giving it up.

so lent begins tomorrow. this year i've decided to fast from facebook for the 40 days. i figured it was the thing i am supposed to give up when my initial thought was, "omigosh. not facebook."

(usually i've given up my biggest vice for lent -- sweet tea. seeing as i've chosen to give that up for the year of 2012, i've moved on to my next weakness...)

instead, i will discipline myself to spend the time that i would usually be facebooking to studying the Word, praying, and journaling. oh, and continuing to memorize the book of colossians. (i'm 12 verses in...)

however, due to my current living situation (as in, being so far away from home), i will choose to acknowledge sundays as days of rest from my fast. i haven't usually in years past, but things are a little different this time around!

so until then (or at least until next sunday), i'll keep you updated here. or if you feel ever so inclined to email me some encouraging words, a funny story, or just to say hi, you can. (my email address can be found in my profile, just over there to your left.)

are you choosing to fast from anything this lent season?
