Well we are in our second week of lent. By this time we have made our promises to God to fast, serve more, give up something, help others more, not eat sweets, pray more, exercise and on and on. How is that going for you?
Lent is a time for reflection, a time to draw us nearer to the Lord. A time for us to reflect on how we can make Christ a more intimate part of our lives. I often think Lent should be about the sacrifice. Trying to understand what Jesus did for us, dying on the cross. The love and sacrifice he demonstrated was something we should all strive to do in our lives.
So when we think about how we are living out our Lenten journey we really need to be honest about where our journey has been and where we want to go. The walk with Jesus these 40 days should bring us to a point in our relationship with Him that is different than it was once we began. How well do you know Jesus and how much are you willing to do to make your relationship with him better and stronger?
Many churches have given out Matthew Kelly's book rediscover Jesus. Offering people a chance to think about where their journey is taking them. Below is a link where you can go to get a free copy of this book. All you pay is $5.95 shipping and handling.

One of my favorite Lenten songs is Lamb of God by Twila Paris. Take a moment to listen to the beautiful words.
If you have already started your journey and feel you are making strides to know Jesus better this Lent that is wonderful.. If you have not, remember you still have 37 more praying days until Easter. Wishing us all a fruitful journey.
Blessings
