Tomorrow is the start of Lent - a 40 day time of prayer and fasting leading up to Easter. I've actually never given up something for Lent. For the longest time I thought: that's only for Catholics. And after I got over that I realized that often I have impure motives when I try to give something up - it's usually not to glorify God and deepen my walk with Him. Well, the past couple of days I've been asking God "what would help take my walk with You to a deeper level?", wondering what He would say. I sense that the answer right now is facebook. So the plan is to not go onto facebook for the next 40 days (unless it's absolutely necessary for work purposes), spending that time in reading, fellowship, writing, prayer, etc. I'm excited for how God's going to use this to deepen my dependance on Him. . .and lessen my dependance on facebook. Please ask me how it's going! :)
Any thoughts on Lent?

Thanks for asking Amy-Lynne! It's going well - I am so enjoying more time with Jesus. . .and using it for work purposes, but not getting sucked in, is going great! :)
