Day 15: Trees Today was the Vernal Equinox. We're a full moon + a Sunday away from Easter. 🌚 #BHLent2019 #sunset #trees #treesofinstagram #lent #sky #clouds #photochallenge (at Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvQQd4XHecq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5995uj4q4924
Day 12: Green In this part of Texas, Spring is barely peaking out. It's very brown still but there's tiny peaks of green. Spent so much time at the parish the past few days and this spot is still one of my favorites. In the quiet morning, I felt peace for the first time in a few days. In full transparency, I was already in the middle of trust issues with the Father, and I'm working on it. This past week amplified that, but my relationship with our Mother has been my saving grace. #orapronobis . . . . . . . . #lent #BHLent2019 #catholic #Mary #catolico #immaculateconception #sacredart #prayer #outdoors #march #lubbockdiocese #prayerspot #marianprayer #marianspirituality #VirginMary #catholicfaith (at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvIyaQyHGL7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1abg5w1v6aw3w
This picture looks peaceful and boring but it was an terrible weather day with some winds of 60 MPH a few days ago. I ended up on this very rural road as a detour because the main highway was closed because a semi truck had been flipped over by the wind and it closed the road. This actually happened dozens of times that day. This was in between huge gusts that made the sky Brown and covered the road in tumbleweeds. . . . . . #westtexaslife #westtexassky #flat #texas #westtexasweather #texaspanhandle #sky #flatland #wind #bluesky (at Littlefield, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvF8A9Gn7wc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qa0pm22k8tj1
Day 11: Hospitality My parents have a very natural gift of hospitality that I've always admired. It's incredible to see the care of this community during hard times come back to them and us. It's hard to out into words how much this little parish means to us through all the wonderful celebrations and through the hard times. #community #hospitality #BHLent2019 #lent #Muleshoe #WestTexas #Catholic #catolico #mexicancstholic #church #smalltowntexas (at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvFRDhlnPT1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c7nki74gapv4
Day 9/10: Family I've spent a lot of time reflecting today on my favorite family memories today. This was a special day for all of us, my sister's wedding in 2003. Even though so much has happened since then, days like this keep so many beautiful memories alive. This tragedy reminds me how much more love I have to share with my family and friends. #BHLent2019 #photochallenge #FBF #flashbackfriday #family https://www.instagram.com/p/BvDe5unH5X0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18mabjcl32u48
Day 7: Peaceful Place The background pic is from the bridge part of the trail a few weeks ago. Sunsets are one of my favorite peaceful places. There's a strange poetic beauty in appreciating a day we will never see again. I often sign off my personal messages with "Peace" in English, Spanish, or Latin depending on who I'm addressing. I've been thinking about this word all day. I had a new found peace the last few months but that got complicated again. Maybe it's just another reminder of how we're really not meant for this world. May the souls of the departed rest in peace. #peacefulplace #peace #pax #Lent #BHLent2019 #faith #resquiatinpace #restinpeace #photochallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu73QivHTDW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ghody6ix9qoe
I believe in the power of prayer, and right now my family needs prayers. Just 15 months after burying my niece Carla and her baby Lea, we have to do the same for her sister Laura and her boyfriend Adam. She leaves behind her twins. It breaks my heart that they will have to grow up not knowing their amazing mother. She was beautiful, kind, loving, and strong. We grew up together and she was like a little sister to me. I was so proud of the incredible mother she had been to the girls. This picture is from just 4 months ago when we became the godparents of her nephew Silas. We all had dinner together last week, and it's hard to believe this has happened. I have a hard time accepting that God will allow this, but I have faith that He will get us through it. May God have mercy and His perpetual light shine upon them. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu5CfrVnnQA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k6jeqe1wqs5u
This last week marked my 2 year anniversary of getting back to taking care of my physical health. Back then I couldn't run .25 miles without dieing. Running is only part of my cross training, but it's special to me. I really believe that investing the time physically gives me the energy to handle my hectic schedule the way meditation and prayer help me stay balanced emotional, mentally, and spiritually. Still so much work to do, including my love affair with french fries and Dr. Pepper, but I'm grateful for the incredible people that have inspired me and taught me so much along the way. #runner #running #goals #activelife #mexicanrunners #milestone #run (at Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu2Yn8InWLt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1imx2ksztm7hd
This is from last Sunday when I was visiting my parents and my hometown parish. It's a small parish where everyone eats breakfast together after the 8AM mass. As you can see, I was raised in cowboy culture, but I love the virtues I learned here. The priest is first on top left, the visiting deacon is sitting in front of him, and my dad is 4th from the top left. This picture was actually the priest's idea.😂 He wanted all the men wearing hats in the picture.

Day 4: Lending a hand I didn't serve much today, but I did get helped a lot this morning at this retreat. Sincerely enjoyed the morning.

Day 3: Simple Supper Tortillas are life. Beans and cheese and tortillas are how I make it through Fridays in Lent. . . . . #Lent #BHLent2019 #simplesupper #mexicancatholic #catholic #tortilla https://www.instagram.com/p/Buxb5uanpIx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vcv10z0fcmc
Day 2: My Lenten Promise I sometimes have trouble seeing people for the beautiful creations that they are. Many people are very easy, but then there's the ones that require a little more work. I decided that working on this would be the focus of my Lent. During an EMDR session with my therapist this week, I had a beautiful, unexpected epiphany of how I can do it more consciously, and it had been a radical change in my inner dialogue already. Paradox is one of my favorite words because it requires wrestling with complicated truths. We are living paradoxes that can't be easily contained by labels and boxes, and there's so much beauty in that. This is a design I made for fun a few years back. #MyLentenPromise #BHLent2019 #lent #instalent #photochallenge #paradox #christian #beauty #catholic https://www.instagram.com/p/BuvHA3rnV92/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3hs175tmvuxa

I'm still working on getting better at affirming the people in my life. I'm so grateful for great men in my life that walk with me through the different seasons of life. Gabe has always been an encouraging ear for years, and now I hope to be as much of a cheerleader for him in his artistic endeavours. #friendship #brotherhood (at B. D.

The longer I live away from this place the more fascinated I am with the big sky is in West Texas. Saw this yesterday on my transition onto the Llano Estacado.

End of the World Tour is Gungor's farewell tour and I'm a little sad about it. I've seen them every time they came to Austin, and loved their music through so many changes. So many songs have been very important to me, especially Beautiful Things and Vapor. The first videos are from The Brilliance, another band I love. Their new music is really great at convicting us to action. . . . . #endoftheworldtour #gungor #thebrilliance #atxlivemusic (at Mohawk Austin) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuZX6tln7cb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iw1sfe5r56zr
"Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing You say I am strong when I think I am weak You say I am held when I am falling short When I don’t belong, oh You say that I am Yours And I believe" —Lauren Daigle, You Say I know I'm late to notice this song, but it came on the other day at a restaurant and moved my heart before I even paid attention to the lyrics, then I really listened. I really love it. Sometimes the smallest moments can speak to my heart. After a wonderful night teaching and this song on my mind, this tree spoke to me about grace. . . . . #laurendaigle #oaktree #roundrock #centraltexas #yousay #songlyrics #spiritualinspiration #Christian #identity #texas #grace (at St Williams Catholic Church Round Rock Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuVY9wYHidu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b7u0zer3cnen
