Easter: He is Risen

I love the Lent Season. 

To me it is the perfect time to focus on something bigger than ourselves.  Hitting the refresh button and enjoying faith, family and friends.

This year for Lent I decided to give up shopping. I have a closet full of clothes, but always seem to want something new. So I took this time to be grateful forwhat I have. 

Jared and I are so blessed with all that we have: our love, our health, our family, etc. These 40 days and nights of reflection helped me also rediscover outfits, read more, and spend more time with friends. I didn't buy a new outfit for each event during these 40 days which in the past has been the norm for me. 

Jared asked me what I was going to buy now that Lent has come and gone. I've thought about it and first before I buy something new I am going to go through my closet again and give my gently used items to someone who could benefit from receiving them. 

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Matthew 28:6
