the lenten post for ash

what wikipedia said: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/lent

i am not really sure this year what is going to happen these next 40 days. being raised episcopal lent is always a huge time to give something up and since i havent fully decided besides being a good steward of my money i feel like instead of taking something away i want to add something...

i will decide within the next few days what i am going to add but i know that it will be something along the lines of a deeper understanding/devotion for God. i am yearning for more...as i am unsettled and unfocused. i feel like my heart is heavy for something i am just not sure what and there is no real way to explain this feeling unless you have felt it. i am doing fine a little stressed but that will be over soon enough but something more is weighing in on me and i pray it will slowly change into the weight of His glory...

some widgets we shall call them

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”

I Said where you been, he said ask anything
Where were you?
When everything was falling apart
All my days were spent by the telephone
It never rang
And all I needed was a call
That never came
To the corner of first and Amistad

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

......may he lead me into what's next.
