Its the end of Mardi Gras and the end of Fat Tuesday and SOOOOO tomorrow LENT begins. How can it only be just starting ...if lent had started when it was supposed to start aka beginning of FEB I would be home for EASTER. Celebrating this day has really made my heart sad. I am missing my second BIG holiday with my beautiful family. I was talking about my normal Easter when all of a sudden I REMEMBERED... and it was like a smack in the face. :( But next year I will be home for EASTER and THANKSGIVING... I will never miss a big holiday again. I am so blessed to have so much LOVE in my life and thanksgiving.
Lent is a time to remember Jesus's sacrifice and his time in the desert. We are all tempted at times to do things we don't believe in order to take the easy rode. However Lent is a time to remember to take the RIGHT path even if it may be harder and longer. My journey this year will be a time to cleanse my body of meat, sweets, and alcohol. In order to control my millions of allergies and food issues I hope to reveal these pains in order to concentrate more on my savior and his journey.
Lord, give me the strength.
LOVE YOU ALL!
3 days until home. :)
