& if one door opens to another door closed I hope you keep on walkin' til you find the window. If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile But more than anything, more than anything
My wish for you Is that this life becomes all that you want it to.
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
I hope you never look back but you never forget All the ones who love you and the place you left I hope you always forgive and you never regret & you help somebody every chance you get
Oh, you'd find God's grace in every mistake & always give more than you take

Fat tuesday, the day before lent. The day we indulge in more than just food, but also that which we’re going to give up for the next forty days. The day we’re forced to contemplate what exactly we’re going to give up for Jesus. Some of us get caught up in using this is a time to do something selfish like give up food to lose weight or joke that we’ll give up talking to our parents or doing homework. But what we fail to recognize is that lent and this season is about Jesus. Its about giving up something for 40 days thats “equivelant” to Jesus giving up food and water for 40 days and 40 nights. Its our sacrifice for him and our way of saying that we are reminded of God’s sacrifice for us. It is during this time that we try to strengthen our relationship with god. You don’t have to give up something so much as you have to create something more with God. Lent is preparing us for Good Friday and Easter, the rising of our Lord. And so this lent, unlike the past couple I’m going to do my best and only my best at keeping with my resolution. I’ve developed quite a potty mouth and I’m going to vow to rid myself of it this 40 days and nights and then hopefully continue it for the rest of everything. Here we go, Ash Wednesday tomorrow its time to make sure I’ve thorougly welcomed Jesus into my life.
