It's been a while since I've considered giving up something for lent. I'm not Catholic, I'm Baptist, and in our church it's not really that big of a deal. Some people observe it individually, but we don't require it. I've given up things before when I was little, but I feel like I should do it this year.
Starting tomorrow I'm giving up reading. I read all the time. I read 10 books last month alone. So it's a big deal for me to give it up. In turn, every time I want to pick up one of my books I'll pick up the Bible and read that instead.
It's going to be really hard for me, but that's the point right? To give something up that has meaning to you in order to get closer to God? Wish me luck!
Are you giving up anything for lent? If so, please feel free to share!

I've decided to give up sugar! Even though it's only day three, it's been good so far. I just discovered coconut sugar free ice cream and my world has been ROCKED.
ReplyDeletebest of luck with the no reading!
No sugar? That's like saying you're giving up air. Good luck!
