It is so weird how excited I get about Lent. It is basically like the Catholic New Year...we make resolutions to make ourselves better people of God and ultimately...we are to carry out our resolutions through the rest of our lives and not just the six weeks of Lent. Sometimes it happens and sometime we fail and have to start over again. Either way, we are continuing to grow...I'm continuing to grow.
Although, I'm a little nervous about this coming weekend. It's Koinonia and I'm trying not to go into the retreat w/ too many expectations. I am really trying to seek clarity in my life and to discern where exactly I'm suppose to be going in these next few months. I guess I'm hoping that this retreat will help me refocused and ultimately find an answer...However, the closer the retreat comes the more I realize that it will most likely be something completely different than what I expect. So I'm trying to stay open about the whole experience and trust that HE will bring me peace..."My peace I give to you"...
So while I'm still confused...life does has those little joys...beautiful weather. Who could have asked for a more glorious day yesterday for Ash Wednesday? 77 degrees...wow.

We had a great time parading in, singing and hugging anything that moved last night...well, maybe not the 2 hour hug fest...
Sorry we were almost late. Stupid mudpit...
