This special bonus message for this week was prepared for Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the season of Lent, which is the 40 days plus Sundays leading up to Easter. It is a time of preparation, of self-reflection, and self-examination, as we look at our lives to see what has been holding us back. This message is about patience and waiting. It's about thinking through why God seems to act slowly in our lives and understanding the larger purpose He has for our lives.
