If the truth be known I have started to celebrate already.  I am having a great time in the Lord and feeling his presence even more.  There are quite a few events over the holiday period both church and otherwise so it would be a very busy time.

• At first I really didn’t think of trying to give up anything. In the end however I thought about it and felt drawn to try and give up something for a period of time during lent.  I personally see it as a time for coming through and digging deeper and putting down some of the physical things we love and drawing nearer to the spiritual.
• Easter is very important in the Christian Calendar as it represents when Jesus Christ died so we can live – until that time we were lost.  I would say we had victory on that day.
