I like to tell others what I am doing during Lent so that I feel obligated to keep up with it, because if someone asks me how it is going... and I haven't been doing it... I'm embarrassed. Lent starts on March 9th this year, next Wednesday. At first, I thought I would give up eating out, while at the same time keeping track of opportunities to eat out, what I would eat, adding that up, and donating it at the end. I still plan to do this, which will be even trickier considering I'll be on spring break starting the 11th, but it will be a good challenge. I also like to do something positive during Lent, not just give something up, because it is a great time to start a good habit. Josh came up with a good goal for me, which I am grudgingly accepting... over Lent I aim to wake up everyday by 8am and spend an hour with the Lord. I have a problem with hitting snooze that I need to break and starting every morning in the Word is always good.
Please keep me accountable, ask me how I'm doing. I would love to do the same for you if you need it during this time.
