It&#8217;s 40 days (not including Sundays).  \nIt&#8217;s a season of preparation for Easter.  A time of reflection.  I&#8217;ve \nbeen wondering what I was going to do this year.  Every year is a bit \ndifferent.  Many times I give something up as a prompt for prayer.  \nSometimes I add things, a service that I can give as an offering or a \ndiscipline to put into practice.  This year I&#8217;m joining with a group \ngoing through a book called Inhaling Grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p align=\"justify\">The challenge is to find  a way to combat the hurry and busy of our lives.  I&#8217;ve been restless  lately and I know that when I slow down and make space for creativity  (rather than just focusing on productivity) then my whole life becomes  more reflective, more prayerful and less harried.  In this way I  experience more grace and less striving.  So I made myself this creative  challenge.  If anyone wants to join me I&#8217;ve love to have you share in  the journey with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"792\" height=\"612\" src=\"https:\/\/landofmysojourn.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/UnhurriedLent.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/landofmysojourn.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/UnhurriedLent.jpg 792w, https:\/\/landofmysojourn.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/UnhurriedLent-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/landofmysojourn.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/UnhurriedLent-768x593.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p align=\"justify\">I&#8217;ll be sharing here, which will also help me get back into blogging more than book reviews, though there might be a short disruption as I&#8217;m moving hosting companies.
