Ash Wednesday began the Lenten Journey, and I'm on an adventure with Pope Francis's Walking with Jesus. I read a chapter or two, write down a sentence or phrase to contemplate and fill my thoughts as I daily move thru Lent. I'm finding I'm much more addicted to being on the computer than I realized. It is good that I decided to take this journey. This reduction in time from the blog during Lent is a reality check.
I'm continuing to be for the most part absent from the internet. And while I won't be posting or commenting much at all, I've left open a WIPs Be Gone link so you can share with each other and keep encouraged to finish your projects. It's hard to remain silent during this time to focus on walking a little closer to the Lord and finding the way, but it is paying off. I feel more at peace.
Contemplation or meditation can still be done these weeks Therefore, I will work also on making some progress myself on a wip or two. You'll find a link from me occasionally in the link party - a silent link.
Here are two resources you may find helpful if you would like an adventure, too.

ReplyDeleteGreetings from Finland!
Hugs, Ulla
You will be missed, but how great is it to do this to get closer to God.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time as you draw closer to Our Lord in this time. Blessings to you.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good think you warned us cause I am the kind of person who will check on someone if they've been silent for too long. Just to check, you know, to remind them they are missed and missed you will be. But I do understand and it's okay to put some things in priority order. May your spiritual growth be pleasant and fruitful. ;^)
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will get plenty out of your journey, I too need to do some deep thinking and getting closer to God
ReplyDeleteYes I shall miss you too, but some things are more important than patchwork. May you be truly blessed as you journey closer to God.
