The Beginning of a Beautiful Journey

Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Oh, how I love Lent! This is by far my most favorite Church season. Think about it. Right now everything is cold, dark, dead, and dreary. Come Easter Sunday, everything is full of life! I am not just talking about the weather. This is a transformation in our souls. There is nothing quite like the feeling that I get on Easter Sunday.

So, you may be wondering why on earth I have started a blog. In preparing for Lent, and when I mean preparing I mean months in advance (if you know me well enough this makes sense that I have been thinking about Lent for a long time), I knew that I wanted to come up with a sacrifice that is unique but worth doing. I have wanted to start a blog for sometime now and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to do so. So here I am writing my blog. And let me tell you how excited I am! I'm excited! I don't have a set topic that I will be writing about everyday. I am going to take the moments that make up my day and pinpoint the spots of inspiration. These such moments reveal God's presence in my life. I can't wait to continue sharing with you and growing towards God in communion with you. What a beautiful journey this will be. 

Enjoy your fast everybody and realize that we are in this journey together!
