Today is the start of Lent, the 40-day journey to the Cross. This year’s theme for the Marble Women’s Ministry Lenten Blog is Cultivating Courage. This Lent, the MWM will explore cultivating courage in our lives through sharing stories, recognizing God’s presence, drawing upon the strength of Christ, and inspiring others to act in faith. Inspired by two scriptures and a lovely children’s book, we look forward to taking you on this journey.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
I was inspired by the book “When You Are Brave” by Pat Zietlow Miller. Here is the link: Listen to a reading of the book, “When You Are Brave.”
Our blog will scale back to three days per week, plus the holy days, so we will share additional ways to connect this Lent.
More Ways to Grow Deeper this Lent
As we scale back, we wanted to share additional ways to grow deeper this Lent. All of these opportunities are available online, so wherever you are, feel free to join the Marble Collegiate community online.
