A better way to lead up to Easter....

So Lent starts tomorrow---I’ve never bought into it besides the fasting part which is something we regularly do anyway and not one time of year.

Then today I thought about how the media and society respects Lent—they take it seriously because makes them feel Christian or spiritual.

So I thought how about if I use Lent to speak to others about God, Jesus and faith??

so I have to choose something to fast from—no red meat, I do that normally so that wouldn’t be anything special.  I could fast from chicken but I’m like NO WAY!! I love it too much and I don’t mind eating just fish I ate fish for a whole week 2 weeks ago

So then I thought ok here is what I’m going to fast from for 40 days leading up to Easter!

1.    My own strength in overcoming defeating thoughts.
2.    Fear/anxiety and doubt with regards to unanswered prayers.
3.     Negative words.
4.    Self-defeating words towards others and myself.
5.     Red meat
6.     Soda
7.     Impatience

I think if more people fasted from issues of the heart we’d be a better city, state, and peoples.
I want to share with others what my fast will entail because that can start a faith based conversation.

Keep me accountable and in prayer!

I challenge you all to do the same thing as me---

Adelante y Avanza!
