Lent 2017

What to give up?

No.  I want to give in. I want to use this time to grow closer to Him.

Shouldn't I want to always grow closer to God?  Yes!! I always want to be that mom who has it all together with work, kids, husband and church.

Yes. I realize how I said that---

Work came first and church comes that. Wow.  All the more reason to start this.

Soooo....starting tomorrow, I plan to blog daily through Lent to document this journey through to the Resurrection. 

God, I know you need to me to be more disciplined.  I haven't lived up to that promise. But I will try. 

God, please be with me as you always are. But let me put YOU first instead of last. 

God, forgive me. I am on my way back, I promise.

God, please surround me with other Christians so I am protected from this world.

God, lead me to be the wife and mother you intended me to be.  Let me the daughter, sister and friend I need to be.

God, I am ready.

I know I am.
