Lent is a time, between Ash Wednesday and Easter, when many people give something up to remember what God did when He sent His Son to die for our sins. God gave up His Son...Jesus gave up His life.
At Oso Creek, we are about to start 40 days of Holy Uprising. Check out the website here for more up to date information on that 40 days where we will be focusing on Reflection, Repentance, and Renewal.
I have been praying about what I need to "give up" during this 40 Days of Holy Uprising, or Lent. And, as you may be able to guess from the title of this blog, I have felt convicted to fast from (gasp)Facebook. I spend hours a day on Facebook; playing games, chatting, looking at pictures, etc. I feel like if I can spend that much time on Facebook, why shouldn't I be spending that much time focusing on God? You know? So, as I embark on this journey, I ask for your prayers that God will open my eyes to Him and let me see Him work in extraordinary ways.
Those of you who are friends of mine on Facebook may occasionally see a new "note" appear from my name. That "note" actually is imported directly from my blog. Please feel free to go to my blog to comment---I wont' be checking the comments on Facebook. Also, my boss, Audie will be checking my Facebook every couple of days for any Children's Ministry emails, posts, etc. Please please, just send me a quick email at osocreekkids@gmail.com if you are a Creeker Children's Ministry Volunteer (or if you'd like to be!!). :)
