Ep.17 Let’s Face It Lent can be Rough(How to Start to Feel Better About It)

Beauty Advice Made Simple - Skincare, Makeup - & More For Christian Women

It happens to all of us - It seems like Lent has a particular way of “sneaking” up on us every single year. No sooner are we finally able to catch our breath from the beautiful yet hectic Season of Christmas, THEN - Lent comes up and smacks us across the face!

“I’M HERE!” It cries. UGH. Needless to say - we feel anxious (maybe even a little upset) because we just don’t feel READY.

I have been in your shoes. I AM in your shoes!

This year it felt like Lent came WAY too quickly for me, and I started to feel bogged down and even RESENTFUL (If I am being 100% honest!)

It’s hard not to feel anxious and worried that we are not going to be able to keep our Lenten promises to ourselves and to God - whether it’s fasting, or abstaining from things like sweets, alcohol or binge watching trashy content on the internet. I mean, really Lord? Life is hard enough and I am already trying to do my best to live according to Your Word, and now I gotta give up YouTube or Netflix too?! Trust me I have been there.

But what if we approached Lent Differently? In this episode, I’d like to share with you a mini transformation I underwent while reading the Book of Leviticus during my Bible in a Year Reading plan this past February.

What started as reading pages and pages of mind numbing archaic Jewish Law -started being about something different - when I started to look at it as a journey following in Jesus’ footsteps, AND His special LOVE for me!

Just as our Lord spent 40 days in the desert preparing for his ministry in the New Testament, he has already prepared a Lenten model for me to follow - so I don't have to think too much about it. And JUST when I feel like I can’t hold on because I don’t feel worthy or even worthy of His Love- he revealed himself again through the OLD Testament. And what seemed like crazy detailed laws and regulations on the Israelites and their way of life - translated itself into a message for me - now - today- as someone worthy of every second of HIS time and attention.
I wish that for you, that you KNOW He Loves you and you are worthy of every second of his time and attention. Why. Because that is the way it is! We were created in His love and to share His Love.

Enjoy the episode, and I hope it helps you if you find yourself having a “moment” this Lent. God Bless you,

Love Jennifer
