After attending the Wednesday Noon Prayer and Meditation for the Lenten season for the past six weeks, Pastor Selover ask me to share what this season meant to me. I was out of full-time work for 2 1/2 years. Then when I did get a job, a month later my hours were cut and now I am part-time. This Prayer and Meditation is something I wanted to do for years but "Life" seem to get in the way. This year, I made a commitment to myself to attend the Prayer and Meditation and I did it. The time exceeded my expectations and the time helped me spiritually. So what does the Lenten season mean to me? Like life, it is a journey filled with love, hope, faith, joy, sorrow and many lessons to learn. It also represents new beginnings, the sun after the storm. More than ever, this Lenten season coincides with my new journey. I am forty-seven, our children are grown and moved on, our sick loved ones we cared for have gone home, and it is time to live and invest in myself. I am back in school; I am working; I am attempting to deal with the food allergies and intolerance that have developed; and I'll see what tomorrow brings. Whatever it brings, I'm grateful for all of my blessings; and as hard as things can get, I do believe God will not give me anymore then what I can handle.
