"wherever you go"

A week and a half into Lent... how are we all doing? The past several days have been even crazier than usual for me - which seems to happen often during Lent - and this year is, thus far, no exception. 


And of course, the only day I want a turkey burger or a sausage breakfast burrito is... Friday. 


But other than that, life in the Lenten desert is moving forward, one day at a time. I hope and pray that all of you are moving forward in your journeys, at peace. 


At Stations of the Cross this evening, I found myself reflecting on the idea that God became man to give us the example of His love - ultimate love - sacrificial love - knowing that some of us would still reject that gift. He chose to pursue us, knowing that some would run away. On the way home afterward, I was listening to Audrey Assad's new album, and I'll leave you this evening with lyrics from her song, "Wherever You Go" - which is about how God pursues us, wherever we go:

"... I'm coming for you, wherever you go.

Across the sea, the space between, 

everything you think you know, 

the things you keep and bury deep 

underneath the melting snow, I'll follow..." 

+peace, and all good, friends.
