For Lent this year, it's not so much about what I am giving up but what I am doing. I am sacrificing for sure, I am giving up listening to music on my drives to and from work but it's what I'll be doing in place of that that's key to me.
I want to turn my old, worn down 96 Jeep into an old worn down mobile prayer closet. I want to commune with God both to and from my job. I want to surround my working day with his presence. I want to give everything that happens during the day to him. I want to lay all of my thoughts and dreams and desires and fears and sadness and gladness and apathy and brokenness and love at his feet. Let him accept it as my sacrifice, as the product of my labor as a human. Let him burn up what he can't use and build up what he can. Let him tear my alters down let him rip me apart from the inside out till all that is left is what pleases him.
He has already begun so many changes in me and it's exciting and frightening all at once. I don't know where this will lead or what, if anything, will come from this but my hope is nothing more than to have a deeper sense of his presence in my life. To invite God to be my heavenly father, to invite Jesus to be my brother and friend, to invite the holy spirit to inspire and instruct me. To commune with them.
