Holy week started with Palm Sunday a few days ago. Jesus came riding in on a donkey as our prince of peace. Today I went to my first Passover Supper, just as Jesus did the day before he was crucified. Tomorrow is Good Friday. The day that God gave his only son, Jesus, to to be sacrificed on a cross to give me life. And three days later, He ROSE again victorious! This is my favorite time of year. It is special to me for so many reasons. I am humbled and reminded of my sin, and how vast the love of Christ. Also it is SO important to me because, 14 years ago tomorrow I asked Jesus in to my heart. My life has not been the same since.
During this season of Lent, my focus word was cleanse. I wanted to cleanse my body and my spirit. I have been convicted that my body is a temple, and I need to treat it as so. Through this process I have learned how important what I eat really is. God designed me for a purpose, and I have to fuel myself properly to fulfill that purpose.
Knowing how to treat my body to fulfill God's purpose is just the beginning. I have also been praying that God would show me what exactly that purpose is. During this season of lent, I have realized that God does not usually show us His entire plan. Often we barely even get to see a piece of His plan. I have been praying that God would open my eyes to show me what direction he wanted me to go, and He did. I have NO idea what God has in store for me. But God has made clear the next step. I have been applying to seminary to start the journey towards vocational ministry. I have no idea what that will look like, or where I will end up. I am scared and I am excited.
This season of Lent has started a whole new season of my life. I have support from an AMAZING husband, and God has blessed me with encouraging family and friends.
I will keep you posted on my journey.
