40 days

i don't like talking about lent with anyone besides my mom.  i find the lenten season makes me and others judgy. a few years back, i remember telling someone what i gave up and she said, "what's the point of that? that's wack."

yo, when i say i wanted to reach across the table and strangle that chick...  EX-CUUUUUUUSE ME!?!?!? TRICK, you don't know me and my struggle!!

but then when people say, "i'm cutting out bread" i think to myself, "oh, you're dieting for lent. cool story, bro."

i guess the difference is i THINK it, not say it.  but that's the point!! how bout we just don't talk about it??

i actually love talking to lyds about spirituality/religion. last week when i left church in one of the foulest moods ever, i called her to talk it out. surprisingly, she told me not to go back to that church and then we figured out what i was supposed to get out of attending service that day.  there's always a lesson to be learned, even if the father doesn't have a thesis statement to his sermon and rambles on & on at any given moment... let's move on.

since mommy told me your lenten sacrifice should be between you and your God a few years back, i find that it's been more meaningful to me. When Jesus was tempted he called on his Father. I LOVE knowing that WWJD is so very applicable during these 40 days and I love doing what Jesus would do! Now if only I can do that more often, lol *MESSAGE!*

If you are participating in Lent, may the Lord be with you thru this and beyond.
