okay so lent season has started.  most of you know that i have grown up practicing lent pretty much my whole life.  also many of you know that usually for lent i give up something.  mainly it is a food item or items.  but this year i decided to do something a little different.  since i am on this journey to freedom and nothing but positive thoughts and words, thats what i want to do for lent. 
 
i want to give up negative thoughts and words about myself and only allow myself to think positive thoughts about myself.  also if i have anything to say about myself, it better be nothing but positive.  not going to lie, but it is going to be hard and i already have had to catch myself a couple of times.  its so natural for me to just say whatever about myself.  i must break this.
 
they say it takes 30 days to form/break a habit.  i am hoping for these next 40ish days i will do that.  i also have told my team what i am doing and of course they think its awesome and are totally behind me 100%.  they are to hold me accountable for my actions and i am to turn to them whenever i feel these thoughts come on and i need help.  im really hoping this is going to change myself and hopefully my life.
 
i also want to give a shout our to margie because this was actually her idea for me and it was awesome!!  love it
 
so i suppose i am asking you guys to please pray for me during this time of lent and also for my teammates, just because they rock!!
