Lenten Reflection: Living Out the "To"

Today is the start of Lent. Most people's favorite holidays in the Christian calendar are Advent and Christmas, however for me Lent and Easter take the cake. Many decide to give up something for 40 days, others decide to try something new; either way it's about making a conscious and intentional change in your life. 

A common verse that is reflected on during this season is Genesis 3:19, and it goes something like this: 

....for dust you are and dust you shall return 

The whole idea of  "ashes to ashes, dust to dust" is a call to action to live out the TO. What are we going to do between to live out our purpose and story? What conscious and intentional choices are we going to make?  This call to action resonates strongly with me and that's why I admire the season of Lent so fondly.
