I wanted to first thank all of you for being so wonderful. If you are a [Life of Meg] newbie, I am so thrilled that you're here!!
I truly feel so blessed and excited to have each and every one of you join me on my humble little blog everyday!
Now that everyone feels warm and fuzzy, let's get down to business!
{ Let's talk lent. }
For those of you who participate in the Lenten season every year, I must tell you that I am a little stumped as to what to give up this time. I truly want it to be something challenging to me. To give you an idea of what I have sacrificed before, let me give you a little recap...
Last year I gave up any and all desserts. And let me just tell you, I went nuts on Easter!
Other past lent choices were no coffee, chocolate, meat, etc. So, I guess here I am wondering what to give up.
The more I have asked friends/family, the more I've realized that I don't necessarily have to give up something for lent, but I can actually take something on for lent.
So, I thought about it for quite awhile and have come up with a list of potential things to choose to take on for lent:
- Community volunteering once a week
- 25 push-ups and 60 sit ups every night
- Running 50 miles over lent
- Reading 30 minutes before bed
- Doing 2 loads of laundry during the week
- At least a 30 minute devotional before bed
...and so many more!
