There was a time when I thought I wanted my life to stay the same - smooth, easy winding roads every single day. Now I realize that I learn new things about myself, my relationship with God and how I relate to family and friends each and every day. Some days I am stubborn and refuse to change - insanity here I am! Other days I see letting go of my strong-willed attitude and picking up God's map is the right answer. I no longer crave the sameness, I thrive on the new aspects of my life every day!

Lent Accountability
For Lent I am going to give up one television program every evening and spend that time reading at least one of my devotion books, my Bible and journaling my thoughts from the reading or a daily event. I already journal every morning from my email devotions (Upper Room, Turning Point, Insight for Living), so this will be an additional time for reflection. I would like to include fasting of food again this year but haven't yet figured out how to include that. In the past I have done a 24 hour fast from dinner Thursday to dinner Friday. But by the end of Lent it has lost it's meaning for me. So I will do a bit more meditation on this aspect. Every Sunday I will come here to my blog and be accountable for the past week and any thoughts on the coming week. Please feel free to join me.
