Did you answer that email? Get that assignment done? Don’t forget that appointment! There are chores to be done, places to go, work to complete, and a finish line that seems ever moving. The busyness in our lives and monologue in our minds can be relentless. Is life supposed to feel anxious, rushed, and overwhelming?
Lent is a time of reflection as we approach Easter. During this six-week series we will take time to slow down and see the things we are called to throw off so that we may fully embrace the things of Jesus. Creating space to grow our faith can seem impossible amidst schedules threatening to collapse on us, but this countercultural rhythm of rest is what leads us to abundant life. There is more for us, but we must make room to receive it—will you create space to more fully embrace God’s love?
