Lent + Easter is the time of year that always brings so many emotions to the forefront of my daily life.
The time of year in which I am reminded: things take time, we don’t always know the answers to why God does some of the things he does, and that we ARE good enough. He loved us enough to let his own Son die on the cross for us.
The Lenten season is about taking the time to remember Jesus in the wilderness, his time of being human. That we are spiritual beings experiencing humanness just like Jesus did in his short time here on Earth is both terrifying + freeing-
If we begin to look at life though this lens that Jesus was a spiritual being experiencing humanness, it makes the gap smaller + the curtain more transparent for us today. We can begin to see how each of us is good enough to be loved just for Who. We. Are.
There are no races you have to win, no dollar amounts you have to reach; you don’t have to climb the corporate ladder, or be the richest person on the planet. You are just called to be YOU.
I hope you were able to find clarity, community, and some calm this Lenten season and that Easter is the sun rising + the stone being rolled away bringing new life and restoration to you.
If this is a sad or difficult time for you, know that you are not alone + if you need someone to reach out to, I’m here!
Happy Easter, friends!
