Lent

For those of you who went to Ash Wednesday mass yesterday and paid attention to Father John Francis' homily, did you like it?
I think he was speaking to me. haha. Now I don't even remember exactly what he said. It was something about how we only hurt ourselves when...something something happens..darn it. I can't remember.

But anyway, it was a good way to start off Lent. A good message to keep me going.

So, I successfully refrained from going on facebook the whole day and although I had a yearning to check it, I didn't. I didn't feel desperate or an itch to check it or anything so that's good.

I only accidently said the F word once when my schedule was screwed up.

I slept before 12am last night. =]

I've been praying every night for awhile. I find it easier to sleep at night when I do.

Of course, all of these things are goals that I want to achieve and what better time to start it then during Lent. A time for us to suffer with God. There's a difference between choosing to suffer with Him and suffering without a choice. It was hard when I had no choice, but now, it will be even harder because I can choose to suffer with Him or not.

FJF said Lent is not a time to give up things. It's a time to do things. In a way, I'm not sure what I'm doing is what God wants me to do. hmm...

i guess I'll have to wait and see.
