It’s been years since I fasted from something for Lent. Honestly, I don’t know if I’ve ever gone the whole 40 days anyway.
Well, I feel motivation to fast this year. Maybe it’s because of our new home, new friends, and new life. Maybe because there’s much more talk of Lent in New York than there was in Florida.
Whatever the reason, I’ve decided to fast from something that’s been a thorn in my joy for several months now. I’m fasting from not posting. This sounds like a joke, but this is important to me.
I love that God uses this site to provide laughter, encouragement, and conviction through silly little me (and Cool Mum). But this blog and its opportunities to minister have been ignored. Emails go unanswered. Comments go unreplied. God built this little blog, blessed it with a great bunch of subscribers, and for days it just sits here.
So, for the 40 days of Lent, I hope that every day will have a post. Some short questions, some lengthy stories. Some silly, some deep, hopefully a few cool.
I feel this more strongly than Cool Mum, but I hope that God will use both of us to provide a steady flow of blessings through this place. Thanks for sticking with us so far. See you tomorrow!

It may seem silly buch it is much more serious and has a better than reason than a lot of things people fast for lent. Plus I’ll enjoy the extra blogging.
“I feel this more strongly than Cool Mum”
Aw, that makes me feel sad. I really love what God has done with this blog and all of the super great people we get to connect with. You all are such an encouragement to us, in ways you’ll never know! I just feel guilty about spending too much time on the computer lately, for work and for fun, while Cool Baby gets addicted to PBS Kids. So that’s why I’m not taking on the same fast. But I do hope to post more!
Wooo-hooo!
That’s all. Just woo-hoo!
Kyle – thanks, buddy.
CM – i didn’t mean to make you feel sad! thanks for clarifying.
Mary – woo-hoo, indeed.
