desert for ourselves. Its beautiful to see my journey and see how I got challenged more just at different times. Or how being pregnant you can't always do the norm, so you get challenged in many other ways.

Lent has been a journey, yes it is almost over, but I am going to make sure these last days truly count.

It is truly amazing to go through lent, which is such a time of sadness and the time of the desert to feel such life moving inside of me. She is quite active and lets me know constantly that she is in there and loving it in there, growing more and more each day. It has been a beautiful way and journey to experience lent and I am grateful for the experience.
