Summary

We've already talked about different ways we can add prayer and almsgiving to our Lenten observances this year, but this week I would like to focus on fasting as a spiritual practice. Learn ways to stay on track with your fasting and make it a meaningful part of your Lent. Don't be afraid to be creative and flexible when planning to fast; make sure prayer is a part of your plan; offer up the fasting for someone else—these are just three of the ideas shared in this episode of the Girlfriends podcast.

0:00.0	Girlfriends, episode number 111, the Girlfriend's Guide to Fasting.
0:08.5	Hello and welcome to Girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom, and I'm on a
0:14.5	mission to help you know your worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy in
0:19.6	family living. This week, we're talking about
0:22.1	lent and dentists and coming up with our very own Girlfriend's Guide to Fasting. You know you
0:27.2	won't want to miss this one. Let's get started.
0:37.3	Hey, girlfriends, how are you? Welcome to another episode of the Girlfriends podcast. I'm so happy
0:42.3	that you've decided to join me for another episode during this season of Lent. Yes, it's still
0:49.1	Lent. Are you feeling it? Are you tired of it? We keep getting snow. So it's feeling very lentin. We're getting more
0:57.7	snow in a couple of days. I'm recording this on Tuesday morning this week. And tomorrow, we're
1:03.5	supposed to get walloped with another storm. And I know I do this every year. I know I complain
1:09.3	about winter lasting too long every year,
1:11.7	but this year I really mean it. It really is lasting too long. And Lent is feeling very Lenton,

1:25.7	the past few days because Dan has been gone.
1:28.3	This almost never happens. You know that I travel a fair amount. So usually the times when we're
1:33.3	apart, he's at home holding down the fort and I'm off pursuing new adventures, which aren't
1:39.4	always glamorous or fun. He's actually taking a fun trip, though. He went down to Florida with our older son.
1:46.6	Both of our sons have spring break from their different colleges. And Ambrose, who happens to have
1:51.6	spring break down in Florida, is the perfect location for those others to go visit. So,
1:58.1	Amon, my son, who's at St. An, so decided he wanted to go visit his brother for his
2:03.0	spring break, of course, and then Dan decided to tag along for the first part of it just a few days.
