I'm back! A few observations from my blogging hiatus:
1. A lot happens in 40 days. Some really good, some really bad. Looking back on all the things have happened since the start of Lent (things that I might want to write about/post pictures of or things that I would consider "major events") I'm just amazed at all that occurred during that little window of time.
2. Discipline is not my strong suit. My plan was to take away one of the things that typically fills up my evenings (reading/writing blogs), and instead spend at least some of that time with prayer. I did OK at that. I started off strong but by the last two weeks, the regularity of my prayer time was spotty at best.
3. The best part was having space. Nothing magical happened during my Lenten experience. I didn't hear any audible voices from heaven. But, removing something from daily routine gave me more space. And space was just what I needed over the past month to process some really hard things.
4. If it's not one thing, it's another. My go-to vegging-out activity often involves some sort of electronic device. If it's not TV (canned that about 2 years ago), it's computer time. If it's not computer time, it's watching something on Netflix. I really wish my go-to down-time activity would be to check-in with my Maker. Anyone know how to remedy this (other than a swift kick in the pants!)?
5. It's been so fun to catch up on all my favorite blogs over the last few days. I missed them! And I've missed you! Won't you drop me a line and say hello?!
