Easter! A Progress Report

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

So Lent didn’t turn out the way I thought it would be. There were a lot of struggles, but also a lot of lessons learned along the way. 

The wonderful thing about Easter is that it’s a time of celebration and redemption, to remember that death isn’t the end-all, be-all. At Mass, Catholics renew their baptismal vows. It reminds us of what we chose to believe in and what we are all striving for.

To make a long blog post short, I know I should’ve done better in my daily updates. But I am happy with what I did write. And there will be more writing to come for this blog in the future. During Lent, I learned a lot about humility and patience and during Easter, I will put what I learned to practice.

Sneak preview: I will be doing a series of posts called “Eat, Pray, Love: The Catholic Version.” Watch the trailer for the movie and you’ll get a hint as to why I’m going to do this. I will tell you right now that I’m not gonna go to Italy or India or Bali. Come back to this blog Thursday and join me on my journey.
