This Lent was excruciatingly Lent for me. Before this, my Lents never felt like anything different from normal days. Hmm. Maybe God only start sending you difficult Lents when you turn 17...
It all started when we lost the debate. Debate was like my baby, my special care and love. I had been praying weeks and weeks before it- not to win, but at least to do our best. But debate seemed cursed from the beginning. It was so complicated that I told Joshua, "Perhaps we're destined not to join this year." I think I was right. We did not perform our best that day. Far from it. I had no idea why my prayers weren't answered. Eventually I stopped asking why.
And then there was the issue with Poodle. I hate people spreading lies about our team. It seemed like every teacher was influenced by her and I was so mad that I was going to declare war. Gah.
After that there were the family complications. Which I would not elaborate.
But anyway, my Lent boiled down to the Easter resolution to be nice to everybody, especially those whom I cannot stand.
Hard. But I'm trying.
