Lent

Lent isn't something that Mormons generally do. It's not part of our religious practice.  But I was thinking about it the other day and I really like the idea.  The concept that giving up something to focus on more important things in life really resonates with me.  I think it helps build self control, and thus self reliance, and hopefully self confidence.  I need to focus on the more important things in life.  So I'm giving up Facebook for Lent this year!

This is why: School is an afterthought most days, which is weird cause its my whole life.  Church is just going through the motions most of the time which i HATE. And with General Conference coming up i really should be in a good place spiritually to receive the messages from our leaders.  I am doing the "General Conference Challenge" with some people in the ward. We're reading all the talks from last time in preparation and blogging about it. Here's the link.  I love this plan. Spring break will be all about crafts, friends, and gearing up for my BRUTAL spring quarter. I can do this. But i'll probably blog a lot more.

P.S.

how is this room so cool?
