What are you willing to stop doing?

During the past week how many times have you seen Lent referred to as

the season of giving up chocolate?

As a season of focusing and getting closer to God

what would you be willing to give up to know God better and

have Spirit or god express through every aspect of your life?

I seem to remember a story about someone selling all they had….

I have been seeing lent as a period of Sabbath.

A time of doing less to know God more.
In the beginning of the year some of us made out our goals lists,

or maybe a vision or treasure map,

for what we wanted to have or accomplish this year.

I invite you to make a stop doing list

For this time of living with spiritual intensity & intention.

What are you willing to stop doing, to know God more?

Have some fun with it.

The Journey Begins-Ash Wednesday

We begin the season of Lent, which is a season of Spiritual Attentiveness.
What will you do to become more attentive to the action of Spirit/God in your life and the world?

Traditionally Christians would fast by having only one full meal on Ash Wednesday. They would also fast during the 40 days of Lent & give their extra food to those who needed it. Fasting was having two small meals and only one regular meal.

I invite you to explore how you can practice this tradition in your life.
Some of us will be going on a water fast where we will only drink water instead of soda etc. & will give the money saved to projects that will bring water to those who don't have clean water where they live.

You could do this for a day, three days a week whatever you think you can do. and each time you drank water instead of something else you can use that time to bring your attention to God in your life.

We'll give you some more ideas as our journey continues.
We behold the Christ in you!
