Tomorrow begins the season of Lent. Never before have I observed this practice, but this year I've decided that it would be a good thing to do. I don't mention this lightly, to show off, or throwing out a challenge. I share this - more than anything - because I believe that getting it "out there" will probably help keep me more accountable to persevere. It should be more than enough to know that I am making this committment before God, but I am not that strong. I can so easily rationalize anything that I desire.
With that said, I am committing to not eating sweets(cookies, doughnuts, cakes, chocolate, etc...)through the season of Lent. My prayer, as with any fast, is that it will draw me closer to our Lord - Who sacrificed more than I will ever comprehend, in order to give us sinful creatures, the opportunity to enjoy a relationship with our Creator. I know that it will not be out of my own strength to accomplish this!
