Lent
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of the forty days of Lent. It seems a little odd to be talking about Easter in February, but it's such a special holiday for me. While Easter has always been important, it was this time about two years ago I chose to really take ownership of my faith. While that is a topic I'll probably explore more closer to Easter, for now I'm going to enjoy this time of preparation. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fasting. Basically this means try not to go crazy and eat huge meals with snacks in between. It never fails that on these days I am starving. However, I try and remind myself that my hunger for one day is far, far less than many people struggle with in a lifetime. While one day of hunger is uncomfortable, it reminds me how many blessings I have in my life.
