trying to figure out lent all over again

It’s been a very eventful week…in fact, I just learned what it’s like to be dumped. Twice. On consecutive days.

I’m working on this project and the people I’ve been trying to interview have been…inconsistent. I was left wondering whether this was even worth it; me rushing out around lunch time, waking up extra early, working till late…and I’m convinced that the One up there is trying to teach me patience.

This week has made me realize (probably yet again) that much learning comes from waiting. It comes in those times where you feel so abandoned that you’re not even sure what your head is thinking and what your heart is feeling. But alas, if you persevere, if you’re desperate enough – you begin to realize that there is a very clear reason why you’ve stuck to your guns.

This busy week has not been good for my lent reflection…and other than my fasting commitment through Streams of Justice, I have yet to figure things out. As I ran through certain things in my head….I would bar them off as either too easy or too complicated.

I’ll be doing something in relation to spending less…I have yet to determine the exact rules to abide by.
