The Lent journey is not all that dissimilar from the Christian journey – that’s what I learned today 🙂
It’s 7 : 47 PM on day 930 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to take off my dirty t-shirt and put a clean t-shirt on, brush my teeth, pray, feed myself Appam and mutton curry for breakfast, go shopping with my father, brother and sister, read Leviticus 10, publish my Disability of the Day feature, prepare and publish my Kid of the Week feature,practice typing with both hands, continue reading The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom, go with my parents to drop my sister off at the bus stop (she came home from university for Easter break and had to leave today) – every time she leaves I can’t help but feel left behind I hate that feeling but for once in my life I want to be inside the bus with my parents waving goodbye instead of me always people waving goodbye don’t get me wrong I love my parents and I appreciate everything they do for me but I just want my own life separate from them – and brush my teeth once more.
Today I was reflecting on my Lent journey and I realized the Lent journey is not all that dissimilar from the Christian journey there were many times where I ate or drank something I shouldn’t have either unknowingly or because I didn’t want to be rude but I didn’t quit Lent in the same way I can’t quit being Christian all I can do when I screw up is repent and move forward.
