Last night I got the great idea to blog about my journey through this Lenten season and this morning I decided it would cool if I blogged about my remaining time in culinary school then just my life in general. I certainly hope that you all sit back and enjoy this ride that i call my life.
As many people know today is Ash Wednesday and starts the season we call Lent. Each year I give up something that I am very attached to and I seek much needed clarity from God. Last year, I gave up something that I did not think that I could live without, MEAT! But to my surprise I was able to go without it for 40 days and I felt like a new person. I felt healthier and like a new person. So this year I decided to give up all alcohol. Do not be alarmed, I do not NEED alcohol in my life but i do like wine and usually have a glass after class. When things are going badly most of us say that we need a drink of some sort to help calm us down but for the next 40 days I will not resort to alcohol to calm me down. I am extremely excited about this Lenten season and what I will gain from it. Today's devotion in the UPPER ROOM says that Lent is the season to "Repent and believe in the good news" (Mark 1:15) and I plan to do just that. Keep me in your prayers.
While many Christians will be at an Ash Wednesday service, I will be in class! No complaints though I love what I am doing and I know that all of these long nights will soon pay off. This past Monday we started a new class. I am now in my cake class and anxious to see what new things I will learn within the next three weeks. My time in culinary school is going by so quickly and I cannot believe it. I will be out in the industry before I know it. Oh dear God, that means I have to get a real job. WOW!! I guess this is what growing up is all about. No complaints though...God is showing out and I love it!
Until next time....SMOOCHES!
