40 Days of Seeking Him in Lent 2014, Week 6

I have been, or can be if you click on a link and make a purchase, compensated via a cash payment, gift, or something else of value for writing this post. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

 

 

There are times when I think God sends obstacles into our lives to make us pause and evaluate how we are living.  Last week I had to switch gears a bit as Sunday afternoon the 4 year old had a fever hit and stay with him for a few days.  That meant a lot of snuggle time as he just wanted to curl up with his mama. 

It was also testing week for my 5th and 8th graders and my 5th year helping to facilitate testing for our homeschool entity.  So, I spent several hours each day on my feet with lots of mental energy expended working the dismissal room.

Once Saturday arrived, I felt the weight of work undone and the physical pain radiating from my feet to my lower back.  Instead of playing catch up on work which would mean hours on the computer, I made the conscious choice to gear up and go for a ‘hike’ with the family to enjoy the fresh air.  (I’ll share more photos later this week.)

Taking time away from the electronic traps of modern life has me yearning for more time in real life and less online.  So, I am going to be making conscious choices about how many reviews I’ll be doing on the blog and how much time will be dedicated to doing online work.  It won’t be easy to break the habits formed, but I feel that God is calling me to do it.

 

 

How is your Lenten experience going so far?

Have you found a particular devotion or practice to be helpful in bringing your mind to Christ and growing in relationship with Him this Lent?

I hope that my readers will join us on the journey through Lent as we seek to grow closer to Christ.  Christian bloggers are welcome to join us in the weekly link up with posts that they are writing to showcase activities or reflections taken during this Lenten journey.
