This is really crazy, I felt like I need to make a few changes in my life and low and behold- it is Ash Wednesday today. SO I am going for it! LENT!
‘Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return’.
(Based on Genesis 3:19).
The day before Lent is the last opportunity for excess (CHECK).
Ash Wednesday- One main meal and 2 supporting smaller meals (CHECK).
So I am venturing into something that has very serious religious meaning to many so please do not see this post as flippant. I feel like I stumbled across this because I need to make changes and focus on self-reflection and connect with my maker.
I don’t know all the ins and outs but I have the basic principle down.
What I do know is Jesus fasted in the desert for 40 days where he endured temptation by the Devil. AND I have pretty annoying devils on my shoulders so time to fight those bad boys.
So I am giving up 4 things for Lent:
1. Junk Food
2. Sugar
3. Cursing
4. Partying AKA binge drinking of any sort
Starting from today and ending on the 2nd of April! To get the most out of this I will do the spiritual side and fast as best I can as well and focus on myself and hopefully at the end have some clarity!
WISH ME LUCK!!!!
