There are many things to call this Lenten journey - 'easy' is not one of them. I hesitate in mentioning what I am giving up, because I don't want my measly sacrifice to over-shadow what I have decided to 'take up.' This year, I decided to fore go wheat, gluten, dairy, high fructose corn syrup, and several other peripheral items. So in short, in addition to reading through an online publication called The Lenten Journey, I have also taken up intentionality. I have to think about everything I eat before I consume it.
I went in thinking it would be somewhat easy - how hard is it to eat healthy? (Did you know that most applesauce has high fructose corn syrup added?!) This has absolutely made me feel different about food. I don't like thinking about what I eat before I eat! I hate to cut this post short, but I need to work on homework!
Kristen... you always inspire me. Please keep me posted on your journey. I find it to be fascinating. Love you! So enjoyed our talk the other day.
