Lent
This is just a quick post, at about 2:03 am on Feb 18th I have decided to give up something for Lent. What will be challenging for me with this Lent sacrifice is that I am not giving up a physical thin necessarily, but I am going to work to give up spending my time and money on me. I am still prayerfully considering what this will look like, but I have some ideas.
I will not be spending money to buy food for myself only. Now I could get legalistic with this, but that is not the idea. What I mean is that if I am buying groceries for my family, thats fine. If I go out on a date and we are going to a resturant I will buy food for them and for myself. What this also means is no buying sodas for myself when I am at work, no buying snacks, I need to plan ahead and have food and drinks where I am going of be happy eating and drinking water (yes I know technically its not eating water, unless its ice).
This also means that the new snow pants/jacket I wanted to buy is out the window. The LED flashlight, not for me. New videoo games, even when using RewardZone points so as I am not paying for them, no more. I am committing to not by myself anything for the next 40 days. How will I do, I don’t know. I am however, incredibly excited and scared to see what amazing lessons God has for me in this experience.
