Back in the Swing of Things
I am back in the office full time this week and for the most part I am feeling like I did before the surgery except for I don't have the anticipation of surgery hanging over me. Next week i hope to go back to the gym and give working out a try, I really miss it because it enables me to level out the negatives and work toward some reachable goals in a physical manner.
I am glad i have most of my energy back because today begins the season of Lent. It is Ash Wednesday and today I am beginning to head towards Easter in the hope of moving closer to in my relationship with God. Last Sunday I passed out a booklet called the Lenten Challenge in which I challenged the people of the church engage in some serious spiritual direction as they move down the road toward Easter.
There are six challenges , reading the scripture, praying daily, worship regularly, develop accountability, Bless others daily and give sacrificially. These are not easy challenges but are present in order to make me intentional about my Lenten journey of faith.
In each of these challenges God takes a part of our life and turns the focus on the spiritual side of things. A side that if taken seriously, we will be able to move toward a deeper relationship with God.
This will be a challenge for me as well because these things are often pushed aside with a busy schedule. I just need to be faithful in my life and move forward.
It is nice to be back and take the focus of my surgery and place it towards God and drawing closer this season.
