Lent Day 1

Today was the first day for Lent, and our pastors from church have asked us if we would like to fast from something during this time as well. I know that last year I had thought about doing this but never did commit to giving something up. Funny thing is that this morning, April emailed me asking me about this and I was like, OK this is meant to be lol. So after some thought I have decided to give up some specific foods: cakes, cookies and candy. I know that this is the start of the other goal that I have for myself. This is my second day back at the gym, and I have promised to myself that I would stop making excuses and do what I need to do. So part of my commitment to this fast from the foods I mentioned, I will also write everyday in my blog. I know that it's also remembering the sacrifice that Christ did for us. Our minimal sacrifice will never ever equal to the sacrifice done for us by Christ. I hope that in this process I may not only be able to rid of the earthly struggles that I deal with, but also bring me closer everyday in my relationship with GOD. I more than ever need his guidance in my life, and strength to not get lost in the midst of all I am doing.
