The Times they are a moving, quickly

So the last several weeks at EVVC we've been consentrating on being intentional to think about the death and resurrection of Jesus. On Saturday nights we have walked through ideas like giving up or giving in, confession, devotion and this week humility. For this season of Lent I opened my big mouth and was challenged to give up one of first loves, coffee. And this has been an absolutely wonderful and grounding experience for me personally. Time is flying by here, and there's a ton of stuff on my plate to do. Seems like it's hard to even catch my breath, or turn my mind off. BUT then there's this Lent thing, and I am not kidding, multiple times a day, I want some coffee and then I stop to think. I take a deep breath, and I think about the cross, that Jesus gave it all for me, and I find moments of centeredness and deep calm. Reflecting on the price that was paid seems to be impacting my heart, and despite the rush of life there are pockets of grace throughout my day. :) May you experience His presence and find the moments to reflect on His great love for you
