My Write Mind

I am going to go our Ash Wednesday service tonight.. My church observes the Lent season. We have services on Ash Wed, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. We also have prayer daily at our church at 6am and 6pm (it's nice especially in the morning). It's a time of renewal and reflection and I like it (although for the past couple of years I haven't given up anything)

Anyway, I've been in a bit of a funk lately but I am going to press my way… These next 40 days is a good opportunity/excuse for me to do so….. I don't want this season of lent to pass with me not at the very least trying to press on.. I guess in many ways I owe it to Christ. I mean, of course I don’t "owe owe” him, because what can I possibly give that would measure up to what he did for me on the cross? Nothing. . . ..(But of course there is living a holy and righteous life. He likes that) :)

Nevertheless, I shall press on…Not to say that I won't feel sad or bad or lonely or depressed or anxious during these times but it’s a matter of me not staying there, wallowing in it, having a pity party there. I need to stop feeling like I have to feel this way (says my friend Dawnn) but I also have to "allow myself to feel".

Anyway, all things considered I am doing ok so don't worry about me just pray. :)
