Lent

For those of you who don't know, Lent is a period of 40 days leading up to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ where you pray and sometimes, give something up focus more on Jesus.

This was my first year trying lent, and this year, I gave up listening to secular music and unhealthy snacks.

I'm going to admit, this was a really ambitious goal, and I did not complete it perfectly. There were times where I accidentally listened to secular music before remembering that I was doing Lent. There were times where I ate a cookie then remembered that I was doing Lent.

And I realized that a lot of the people around me were expecting me to do Lent perfectly, and to not break a single rule. But what I realized was that I'm not perfect. We all aren't. We're all sinners and we need God's grace and mercy. It's why Jesus died on the cross for us, to be the sacrifice, once and for all. And I'm so, so thankful for His gift, because I did nothing to deserve it.

So will I do Lent again next year? Yes, I will! I loved doing it this year, and though it was a challenge, I think it's what I needed to grow in my spiritual journey and realize the significance of Jesus' gift again.
