It was hard the first week or more, but after that, it got easier. And then about 3 weeks in, I didn't think about it anymore. I'm trying to get that mind frame back again.<br /><br />About your post... yours doesn't automatically save? As a draft? Or were you typing in a document and then you copy and paste into blogspot?Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14297702598120453725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164137788069754120.post-48792565995339406062010-02-19T15:29:36.217-08:002010-02-19T15:29:36.217-08:00So sorry about that post.

I have never given up anything for Lent(not Methodist) but I was listening to Nancy DeMoss the other day, and thinking that there is so much that I should be giving up. Someone said sanity and that could possibly be going soon. Just kidding! I am trying to give up sweets, or at least limit them in a major way. I need to get back to more healthy choices, and this is my firt move. I need to be taking better care of this temple, and I just hope my kids are not bringing a birthday cake this weekend. Could be a big possibility, so I would have to have some, but so far I have not. I would like to better discipline myself to not giving in to the flesh. I am doing the BM Bible study, A Womans Heart Gods Dwelling Place, and it is a very personal and convicting study, so possibly some other things I will be doing to spend concentrating time in focusing on the Lord and what He has done for me. Have a blessed weekend!

My best learning memory of lent is when I gave up wearing pants....that may not seem like a big deal to you, but trust me, girlfriend..it is HUGE for this girl. I learned so much that year...through my journey with the LORD.<br />Blessings, andreaAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082891172963869545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164137788069754120.post-19036993054816420192010-02-18T18:57:30.431-08:002010-02-18T18:57:30.431-08:00I haven't officially done anything for Lent, b...I haven't officially done anything for Lent, but I was just caught up in a scripture reading last week that started in Philippians 2. When they got to v. 3: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves." I thought to myself: "If I could get a handle on that, most of my battles would be over."<br /><br />I love elaine's quest for sanity, too.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02967745278090623772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164137788069754120.post-31826435586085407692010-02-18T15:05:15.366-08:002010-02-18T15:05:15.366-08:00Does sanity count?

I know that sounds simplistic and something that I should be doing everyday, but as of late, I've grown rather selfish with my time. I'm way too busy, and I need to put some firm parameters around my life. I need to protect those things I hold most sacred...<br /><br />My relationship with Jesus. My family. My friends. In that order; everything else is just plain filler.<br /><br />Love you, friend.<br /><br />peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.com
