lent

so i gave up facebook for lent. this was not my original plan. my original plan was to add something for lent and not give anything up. i was going to add consistent daily quiet time to each day during lent and hopefully carry that on into the future. but as ash wednesday approached i felt god prompting me to give up facebook. so i decided to go for it. on tuesday my status declared that i was giving up facebook for lent. as soon as i posted that status i panicked. now i really have to do it! i can't get out of it now because i just told everyone! so tuesday night around 11pm i signed on for the last time for fourty days. i logged off and let out a big sigh. well today is day 4 and i'm still alive :) i actually haven't missed it that much. however-i now realize how much we rely on facebook to communicate. i've already been unaware of several things that are happening because i'm not on facebook. i've had a few phone conversations that led to "oh that right! you're not on facebook..."
but right now i want to communicate with god more than anyone else (no offense to my peeps!) so i think this will be a very positive thing. i also haven't had any trouble finding time for quiet time with god...this is not surprising!

i hope you all are enjoying the season of lent as well!
