We had our Lent service yesterday evening. As I was lying in bed trying to think of something to give up the night before, I struggled to think of what it should be. I already gave up Coke in December. After tossing and turning it came to me. I've decided to give up all drinks except water and milk. If you know me, you know I love my beverages. My two vices right now are frappuccinos and sweet tea. I know they are better for me than coke, but it will be a challenge to give them up.
When fasting for Lent, you sacrifice Monday-Saturday with Sundays off. This is doable, for sure. It will be hard, but that is the point.
Did you give up anything for Lent?

I'm giving up time to pray every day, namely the Rosary. Our practice, however, is all 40 Days. I'm hoping to get back into a daily Rosary (I used to do it for years and then just got "too busy", I suppose. We are doing it again and it is so peaceful!). I'd like to fully take to hear the "Be Still" passage and just be still for the voice of God to speak
i intend on giving up the internet from morning until 6pm.
*even though im still on here!!*
