Lent

every year I participate in Lent and give something up. even though being a methodist we technically don't have to do so. I like the challenge, and I think it kind of shows God that I got his back.

typically I give up pop, chips, and ice cream. yes, all three. but this year since I've done a whole lifestyle change and haven't ate a chip or ice cream in a while I thought why even bother?

this year for Lent I'm still going to give up pop, and with that I'm also going to keep my room clean//do an intense cleaning of it. so basically, since my room is a disaster right now, for the beginning of Lent it'll be spent cleaning it. vacuuming, dusting, laundry, etc. and then for the rest of Lent I'm going to keep it clean. no clothes on the floor, no random things in random places. everything must be put away.

and I think I'm going to pray every day. not for myself, but for other people. a different person every day. that sounds like a good plan. hopefully I'll remember to do it. maybe I'll keep something by my bed that I have to check off every night. yea, that sounds good.

I'll update y'all occasionally on how it's going. 

do you participate in Lent?
