Lent 2013

Lent is traditionally a season of "prayer, fasting, and service." I am trying to incorporate all three of these aspects in my journey throughout Lent. Instead of giving up something specific such as candy or soda, I am looking to give back to my community. Each day, I am trying to generate an act of kindness for one person. I want to do something that will not only positively affect my life but also the lives of those in my community. Over the next 6 weeks, I want to create a closer relationship with my friends, family, and especially God. I also want to be able to put a smile on other people's faces. My personal theme this Lent is appreciation because I want to appreciate everything God has blessed me with in my life. I also want to appreciate all of the friendships I have created over these past four years because I know I will be moving on to a new life in college soon.
