Lent

For me, Lent has always been a time to challenge myself in a way that I can look back at these 6 weeks and say that I have grown as a person. Ever since I was little, I have always attempted to give up items of my liking, for instance, food and social media. However, this year I hope to remember this Lent by making it different from all of the others. After going on a 24 hour silent retreat, I now know that I need to take more quiet time to myself to reflect and relax. By doing that, I know I will come to now God in a different way and learn how to approach others differently. This Lenten season I hope to be more open minded to others, patient, and forgiving. These efforts to change mentally and emotionally throughout these next 40 years will help me grow as a person and become closer to God.
