I am not sure if resolutions is the right word, maybe goals or promises. Anyway, I wanted to share what I am hoping my family and I will do this lenten season to draw closer to God and to remind us of what Christ did for us. I am usually an advocate of keeping these between God and you but its also nice to share ideas and have some accountability here on earth.
1. Last year I did the 40 bags, 40 days challenge. I loved it! What a great way to give my service to the Lord, simplify my house and reduce the stuff in our house. I also think its a blessing to my family to present them with a clean home that is less cluttered and more peaceful. I urge you to do this challenge with me.
2. I am giving up TV. I don't watch much now but I think 40 days of less noise in my life will bring me more peace and give me more time working on my relationship with Christ. Is it bad that I do have exceptions? - family movie night and my workout time. I am going to try to read while I workout but sometimes it hurts my eyes too much. I will try to watch stuff that is more uplifting though.
3. As a family we are going to truly make Sunday a day for rest and family. We are not going to allow tv that day and Jason and I are going to focus on doing more as a family.
I also hope to attend church on Wednesdays and to spend more quiet time with the Lord.
I hope you all have a blessed Lenten season as well.
