Because I enjoyed this process so much last Lent, I have decided to do it again. As much as I typically do not like writing, reading, or words in general...this process helps me to look deeper into myself, my life, and (most importantly for this) my spirituality.
So, if you so choose, read on for the next 40 days of Lent. If you find it boring...I'm sorry. I hope that you will find it uplifting. I will try to put helpful words of encouragement that I'm finding along the way. I also hope that you will interact and comment back, if you would like.
For Lent, I'm also giving up Facebook creeping (dramatic pause for gasp and horror-ed looks). I know it seems little when I could give up Facebook altogether, but I feel that would be losing touch with a common way my friends communicate. So--to set the parameters for the next 40 days: I can check notifications but will not be going to individual pages to "creep". (on a more selfish note--this is also in boycott of the new facebook "Timeline"---ick, right?) I will hopefully be spending this time in better ways for the next 40 days!
I will also be reading a daily devotional focused for Lent in the next 40 days. But, in reality, this blog will probably include a variety of things going on in my life.
So that's it. That's the background of how this came to be. And, one last explanation of why this isn't just a continuation of last years--- I can't remember the website or email I used to create it. The irony of it is that I posted it a lot to my facebook and having timeline would help me to find it. Oh, the irony.
Happy Fat Tuesday. And, here is to the next 40 days.
