Last night, many churches recognized the beginning of Lent with Ash Wednesday. Lent, the 6 week season before Easter Sunday, is a practice of prayer and sacrifice which started early in the liturgical church. In 2015, I think it has transformed to mean something different to each denomination – to each individual, really.
I’ve never been one to follow the “giving up” practice too literally. But I do take the time as a reflection, choosing to live my life a bit differently and shake up my routine. This Lent is no different.
I’m taking a blogging hiatus for 40+ days – a mini spiritual retreat in which I will stop focusing on my own words and how they fit inside the internet noise.
I don’t plan to quit reading others’ insights, however, and I’d love to share them with you. Make sure you’ve “Liked” my Nature of a Servant page on Facebook where I’ll post the words of inspirational bloggers I follow today. I may pin a couple of ideas on Pinterest, too.
This Lent promises a few adventures for my family and me as well. Follow along on Twitter @andeezomerman or on Instagram andeezomerman to see what we’re up to.
If you’re just tuning into my pages, here are a few recent posts which mean a lot to me. It will give you a good idea of who I am.

Prayers to you as you head into your own Lenten journey, whatever that may be. I leave you with the meditation flowing through me as I attempt to rid myself of the noise this season.
