Lent me your ears...

So today is the start of Lent.

I never practiced Lent before. I thought it was something Catholics did and to me didn’t seem to be relevant in my life. 

This year I came to some conclusions.

One of them is that I don’t want to waste the time God has given me.

This year I have been given a gift from God…Time home with my baby.

I was 99% sure that I would have a job where I would work from home and successfully juggle work, motherhood, wifedom and whatever else there is out there.

Wellllll, I still don’t have a job…my plan has NOT gone the way I planned it out it AT ALL!

So I'm home with my baby and I love it…and I don’t want to waste it.

I want to hear from God anything he might be saying to me.

I want to be ready for anything God has planned for me.

So I had to remove a big distraction…TV.

This year, during the Lent season, I am not turning the TV on until 630pm…(that’s when World News with Brian Williams comes on :)

I am left with less noise in the house.

Which leaves me with some thoughts…I need to curb my thoughts and be sure that I am thinking of things that God wants me to think about too.

I'm hoping and praying that during this time, I grow and am at least a little bit of better person in the end…somehow.

Are you abstaining from anything this year?
