Sometimes the thought of Fat Tuesday offends me... Although any reason to drink is a reason to drink, right? I struggle because it does make me feel judgmental. I guess I think you do something because you want to, or you don't because you don't want too. But maybe it's like everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day.
I've been thinking of things to give up for Lent, and like last year I tried giving up a bad attitude... I don't think I made it a day... I know this year I want to be intentional, and sincere with what I'm giving over to God. After a long thought process, and inspiration I intentionally want to give up my consumerism. I'm hoping this starts the new legacy of actually letting go of the need for "things". So the only shopping I can do is grocery necessities. No junk. No books, music, or movies, which seem to be my down fall.
In the past I have broken the need/habit from Lent, so hopefully in the future I will only buy what I need.
I pray for you and for me that this Lenten season will bring clarity, hope, and a closer understanding with God as we learn to readjust our attention.
