Hello Dolls! It is another beautiful Sunday. There is this amazing feeling you get after going to church. (lol). It is time for another sunday series convo. We are still in Lenten Season (Catholic Church). Last time, I talked about one of the benefits of this season to you as a Christian. Today, I will be discussing about another benefit of Lent. During the Lenten Season you are expected to fast (abstinence from food and period of close mediation with God). Fasting makes you realize you don't have to settle.

We are sadly familiar with the feeling of disappointment and pain. It is one of the defining feelings of our time. If we are poor we are disappointed because we fill our minds with images of wealthy happiness that are unattainable. If we are rich we are disappointed because nothing ever lives up to the expectations we have for it. We all want to live better lives, but we are sadly aware of life's giant lack.

When your soul is too big for this world, you have two options: Either you shrink your soul to the size of life's pleasures, or you can expand your awareness to the size of your soul. The more we seek futilely after material pleasures, the more we start to settle, we accept a modified joy, a compromised happiness, we figure good enough is as good as anything gets.

Fasting in Lent is like waking our system up, to realize that life's pleasures are not all that there is. There is something greater, something that truly satisfies; Jesus found it in the desert. We can also find that in the Church and during prayers and quiet meditation.

For Church today, I rocked a Gingham patterned dress which I paired with Black pumps, black belt with gold details and a Black purse. I let my hair loose and my make up was a mix of neutral colours and a touch of red. *winks*
