It Ain't What It Ain't

Here are some further explanations of what this fast is for/what it will look like.

  • This is not a ploy for attention.  I like to share my fasts because I think it is beneficial, not because I want you to think I am awesome/foolish/fundamentalist/uber-religious/whatever.
  • This is not a quest for holiness. I fully concede that I cannot earn more of God's love or grace or forgiveness by fasting at Lent. In the finished work of Christ is the only place I can find holiness before God.
  • It is not my desire to look like a super holy Pollyanna.  There is a time and place for negative communication.  I will ABSOLUTELY do my best to discern those times.  I just want to make sure that I am not framing this life that God has given me with negativity and strife.
