Lent.

Time to give up. Or take something in. 

This year I decided to take something in. I am going to spend time with The Lord and read my bible and journal. On the daily. 

Life has just gotten so hectic and busy that I've really fallen short in that area. And it saddens me. 

So I decided that I wanted to get back on track. And that's what I'm doing. It's tough getting back into something. But I'm glad that I am doing it. I feel rejuvenated after reading the bible and journaling. 

I always feel that way. So I don't know why I stop. I honestly think it's just because life gets crazy and I don't know how to deal. So I just stop doing what relaxes me and start filling my time with meaningless, mindless things. 

Today for example...I got done with work early and made plans with a friend instead of going home. I'm glad we got to hang out and talk. Because I truly love that girl. But I didn't want to be alone. Sometimes I find that is my thing lately.

Instead of getting all hung up on "being alone" I should spend that time with The Lord and in the word. And that is what I am going to do during Lent. Not only pick up my bible and journal but also be proactive in the ways that I spend my time. 

So here's to more time with The Lord and working on me.
