March 2019 Goals & Lent
March is here and with it the beginning of Lent. I am looking forward to it. Is that strange? I just find this liturgical season such a beautiful opportunity to examine your life and see how you are bringing glory to God. Hubby and I have decided to go meatless for the 40 days. I have a few spiritual books lined up as well. I’m going to read through The Imitation of Christ and Searching for and Maintaing Peace.

Some years I have been super type A about Lent and had a pretty detailed plan of what I would do. This year I’m trying to lean into choosing the better part and sitting at His feet. I’m setting myself a few goals for the month, but I won’t beat myself over the head if I don’t get them done. I don’t think Christ will care so much about the artwork up on my walls, but rather if I loved well.
- Gently get back into my stretching exercise routine (I’m post laparoscopy surgery so some stretches are still a little difficult);
- Go on a romantic getaway with hubby;
- Drop off donation bag that has been on our bedroom floor for over a month – eek;
- Hang up new artwork;
- Plan (depending on mother nature, create) my Spring capsule wardrobe;
- Find some vegetarian recipes on Pinterest for Lent;
- Celebrate St Patrick’s feast day;
- Host an extended family dinner;
- Continue praying a daily rosary.
