Doesn't it always seem that when we get wonderful plans laid out, they all fall apart? I was so looking forward to the first week of Lent. I was going to go to church everyday. I was going to fast and pray and write. I was going to be peaceful.
Instead, I got slammed with a virus that gave me a fever, chills, extremely unfeminine sweating, and literally knocked me on my behind. I spent most of this week on the couch sipping broth and watching the Olympics. Now, we are huge Olympics fans, so the last part wasn't all that bad, but I missed going to church. I missed having a clear thought. I missed having the Clean Week I envisioned. I didn't miss out on a good lesson, though. Lent isn't about what we think it's going to be in our little well-crafted spiritual plans. The Christian life is how we react to whatever is thrown at us. Even when we're thrown a curve ball.
So, I'm a bit behind in writing. Here's the next few days of readings, and I'll post the rest of the revision after this weekend and a bit of wrapping things up. I pray that Lent has begun well for you all. Even if it's not quite how you envisioned it!
