40 Days

     At the start of the Lenten season I decided to give up eating french fries for forty days. I decided to do it because I can't fast since I'm still a student and I'll need all the energy I could get so I decided not eating fries would be my sacrifice. Anyone who knows me knows that my all-time favorite food would be french fries so when they found out what I wanted to do many didn't believe that I could actually do it. Now that  It's been four weeks since I've been fries free, many of my friends can't actually believe it, but let me tell you it has not been easy especially if your friends love eating at McDonald's. My sister asked me why still continue doing it if it was giving me a hard time. I guess the answer to that would be I made a promise not only to myself but also to Him and I want to honor that promise. It may be a simple promise but at least I'm doing something meaningful for the Lenten season.
