Lent

So it's the 2nd day of lent. I've never really given anything up for lent before or added something on for these 40 days. I've thought about it a lot this time around and think that it would be a great challenge for me to give something up or to add on. It would help me in refocusing my attention back on Christ. It would help to put things in perspective and to reflect on what Christ has done for me, and what I can sacrifice so that I can be reminded of the price he paid for my sin.
So I tossed around many things to give up that would be a challenge...internet/ computer, chips and even tying my hair back (I know that would be the biggest challenge) then I realized that it would be great to ADD ON. So even though my one word (resolution) is to LOVE ... for lent I would like to really focus on LOVE...being LOVE. I want to live & speak love. I want to also focus on being love life and more importantly being thankful...ever grateful for the blessings I've been given.
I will try to post each day. And finish my blog post with something that I am thankful for.
I pray that these 40 days will be a challenge..and mostly I pray that I will change.

"Create in me a clean heart oh God, and renew a right spirit within me...restore unto me the joy of thy salvation"

I am also challenging myself to read through the book of Proverbs...and also the book "Faith Begins At Home" by Mark Holmen

Thankful for Christ, His love and what it means to me!
