what I’m giving up for lent…

March 18, 2014 by Debbie Leave a Comment

The Cross

So last week at lunch with friends we were talking about Lent and what to “give up” for these days.

Admittedly, I’ve never been very good about giving stuff up, especially what I love.  Guess that’s kind of the idea, so I gave it some deeper reflection…some of my favorites went through my mind…coffee, chocolate, facebook…then thought, why not let go of some of the things that I really “needed” to give up?

Like the hidden stuff, stress, lies we listen to, insecurities, struggles, which are all too familiar, yet seem to cling on and not let go easily.

Decided to go there these weeks ahead, letting go of the unhealthy, negative thoughts and moving forward with what I know is true.

Have been talking about it on my facebook page, every day, just some random thoughts, but hope it might bring you some encouragement here and there…am posting each morning at 6ish, emphasis on the “ish.”

If I could, I’d offer you a cup of coffee and would love a chance just to sit and talk, to hear your stories about life – the joys and the struggles too.

In whatever you’re facing today, my heart is that you might find some encouragement through these pages and fresh hope in God’s words ...
