Learning to love you
Through all the anxieties and fears
The laughs and the tears
You have always been with me
As far as the eye can see...
Lately I feel as if things are at a dangerous level.. as if Satan is attacking from all levels.. or maybe it's just me.. the whole spiritually "drained-ness" has seem to be the feelings of everyone.. the down faces.. the tension.. it almost makes me wonder when all this is going to be over.. Sorry guys for being so down.. Stress just seems to be getting the best of me these days..
So.. I stopped my meat lent.. why? Because of the dizziness and faintiness(sp?) of it all.. Eat spinach?? Spinach is overrated guys.. and being anemic (iron deficient) doesn't help either.. I really didn't want to stop it because I feel like I'm failing.. but then I felt like I was failing in all other aspects of my life (school, work, church..).. And lots of people suggested me to stop the lent if it was hazardous to my health.. =S SO.. no more meat lent! And now to search for a new one...

awww... it's ok... just remember that God will get you thru thick and thin.. He's brought you as far as you've got, and He'll take you the rest of the way... keep your eye on the prize up there.. just holla if you ever need anything... meaning, a punching bag for your frustration needs, a tissue for your crying needs, a column for support needs, a hand for all the "slap-me-awake" needs, or just a friend for a two-way communication needs..
lent, you can always subsitute something else for it. :)something that WON'T make you dizzy. haha.. ie........... give up msn? haha :)
it's ok! you're still my lenting buddy!!! perhaps you should consider the one hazel said? using one hour that you would use studying to reflect and pray/devo?
you'll think of one! I know u can ;D
*hug*
I think you should lent.. murder
that's a good lent
Satan, being who "he" is, always looks for opportunities to attack, especially when we're at our weakest - that's the most likely chance that if we were to bail on God, that would be it. But how much greater is our God that He is always near, that He hears our calls and welcomes us with open arms. He gives us strength to carry on, renews our souls and loves us like no other.
No one walks alone, though our tired faces, exhausted bodies and seemingly drained spirits may say otherwise. Spend time with God and find comfort and rest in His presence. Remember Psalm 63?
As for the meat lent thing - I think God would rather you be healthy and ok, seeing how He's a loving God. Just find something in the place of meat. Or pick up something to do instead of giving something up. While God desires us to be obedient to the discipline that is held during Lent, He does not necessarily limit the ways which we show our obedience to Him on a daily basis.
hope dinner last night was a chance for you to kick back, relax and unwind.
*hug* keep smiling mui!
