welp. I survived yet another day. i must admit that i placed a caveat in my lenten fast... that i can have a few small chocolates at work but only at work. i indulged (only two hershey minis) but i think that is allowed when i spend the day running around like a crazy woman and helping a family grieve the loss of their mom/aunt/grandma.... I feel honored that God allowed me to be the one to love them through this time, but writing death certificates, calling to notify everyone, etc is not the most fun part of my job. the beauty in the pain. it has a whole new meeting now. to see God in the hurt and brokenness of the world can be a challenge. this world is broken and ugly. ..... isn't that why Jesus came though. death was not part of the original plan. it is a result of our sin. only through his horrific, brutal death can we have hope of life. this earth is broken, but he can make it well. he gives life. he dries tears. he restores. thank you Lord the story does not end with our pitiful last breaths here on earth!
fast update: so yes, i did eat a lil at work but none otherwise. yay!!
