Blog: My Journey to God - 40 days of Lent
I plan to enter my journey Dear God for many reasons. But the main two; to get closer to you and to give thanks for all the gifts you have given to me.
My intentions are to give up the following during Lenten time:
No food of all type. No alcohol. No Television (except on Sundays)
I have decided to allow myself the following:
Coffee, tea, creamer, splenda, water, juice and broth.
Gum and breath mints....(wouldn't want to offend those near to me LOL!)
I know that my addictions hold me back from being as close to YOU as I was meant to be. YOU, who have given so much to me - all of the gifts you continue to give to me throughout my life...and I give so little in return.
I acknowledge how much you have given to me yet take for granted and through
my addictions, continue to abuse what you so gave me as nourishment - I have to learn to appreciate nourishment in the way which YOU intended. My alcohol intake,,,without saying-----out of control, i fear it may now be habitual? Television? Entertainment??? it is now beyond. Takes me away from my family...living life.
So this is a cleanse alright. I need this...need this selfishly to get closer to you.

I noticed your desire to repent (change for the better)!
In your statement:
" I need this..need this selfishly to get closer to you."
Excellent, because God Loves you and is not mad or up set with you! In fact Jesus paid for your sins over 2000 years ago. It is good that you have recognized your problems and seek Him now!
Respond so that we can help you get right with God!
