This year I'm treating lent a little differently than I usually do. Typically I'll give up Dr. Pepper or soda in general, which is pretty darn difficult. But this year I decided to really take lent seriously. Not only am I giving up social media (just twitter and instagram because I am addicted) but I'm also taking something on.
I downloaded the she reads truth app and have taken on a reading plan to read the whole bible in one year. So far I have read 5% of the bible woo! I always have a difficult time recognizing bible stories and reading the whole bible in general just sounds so awesome so I knew this was something I needed to take on. It also helps keep me accountable in reading the bible every day, which I am guilty of not doing a lot. (Side note, this app has the best phone wallpapers. I'm addicted to changing my wallpaper and these are perfect)
The next thing that I decided to take on, which won't last through all of lent, but is still a good idea is the minimalist challenge. I live for my iPhone calendar so each day I made an all day event with the title of the challenge for the day. I started on March 1st and so far so good. I have run into a few challenges that don't really apply to me, but that's okay.
I highly suggest trying any of these things! Just because lent has been going on for a while, doesn't mean that you can't start now! Also, let me know if you have any other suggestions of things to give up/take on.
Happy almost spring break!
Another side note, my MIS class is coming to good use with this whole blogging thing cause I definitely just edited the code a bunch for my blog to get these cool new fonts. Hope y'all like.
