I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
my soul shall exult in my God,
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,
and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up,
so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
to sprout up before all the nations. Isaiah 61:10-11 ESV

 

 This Wednesday (Ash Wednesday) marks the beginning of Lent. If you’re looking for company during the 40 days leading up to Easter, You can download my book, Holey Wholly, Holy: A Lenten Journey of Refinement by signing up HERE, or order a bound version HERE. For another day or two, you can also enter HERE to win a free bound version.

Next week, I will have a list of blogs for you who will be walking through the book together. (Amazing!)

If you’ve never observed Lent before, perhaps you’ll prayerfully consider it this year?
