Today is an important date. Yes, Wednesdays themselves are always nice-they mean that we're halfway through the week. However, that isn't what I mean today. Today happens to be Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. I've decided to observe Lent this year, in an effort to strengthen my relationship with God and hopefully get a better handle on my life and attitude. An integral part of Lent is giving something up for the forty days of the season, usually something that you cannot easily give up, in the hope of causing you to lean more fully upon God. I've decided to give up all candy, sweets, ect. Since my sweet tooth is highly overdeveloped, this will prove to be slightly difficult, I'm sure. However, I'm convinced that this is the sacrifice God asks of me, and is considerably less than His own sacrifice. Please pray for me throughout this season, as I will unceasingly pray for you, my friends. All my love.
