Lent

I am doing ok.  Been a rough two weeks.  This week was rough for two reasons:
 
1.  work
2. Lent
 
I don’t want to have a shollow Lent.  I always want this to be a time when I truly do get closer to my Savior, rekindle that love relationship, and center myself on Jesus.  Why is that so hard? I struggled with what to give up for Lent because the idea is to suffer, right?  So, I am giving up my midmorning and afternoon snacks, as well as my cream and sugar in my coffee.  When I say it out loud (or write it) these things seem so shallow but I know how much I depend on my snacks and my yummy coffee to get me through to the next part of the my day.  My hope is that when I get hungry, or not get my sweet lovely coffee (honestly, it’s not that sweet but I really don’t care for it black), that I focus on Jesus and the huge things He did to get me to the next part of my ETERNITY.
