If it's the Crowder book, anyway. =) I've read so many books sometimes they kinda run together, sadly.<BR/>For Lent...I know we're supposed to be trying to focus on the purpose of Easter and such, and it's been really difficult...I feel like I try to do that all the time--realize what God has done for me and IS doing for me. It's a daily thing--like Crowder talks about--to love and appreciate God. The hardest thing for me is to grasp that love isn't necessarily an emotion--God's Word says so often that love is obedience. But I feel like I should love God emotionally too--the way I love my family and my friends. I don't know if fasting is really helping me with this, but it's a sacrifice I'm making anyway--just because it's good to sacrifice things that you love in order to avoid idolizing or something. Dorky as it is, I totally gave up watching Lord of the Rings last year 'cause I would obsessively watch it, and after Easter, I didn't obsessively watch it anymore. I'm a dork, I know. But God loves me.lenamariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01527491731223935583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148655199309840279.post-91706143109400277762008-02-27T06:48:00.000-08:002008-02-27T06:48:00.000-08:00I gave up dessert for lent (originally) and then r...I gave up dessert for lent (originally) and then realized I was just doing it to do it, it wasn't preparing me for Easter at all. I was just thinking, oh, I can't have that. So, I stopped giving up dessert, because I was just doing it really legalisticaly. I don't know why it was so hard this year. Probably because my brain is too dead to focus on anything! (thank you twin toddlers and embryo)The Webbershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16544039789647066316noreply@blogger.com
