Last night was our church's Lenten Reconciliation service.
Tonight, I read this from my friend, Bridget over at the Ivey League.
She shared with me, I am sharing with you.
40 words, let's lay them down.
Frustration, anger, irritability, impatience
Fear, Hopelessness, Shame
Envy, Jealousy, Doubt
Overwhelmed, Distant, Detached
Selfishness, selfcenteredness, Self-absorbed
Judgmental, Self-righteous, Gossip
Fear, Hopelessness, Cowardice
Avoidance, guilt, weariness
Unfocused, Undisciplined, Sloth
Dishonest, Hypocritical, Partial
Distraction, anxiety, despair
Disobedience,Unwillingness, Stubborness
With God's help, after 40 days, maybe I won't pick them up again.
It feels good to write them down and hand them over, doesn't it?

wow that is a list for sure ... a prayer list. Let us encourage each other in this 'journey' of laying down the words.
