And hey, I'm ...I'm so excited for Lent!!!!! And hey, I'm still in Christmas-mode partially, too! I always keep the tree and Nativity up until Candlemas :) Wow, it sounds like you have a really hardcore Lenten plan, which is awesome. I think it's really cool when people arrange their Lenten plan to help them grow, instead of just doing what "everyone else" does (which is one of the reasons why I don't give up food items anymore). For me, I like to pick one prayer, fast, and almsgiving, so this year the plan is: intentionally set aside 10 minutes of silent prayer/informal Bible reading a day (I had planned to do this for this entire liturgical year, but I keep forgetting to do it, so hopefully the discipline of Lent will help me out haha), no radio in the car (fasting), and write/work on my vocation memoir twice a week (almsgiving; this might seem weird, since it's not anything I'd try to get published, but I've literally been working on this for at least a few years-just as a nice keepsake for my husband and I to have and read when we're old and senile-so I've decided to finally bite the bullet and get it written). And then, I'm sure God will send other lovely things my way, because He likes to do that :) AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.com
