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.
