I was just wonderin what you were giving up for Lent, and how u were goin 2 get closer 2 God through it. I am not giving anythin up cos I gave up chocolate last year and it was terrible! I am kinda doin the opposite of Lent, not giving up anything but setting aside time to read my bible and spend time with God, cos doin my devotions has kinda been on the back burner for a while, defo not where it should be! I hav found that getin the bus is a great time to spend with God, cos I can stick my MP3 player on r wotever an just pray, the scenery really helps me to remeber to thank God, even tho it is so firmiliar, noticing buds on trees, or birds carrying sticks etc. shows the signs of spring, even tho the weather goes against it!!! So r you doing anything for Lent??? |

thats a really good idea and everything is quiet at that time too! pity i cant get up any earlier though - as soon as i walk out of the door the bus comes! for any1 who doesnt have a daily Bible reading aid i really encourage you to get one and get into the habit - you soon make time for God and it is a really good check on our daily progress of lack of it and is also a BIG encouragement. i admit i havent given up anyting this year either but for lent last year i gave up doin homework on sundays which has helped me and im still keeping it BUT i still need to work on the second half of that commandment - to "dedicate" that day to God. |

I was never allowed to do homework or revision on Sundays, and still don't, it is brilliant, it really helps it to be a day of rest, and you don;t spend your time in church or whatever thinking what homework you have to do when you get home. It allows me to give more time to God, and spend it with my family too. |
