Changing direction

 Friday in the Third Week of Lent

As for me, O Lord, I cry to you for help;

in the morning my prayer comes before you.

Psalm 88:14

The sun hits the morning mist, refracting into sparkling light. Beautiful. And a result of a change in direction as the light hits the water and slows.

In the middle of this trek through this season, as obligations and planning begin to claim my focus, perhaps it is a good reminder for me: slow down and change direction.

I do not want to miss the learning, healing, and reconciliation offered by living into a holy Lent. I want to place myself in the path of God’s light and be changed.
