Most people give things up for Lent. My mom always gives up sweets. My dad always gives up giving up on things (That seems a little silly to me.....almost like it's too easy). A few of my friends are giving up Facebook. I've always found it difficult to give things up for Lent. It's easier for me to add things to my day than give something up. For some reason, adding things in the past to my everyday life was harder than I thought it would be. I've thought a lot about what I can do this year that will help me set an example for my members as well as doing something for myself. So, for this upcoming Lenten season, I'm going to be blogging. I'll be able to talk about what my life is like as a new college graduate trying to make it on my own and give my members a chance at getting to know me a little better than they already do. Since I already carry two cell phones around with me, blogging should be "easy" to do with the right app and allow me to blog from anywhere that has cell phone reception.
Here's to a wonderful Lenten season where we all prepare for the Resurrection of Christ.

This year I'm adding things instead of giving stuff up-- it's my first Lent, so I'm seeing what works best for me!
ReplyDelete-sophomore buddy! :)
Sophomore Buddy! What have you added to your day for Lent? I'm curious to see what others are doing for Lent.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you and for this being your first Lent! This Easter will be your first Easter too! I hope you'll remember your trip to my parents house for Easter this year. We had a lot of fun that year!
