Okay, we'll here goes nothing or something. I've decide that I would observe Lent this year. Lent is the 40 days (plus the 6 Sundays throughout the 40 days which actually make it 46 days) before Easter Sunday. For 2009 Lent falls from February 25 to April 11. Lent is suppose to be a time for a person to prepare themselves for the Easter season. Repenting of sin, fasting and prayer. I've been taking stock of what my days look like over the past little while and the one huge obstacle for me at times is the big box that sits in the corner of my living room and pumps me full of entertainment. So confession - I watch way to much TV! Since I've been home on Mat leave, its been even worse. (I think I enjoy the adult conversation.) So can you see where I'm going.... I feel like I should fast from TV for the next 46 days. I should spend that time where I would normally just veg out actually getting some house work done, spending time with Tim and Layla, reading way more or the most important thing
~ Spending time with God~
So why share this with all of you? Well I'm pretty lousy at this. I make commitments to do stuff like this and them break them the next day. I figure if I put this out there now I'll be way more committed because people actually know. So if you would like to follow along with me over this next 46 days lets go, bad grammar and all. I'm going to try and blog everyday (I already know that there are few days I'll miss because we are out of town) I'm really excited to see where God takes me over this next weeks. Don't get me wrong I'm a bit sad about missing LOST and 24 but I then remember " ahh yes real life more important"
Away we go....
