Lent

I have decided that for Lent, instead of giving something up, I am devoting more time to my relationship with God. Truly, I have no relationship with God right now. Well, I suppose that's a lie. I believe in Him, and I know that he sent his son Jesus Christ to save me from my sins, but that's about all we have right now. I don't attend church, I don't pray. It's sad, really. I think part of this is because my husband is a nonbeliever. I feel it's rude to press my beliefs upon him, but I am starting to realize that I am putting my beliefs aside for my husband, and that's just not right. My husband wouldn't want me to do that, and I am sure God isn't happy with me about it, either.

So....for Lent I am reading A Purpose Driven Life. It is a book that helps you with your relationship with God. There are 40 chapters, and you are supposed to read only one chapter a day. At the end of these chapters, there are questions. I have told myself I will blog my answer to each of these questions. Here's to hoping I stick with it and come out a little bit more enlightened.
