Gerda - Growing up a protestant, we never practiced giving up anything for lent. The more I read the bible, and references to fasting and prayer, I'm now wondering if Lent might be my time to totally give myself up to God in prayer, meditation, and self-denial. I feel weak right now. This latest episode with H has shown me I keep grabbing my sitch back from God, and I am a mess because of it. A highly functioning mess, as no one would ever know the deep turmoil I have now, but a mess all the same.
God is not speaking to me, or I'm not hearing him. Perhaps it's time to take my faith to the next level.
Anyway, I appreciate that your post spoke to me. Whatever your choice is in this regard, I hope that it will bring you peace.
