Hey friends! Join me this week as we take a little break from the Weary Mama Series to talk about Lent and how we can use this season to fast from the things that are distracting us from God.

If you are anything like me, as moms, we can get so overly busy and distracted that our daily hustle pulls us away from time with God and the closeness He desires for us to have with Him. We unpack Luke 4:1-13, the account of Jesus who after fasting for 40 days and 40 nights in the desert is then tempted by Satan. What a powerful reminder to us to be on our guard and to continue to stay in God's word as our weapon against the schemes of the devil.

Account can be found in Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13

If you struggle with knowing the Bible is true and valid, here are some great sources I have read over the years that have helped me:

The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis

Cold-Case Christianity by J. Warner Wallace

Obviously, there are more out there, but these are a great start.

As you ponder this week's topic, ask yourself as you go into this Lenten season, "what is something that is distracting me from having time with God?" And then I challenge you to be intentional about trying to change that. Lent is a beautiful time to posture our hearts back to God, to remove the things that are pulling us away from Him and dive deeper into fellowship with Him.

I love you friends and am always here praying for you and cheering you on!
