Lent

Today is the first day of Lent. I had to try to think of something to give up for Lent this year. Last year, I gave up pop for the 40 days. At the beginning of this year, I gave up drinking any kind of pop. Why? I thought it would help with losing weight and my general "healthiness". So, what do I give up this year for Lent? I decided to give up laziness. Yep, you got it! Laziness! I am now "making" myself workout in some form or fashion for 30 minutes a day. (If you are reading this and wondering if I have done my 30 minutes today, the answer is yes).

Lent is a great time to give up something that you love or like a lot and reflect on God everytime you "crave" that something. When I want a pop, for example, that is the time I pray and reflect on what He has given me in my life. I challenge you all to "give up" something, if it's for Lent or not. It's worth it!
