Plus, I am working on digging deeper into my faith by reading/researching more. We'll see how that one goes!</p> <p>When I was 12 or 13 years old I made by goal to pray intentionally every night. BEST thing ever! I am almost 35 and still going strong. I was one of those things that after the 40 days I thought to myself, "Why stop?" ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-doing-something-special-for-lent-what-is-it#post-2705146 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 14:33:16 +0000 MaryM 2705146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in a Catholic group for women with IF. There happened to be 40 women in the group, so I'm leading an effort where each day, we pray for a different person's intentions so they get lots of people praying for them. </p> <p>It's been an easier way to work on praying (it's far easier to pray for other people than for myself...but I also know my day will come around too) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-doing-something-special-for-lent-what-is-it#post-2705137 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 14:28:44 +0000 DesertDreams88 2705137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As of age 28, I have done four Lents that were impactful long term:</p> <p>- Cut out swearing and negative language (the first worked, the latter decreased)<br /> - Cut out Facebook (did this twice)(caused me to rethink my frequency)<br /> - Cut out soda (caused me to realize my issues with self control, denial of small pleasures, and money spent!)<br /> - Reading Scripture regularly</p> <p>If you're doing something special for Lent, what is it?</p> <p>I think I'm going to be more purposeful about quality time with DH &amp; praying together. We've put our relationship on the back burner for about 4-6 weeks now due to life events and I miss our closeness. </p>
