My Job and Lent

Today I am thankful for my job haha...yes I know what you're all thinking because EVERYONE has the same reaction.. "YOU WORK??!!??"...

Yes I work part time at this after school thing for elementary kids. I help them with homework do some tutoring and then watch them till their parents pick them up basically a day care. But I am thankful that is where I work becuase these are some of the funniest and sweetest kids ever! They draw pictures for me, when we walk to the park they pick flowers for me and they are honestly great kids. Of course every now and then me or one of the other girls has to "deal" with one or two if they get out of hand or need to be talked to but even then they are still a great kids. And im not gonna lie at first it was weird but now I kinda like being called "Miss Daniela" hahahha even though they are getting to the point where they feel comfortabe enough to just call me Daniela but still...it's all good haha

CHALLENGE: So today's challenge has nothing to do with my story haha. Tomorrow lent starts and I just wanted to say a few things to those of you who like me take it seriously and give something up. First of all, you dont always have to give something up for lent you could also do something for it. As in everyday do a good deed, or go to church every sunday or whatever. Every year I hear what people give up and sometimes I feel like people don't really get the purpose of lent. The purpose is not to help you lose weight. Jesus didn't die on the cross so you could get a 40 day miracle diet and give up a bunch of food. hahah (sorry if that was mean) ha but it's true. I dont care what you give up, but in my personal opinion you should be giving up something that will honestly help better your life in some way nad even though eating better falls under that category the key is that it should also help bring you closer to God and your faith. To me lent is all about our faith and what can we do to make it stronger. What can I give up to help me focus more on my relationship with God. Sure there are a few things im giving up more as a challenge and just for fun, one of then being sarcasm haha but there are also other thinsg im doing this lent to truly help me be a better person in all parts of life uncluding and most important in my faith. So if you're doing lent I challenge you to really think of what maybe be getting in the way of your faith and what can you do or give up this lent to truly work on your faith.
