Who am I and what did I do with myself.

Today I did a lot of thinking about my life. I realized that lent is starting next week and that I wanted to give something up for it... because it is always a good reminder to me of God and what he has done for me. So I have been planning to give up chocolate for a long time now because it is something I eat quite often and if i give it up, I will be reminded often.. so when i grab for that piece of chocolate instead of eating it, i can instead say a prayer or just be reminded of God. My friends and I are also giving up something else. but this is a much more personal thing.. Something I am going to keep to myself more or less. I just need your prayers,, I want this lent season to be a good experience for me to grow in Christ and remember what he has done for me. These past weeks have been so busy and I have been occupied with other things that I have lost my focus of God. Now I look back and see how much of my life I had just lived without God being a part of and I can tell it now.. and can see the results. My life has been falling apart in ways which it really should not be.. and I know that only by faith and trust in God I can get though the rest of this year. I have also been thankful for many thing.. some of these things being my friends here. One in particular has noticed me changing and was not afraid to come confront me and ask me what I am doing with myself. It was good for someone to point out something small, but is having a large impact on my life. I also have the best family ever. They are so caring and they want to help me in every way possible. They love me so much, even though sometimes I forget to show it back. Well I apologize for how long and probably boring this all is,, I just had to get it out while it was still on my mind. I would love your prayers this lent season for myself and everyone else who chooses something to give something up, that we may be able to pull through with it and that it may help us grow even closer to God. I love you all!
