Finger-licking good Friday

I'm not exactly the denomination that partakes in "Lent" but for the last several years, I always have.  People ask why? It's because I think Easter, as a Christian, is THE most significant holiday because it's really what sets us apart from the rest.

God's son was sent to earth, lived the life we live, perfectly.  Then was used as a sacrafice to save us from sin and filth we live in and create daily.  After was he brutally crucified, he escaped the TOMB. So much symbolism for God's love, mercy, etc. I's hard for me to type it all out.

This is something I believe with my whole heart, therefore Lent is something I do for remembrance of the 40 days Jesus was temped my Satan before the cross. 

2014 I did something pretty drastic.  "Paleo" diet isn't really a diet, it's a way to change how you eat.  Vegetables, protein, fruit, nuts are the things you eat, nothing else.  No soda, no dairy, no cheese, no wheat, grain, flour-- It was tough.  I can honestly say in the beginning two weeks it took a role in my mood; I was grumpy & irritable.  Black coffee is a large reason I could stick with it-- it gave me energy when I felt like I had none.

When I say, "change how you eat", the best way to explain it is changing the thought process when you sit down in front of food.  I love fried food, cheese, potatoes, the list goes on--this lent was not easy for me.  I went from "living to eat" to "eating to stay alive"-- I don't need to divulge in every meal.  I took what i eat out on my emotions, instead of simply using food for sustainability and life.

Anyway, today I can eat whatever I want.  Oreos are game on. Thanks for reading, y'all!
