With the season of Lent coming to an end I'm tempted to focus more on the end of my fast than the reason for it in the first place. I'm looking forward to all the things I've been withholding from myself over the last month and a half. However, the reason for Lent is to prepare our hearts and minds for celebrating Easter.
God has had a lot more of my attention these days; as a result, He is seriously messing me up. If you're not familiar with this idea let me assure you that this is a good thing. There are things that were a major part of my life in February that no longer are. Some of those things don't need to have so much of my focus or attention ever again. Other things have been given more attention and my life is the better for it.
So looking back I feel like this has been a very fruitful season of Lent for me personally. With that said, if you've been fasting, what are you looking forward to most that you've been without over the last forty-ish days? What do you think my first twitter message should be (scripture, goofy, loud & proud, twitpic)?
More importantly, where and how will you be celebrating the resurrection of our Savior this weekend?
