I know what many of you are thinking. “Isn’t a bit late to start your ‘Lenten’
blog?” Yes, it’s true. I haven’t posted anything for almost the
entire first week of Lent, but that was intentional. I decided that I wanted my Lenten discipline
this year to be more sustainable. As I
mentioned last year, I am not a big fan of writing. If I’m going to make blogging a regular and
sustainable part of my life outside of Lent, I need to find a way that works
better for me during Lent.
When I first started this blog, my goal was to blog every
day (except Sundays) in hopes that I would be in the habit of blogging by the
time Lent was over. Because I’d been
blogging almost every day for a month and a half, I should have been able to
keep up the habit. Instead, I found that
I got so tired of writing by the end of Lent that, when Easter came, not only
did I rejoice in the resurrection of our savior, I rejoiced because I no longer
“had” to come up with something to write.
This year, I've decided that I am going to make it my Lenten discipline
to post to this blog a minimum of once a week, with Tuesday being my set day to
post. Here we are at the first Tuesday
in Lent, and a post is up. Go me!
I hope you’ll join me this Lent (and hopefully at regular
intervals afterward) as I continue on a path toward a deeper relationship with
God. There’s no telling what will happen
in this journey. Maybe I’ll help others
on their own spiritual journey. Maybe I’ll
provide a good jumping off point for a discussion to be had in the comments
section or in people’s lives outside of this blog. Maybe I’ll add little more than a few extra
kilobytes of data to the web. Whatever
the outcome, I’m excited about the trip.
