Soul-Work

Sometimes it's hard (ok...most times) to quiet my spirit.  To not think about all the things I have going on and start going through my emails and to-do list before my QT with GOD.  I'm a work in progress.  So today I sit in my hotel's lobby at 7:45 AM and quiet my being in order to have do some soul-work before I start work-work.

It is well with my soul.  

In Sacred Space today I liked this:   I attend to the shadows and what they say to me, seeking healing, courage, forgiveness. 

My shadows are impatience and busyness.  Not necessarily being too busy but filling my empty time to the extreme with things that aren't soul-worthy.  In saying this I finally figured out what I want to give up for Lent.  Internet TV shows, especially on Hulu.  I watch way too many shows on here.  

I'm learning about Lenten Season, a liturgical practice that I'm unfamiliar with.  I attended Ash Wednesday's chapel at work and was reminded that this is a time to really consider what Christ did for me by dying on the cross and rising again.  And that I need to slow down my spirit in order to be centered on Him.  

So, today will mark my decision to abstain from Internet TV shows so that I can learn to focus on going deeper with God.
