Day 40: February 9, 2016 Lent

Day 40   Lent

Lent, forty days before Jesus died, is a time I have never observed with any sort of intentionality. I did not know it commemorated the beginning of Jesus's fasting in the wilderness. You wonder, how could I not know that? Sandi Tronoski I can actually hear you grown. 

I intend to observe Lent this year. Erin Bale sent this to many of us women: Lent. Tomorrow with women from IF:Gathering I will also fast. 

God so loved the world that He sent His only son to die. He does not need me to observe Lent. Everything that He needed me to do was done. His son did it. My call to observe Lent has everything to do with my need and my desire to focus on the essentials! Not His.
