So, the big question is: What should I give up for lent? A lot of people are giving up food or drinks, but the only things that I eat/drink routinely are chicken and coffee. Chicken because it is the only meat that the school does a good job at cooking, and coffee because due to my body's chemistry caffeine tends to work as a relaxant on me and when I don't drink some when under stress, I need serious drugs (like Benedril) to deal with the withdrawal symptoms.
Back to giving up something though. I really don't know what I can give...
- I can give some more time for prayer, though I fear I'm too often distracted.
- I can make an effort to do a better job of attending church, though I know I'll miss the extra hour of sleep.
- I can actually finally get around to pulling some money to give to the church from my pay check's meager leftovers.
- I can try to read my Bible more. It's pages were starting to get dusty.
That is all I know to offer. I have little time during the day and am overly easily distracted at night, so I will try this little though it is. It's not giving up chocolate, but it is my own small attempt. Hopefully I will pull through and do all of these. If not, then I can only hope that God will understand.
