Today is a day of Fast. I don't think, in the past, that I have ever truly fasted. I was reading about fasting....it makes so much sense! One one eats or gorges then they feel sluggish and their mind is not alert...but when one fasts...their mind becomes clearer...more keen to the senses. I want to fast today so that my mind becomes clear and I remember the REAL reason for this lenten season. It is all about our God and his goodness. I want to take this day, especially, to thank him for all that He has given to me. THANK YOU GOD FOR MY LIFE, MY FAMILY, AND ALL THE GOOD IN MY LIFE!
I am going to Ash Wednesday with Vanessa and Jaci. I was so happy she asked and that she found a time that would work for me! Having 2 jobs kind of cuts into my time pretty bad!! Caroline is going at 7 here in Ellis and Mindy said she is going to the Wesley chapel!!! THANK YOU MOM FOR GUIDING MY GIRLS BACK TO GOD! I know you had something to do with this!!!
Ya know...lent is a time of penance. My mom passed away during the Holy Week...so I wonder how much penance she did her last few weeks of life. I think she was in more pain then any of us realize. I keep thinking of the day I went over and she was laying half across her little bed. so uncomfortable. She looked so childlike laying there. so helpless. I remember when I pulled her back into place in bed how she said "you girls are so good to me". Mom.... if you only knew how i WISH i could change some of the things I did to you and dad. I know I was a kid but I think of those things daily and pray for your forgiveness! I love you and miss you and dad so much!!! I am dedicating this lenten season to you both....and to my girls. I haven't decided what to give up yet, but I will decide by this evening.
Diet looking decent... STAY STRONG!

I have been overweight for over half my life. The thin person inside of me is screaming to be let out but my obsession with food won't let it. This is my journey to become healthy again before it is too late.
