I never give the season of Lent enough thought. But I have landed on something I can “give up” for Lent with faith that it will indeed bring me closer to God and closer to the person He intended me to be. It’s not Starbucks. It’s not chocolate…

I’m giving up lies. 

The world tells me (and you) constant lies. Here’s some of the ones I’m not going to listen to anymore. (With oodles of God’s help). 

• I’m not good enough.
• I’m not beautiful enough.
• I’m not strong enough.
• I’m not smart enough.
• I’m not a good wife. 
• I’m not a good friend. 
• I am ugly inside and out. 
• I don’t contribute anything to my workplace, to my classes, to my community group.
• I am not worthy of this great Love I chase.

These lies are sneaky. And they don’t listen to a simple “go away”. This is going to be all out war. I’ll lose some battles. But I’ll walk away with a better picture of the person God believes I can be. 

Here we go…
