What did you sacrifice for Lent?

What have you given up? What sacrifices have you shown Our Savior you can make in order to receive His blessings? Well, I've given up social network sites. I decided to give up the thing I love most to show God that I'm worthy of His blessings and He is worthy of my praise. If you are anything like me, you wake up and check your phone before washing your face, before you clean up but most importantly before you even take a knee to thank the man above. How selfish of me. How selfish of you. I'm no frequent church go-er and I don't claim to know everything about the bible, but I do know that my love for God surpasses ALL else in my life and He certainly deserve praise. I didn't tell my Facebook friends, or my Twitter and Instagram followers that I would be absent from their timelines filled with Chris Brown and Rihanna drama, hateful messages toward Whitney Houston's life & death, and the never ending cat brawls on reality shows. I'm sure I won't be missed as much as I'd like to think but I'm okay with that. My only hope is even if you don't take part in Lent this year, choose other days or times that you want to make sacrifices. It's between you and the Lord. No need to brag, boost or talk about it. Just do it. Feel good about it.
