    Repeat After Me

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 18, 2011
     | 3,890 views

    Repetition isn’t rote; it’s practice. All of these words become part of us, digging deep into our hearts and minds, helping to form in us habits of thought and action that honor God, that put God first.

    An invitation to a holy lent, speaking about the desire for revival, and recognizing that revival must be empowered by God, beginning with us (not them).

    Having grown up attending a church that had little to no emphasis on fasting, Ash Wednesday, or the season of Lent, I’ve grown to approach this season with anticipation and trepidation at the same time.
