lent

The 40 day journey to the cross that we take every year at lent always yields some of my most spiritual times, though in the midst of it, it rarely feels like it. Usually lent makes me feel a bit crazy - wondering if giving something up or taking on a new spiritual discipline was really that good of an idea.

I find myself struggling with my faith, wondering at points if any of it is worth it and if I really do believe in God but as time moves on and I draw near to Easter I find life starting to spring up in the desert of my lent.

I wonder what this year will bring...
