Wow it's been 40 days already?!? it just passed by like crazy. Lent is a very great process in my opinion it really helps out a lot physically and mentally. I feel like a better person these days, not only because I feel physically better but also because I feel pride that I accomplished such a difficult task for myself. Through-out the 40 days I had cravings and bad days and good days and a lot of okay days. Lots of the days blended into each other around halfway point, and some days were very hard. There were times when I didn't have very much time and I wanted a quick meal.. and there were times when even the thought of eating a burger from bk or McDonald's made me sick to stomach. 40 days down the line and I can honestly say at this point of time I have no desire to eat fast-food like BK and McDonald's or A&W and Wendy's etc. Of course there will still be times when I want quick food and I can't say that I will stay away from fast-food for ever, it doesn't work like that. I had a good process and I feel stronger will-powered then 40 days ago. What I didn't mention much is the whole point of this process, to get closer to God. I find myself being open to more concepts lately, even though I may not get them.. I just have to take a leap of faith and hope it's the right decision. Lets face it, none of us for sure know if anything is right or wrong.. so when it actually comes down to it, you're either going to be cynical or open-minded. I have always fought myself with taking the leap, I believe in God but always challenged whether the bible is his word or not. Without the bible you have a very open concept of a superior life form that is some wheres up there but no impact on life. I'd like to think the bible is his word and it makes him into something so much more powerful then just a god, he's THE GOD. It's taking me longer than I'd like, but its coming along.. one thing I have to take into consideration is what made this whole process so easy for me?-- so I have faith in the fact not only am I doing this for myself, but for a greater cause that will affect my life in a big way. I enjoyed blogging every day and having all of you read my struggles and positives, but everything good must end at some point. Alright everyone thanks for reading my daily blogs and you all have a good night!
