Into the quiet

The penitential season of Lent is upon us.  These upcoming forty days are important for me to prepare for the Glorious Resurrection.  Each year I approach this sacred season with intent and purpose of deepening my relationship with Christ.   That being noted, I am going to fast from unnecessary social media.   I am choosing not to be involved with Facebook or Instagram.  I do not have a twitter account so that is easy.  Lol!   

 If you wish to contact me, please do so via email or texting my cell.  And yes, if you so desire to write me a letter, by all means do!   Hand written cards and notes are still beautiful to receive.  

Living with chronic M continually teaches me the value of quiet and simple.  The world says be louder, bigger, faster, consume more, and run to get to the top. I get weary trying to keep up with the world’s standards.  I am thankful that I no longer wish to do so.  God has given me that gift.  

 I wish to tune out and tone down this Lent.   

I desire to dig deeper into God’s Word as well as dig deeper into my prayer life.  

I will resume blogging after Easter.   

Wishing all of you a most blessed and grace-filled Lent.

  3. Lisa,
    Tune out and tone down....love it. How better to focus on what Christ did for us...what He went through than to block out the clamor of the world?? I've really cooled it with social media lately and have started reading through the Bible again and it is so much more refreshing for my soul. Be blessed during this quiet time my friend!!
    Love you,
    Bev xoxo

    1. Yes it is refreshing. I think it is too easy to get caught up in everyone else’s lives which takes away from connection with God. How did social media get to be so addictive? 😬. Blessed Lent my friend. 😊✝️
