I gove out blankets food and bibles and help whoever I can by the leading of Jesus. We must never forget all that Jesus did for us to suffer so much and die for us and is still fighting and grieving for us. Lent and all year long is very important to me to pray even more for everyone in need and help more and ask God to help me change things I need to change and be the best person I know to be to be the hands and feet of Jesus in love 1st corintians 13 God bless you always love and prayers Alice

“It is good to remember that my generation did not start Christianity (which means that we probably will not be the death of Christianity as well) and that centuries of faithful souls who looked and spoke and acted differently than me laid a foundation that I now stand upon.”

Thank you! Looking forward to this journey together.

Thanks Alicia for the chance to do Lent different!
Blessings,

I am spending time in John 12 soaking in the heart of Mary that anointed Jesus. Looking forward to the journey together. Kicking off the study on Ash Wednesday at noon!! Excited! I am preparing by fasting in several ways that are not typically my routine. Fasting sound, some foods, and some words (criticism). Deeper and slower feels great

I am excited to focus my heart and life around the resurrection of Jesus and celebrate this springtime of Lent!

I am already excited to begin the study, as the beginning of the book has already touched my heart as it was so relevant to where my family has been the past few years.
