Lent

Lent starts tomorrow and this year, I decided to participate. I did not want to be one of those people who does this because everyone else is doing it. I did some research and here is what I found:

Lent is a period of restriction, when Christians give up their vices and try to live a “better life’. It is representative of the time that Jesus spent in the desert – 40 days and 40 nights.

Now, with today being Fat Tuesday, did I indulge in what I plan on giving up? Yes, yes I did and you know what? I will be glad to let this go. Honestly, no good comes of it in the long run. This period of restriction will be a blessing. I am determined and sometimes, being determined is all you need to get started. I want to be a person of excellence…this will be a starting point for me.
