the lenten journey

this lenten journey has been about self-discovery. 40+ days of learning as the Holy Spirit has guided my thoughts and words.

right now i am Peter. that is my discovery. and yet - through my repeated study of 1,2 + 3 John I want to be like John. well, i want to be like Jesus - but i am drawn to John's humanness and through which the Spirit guided him to teach and lead through love.

But i am seeing that i am a pre-Pentecost Peter. bold at times - but cowardly at the times when i need to be vocal. i guess deep down i don't like confrontation. But the Spirit is working within me and has given me words that in time i will share with those who need to hear it. it will be a challenge that i willing accept.

God has placed some words on my heart. I anxiously await the time when he wants me to share them.

and so this journey of self-discovery has brought out new revelations.

I am drawn to the dust of Jesus. I am excited to learn more and more what it means to be his disciple - so that my garment will be covered with his dust.

the Spirit has been faithful even when i have not.

my last goal of this lenten season is to focus not on myself - but on Jesus and His sacrifice that will be remembered this weekend. for that, i don't have words...
