Day 27 (Late)

I've been doing my Scripture reading mid-morning with Ben and Kyrie during the Lenten season. Sometimes I'll start ruminating on what I've read and not really have any coherent thoughts until I'm in bed for the night. Other times I'm so busy I can't get to blogging what I'm thinking. Regardless, even though I'm having trouble fulfilling this commitment technically, I have found it to be really helpful. It has just helped me to incline my heart and thoughts toward God even as I make meals, feed a baby, and keep Kyrie from destroying the house.

Yesterday we read about the Mount of Transfiguration and the disciples nearly comical response to the overwhelming awesomeness of God. I love what Scripture says about Peter. Elijah and Moses are talking with Jesus and Peter jumps in with his idea to make three tabernacles so they each could have one. And Mark says, "...because he did not know what to say..." (Mark 9:6a). And upon this stupidly fallible foundation, the Church was built.

I can relate to Peter. Running my mouth when I have no idea what I'm talking about. When I should be listening. That could describe my prayer life in a nutshell.

But mainly I just needed to laugh and remember how much Jesus loves us with all of our flaws. And that he can truly change us and make us so much more than we are.
