Writing Prompt #1: Reflect on Ash Wednesday

 Ash Wednesday Service 2023

A renewal

A renewal of past and present callings - what is God calling me to do now?

It is the one question you can spend your 40 days wrestling with

And Easter?
It's a commissioning.

A renewal

What kind of Godly follower do I want to be?

What does God look like to me at this time in my life?
What part of God do I need to cling to?

I am renewing and strengthening my roots

so I can do the work on her behalf

Grow leaves of justice

Vines of compassion

Branches, like arms, to hold all in love.

Water and tend myself with 

words

ideas

and plans

to do better
