Day 8 of Lent - Wednesday 🙏
Midweek. Middle of the journey so far. Not quite halfway through week 2.
Wednesday always feels like it's testing your resolve. Monday had momentum. Tuesday had routine. By Wednesday? You're just tired.
Here's what I'm noticing on Day 8: This is where excuses start sounding reasonable.
"I've been doing so well, I can skip today."
"One break won't hurt."
"I'll restart tomorrow."
And you know what? Sometimes those things are true. Sometimes you DO need grace. Sometimes rest is the right choice.
But here's the question: Are you resting, or are you quitting?
There's a difference. Rest says "I need to pause to continue." Quitting says "I'm done trying."
Only you know which one it is.
Day 8. 32 days left. Over 5 weeks still to go.
This is the long middle. The part where nobody's cheering. No fresh start energy. No finish line in sight.
Just you and your commitment.
