you are dust, and to dust you shall return      genesis 3:19

happy lent!  today marks our lenten journey and i am super excited for this {woo!}.  a time to be more reflective on our relationship with God, repentance, and penitence.  choosing what to fast from is an intimate decision.  it is what is most important to you and what sacrifice(s) you are willing to bestow.

this time allows me to think about how i can be better.  how i can change myself to have a more fulfilling life in terms of giving back, forgiving myself, others, and living my life as an extension of His teachings.  definitely easier said than done.  i try to do my best but i have my everyday mishaps.

st. clement church and it’s community is a place where i call home.  father ken, who married us, is an amazing man.  i adore him.  he has inspired me to grow my faith, self reflect,  and give back in so many ways.  the sense of belonging is immense and there are so many outlets there to do something better for the surrounding communities.

i am thankful to have found this church, this parish, and the ignited self discovery path i have been on.
