This is one of the most exciting, yet challenging times of the year. As I prepare to receive the ashes with the traditional: "Remember you are dust and will return to dust," I will also pause for 40-46 days in a period of self-denial to strengthen my bond with the Savior. In celebration of Christ's resurrection, my pastor has asked church members to begin the Daniel's Fast. In doing so, we will read the New Testament together. I will be challenging myself to forgo three things during this Lenten season in hopes of starting a fresh and reestablishing my commitment to Christ. Everyone who are fasting or giving up something, remember when you are tempted, just ask for strength.
Happy Fat Tuesday!
