Looking Forward to Lent...and Loving More.

I started a Lenten Daniel Fast...with Craig. I'm looking forward to drawing closer to God (always the best place to be). I'm in the early midst of a shifting spiritual season. For those of you who know what I mean...please pray for me. For those of you who don't...I'm praying for you.  :o) ...(really, I am)...

Let me know if you'd like to learn more about Lent and/or the Daniel Fast. If you're lurking (and want to keep it that way :o)  check out the resource and link below for some good information from a trustworthy source:

"LENT: Join the Lenten Journey. Listen to and Read daily messages on this site. Increase your prayer time with the help of http://www.vashtimckenzie.blogspot.com/; ...Information about the Daniel Fast is in the Read archive. Invite others to join you!"

The great thing about being aware of the Lenten season is that there is no risk and just nothing to lose...only so much to gain. It's not about what you give up or take on, but rather about simply moving closer in relationship with God (wherever you are on your journey with Him). No guilt, no must-tos or have-tos, no pomp and circumstance, no feelings of failure...simply listening...and learning...and choosing to unfold your heart...to Him...because He loves you...simply...deeply...beautifully. He is always glad to see your face and hear your voice...like a friend...but just so much more...who holds your heart so carefully and joyfully in every season of your life, and is always genuinely delighted to hear from you...and doesn't run in the opposite direction from your big uglies. You can trust God to truly love you. You...(yes, you)...are so very precious to Him. I hope you choose to let Him love you.

I know that I can not live (really...I can not) without Him.

Much Love. Take Care.
