Summary

One Thing We Love This Week:

Michelle's One Thing - Defender by Rita Springer
Heather's One Thing - Your Love Defends Me by Matt Maher
Sr. Miriam's One Thing - The Winter Olympics Cross Country Skiing
Sr. Miriam's Other One Thing - Heather's Lenten Worship Playlist Discussion Questions:

What does it looks like in my life to become the Beloved in all that I think say and do?
Are there areas in my life where I am listless and bored even though I am busy? What's happening in those areas?
What is the process God has me in to become the beloved? What steps is He taking to open up my heart to Him?

Journal Questions:

How do you use being "busy" as an excuse for growing in your relationship with God and being present to your own life.
When your heart is restless, where or what do you turn to in the world in attempt to satisfy it?
How can you practically make space to listen to the voice of God speaking the truth of your Belovedness? Quote to Ponder:

"Becoming the Beloved means letting the truth of our Belovedness become enfleshed in everything we think, say, or do." - Henri Nouwen

0:30.4	How is it going? How's Lent so far, girl? I'm fine. Except Heather told me I couldn't

0:40.2	we just went through to start the show. You have no idea. Okay. For Lent, Michelle is easy,
0:45.0	but you tell her not to move around and that's like the greatest sacrifice in torture all
0:48.6	times. For Lent, Michelle is sitting still, which is really hard for her. It's so hard. I don't

0:59.7	Lent. I would love to say that I've kept my nose sugar, but I haven't. But I've kept my
