| Season of Lent
This past Lent was very hard for me. It tested my physical, mental, and spiritual strength. What did I give up? Meat. Why meat? I've come to notice how much meat I consume and it really made me sick to my stomach. Throughout my fast of meat, my parents and my relatives haunted me with stories about how they couldn't eat meat back when they were young. Meat was only for special occasions; usually for my grandfather's birthday, not even their own. So once a year, they would be able to eat meat. I ate meat everyday. It was everywhere. You can get 10 chicken wings for $5 at the local chicken joint right across the street. It even came to the point where I would scavenger coins in the hidden crevices of sofas to get the 5 piece nuggets at Wendy's. I ate without care. I ate and ate. During Lent, it really sickened me watching everyone else eat and how they had to go around trying to tell me that they want to go to a restaurant with real meat, but the hurt lessened each day. And seriously, with the grace of God and Him alone, I was able to go through this Lent season with ease. Not once did I succumb to my desires to eat meat, but I did have many temptations and thoughts. McDonald and Burgerking commercials were the worst next to T.G.I.F. and Chili commercials.
Finally as Easter approached and the end of Lent became near, my mouth began to water. I never knew how much I wanted meat. There was this one time during this Lent when I actually couldn't move out of my bed physically due to sinuses acting up and just straight up muscle cramps. My father's only hypothesis was that I had no meat in my body. I thought it was hilarious.
Today at Morningside, they served the typical Korean dishes from a 짠치 place; white rice, kimchi, kimbap, bulgogi, chickenwings, and jjapchae. Every dish except the rice and kimchi had meat in it. Without hesitation, I indulged. Indulge soon became swallowing and shortly became binging. I don't know how it happened, but I ended up eating 3 full plates. My stomach was happy, but something wasn't right. Throughout the rest of the day, I pondered and meditated.
Jesus healed the sick, the crippled, and the corrupted. I didn't eat meat for 40 days.
He made a dead man rise and the blind see. I didn't eat meat for 40 days.
Resurrected after becoming our 'sin' and rose to Heaven. I didn't eat meat for 40 days.
We praise His name and worship His doings for He is worthy of praise. I didn't eat meat for 40 days.
Conclusion: I am very far from walking with God. It just sucks that a 40 day fast of meat helped me realize such a simple insight. Meat has corrupted my mind.
Before I close, I'd like to end with a quick note. "After you fast meat for 40+ days, ease in the meat. Don't indulge or you'll be in the bathroom in and out the whole day. I'm at 7 and counting."
Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!
Praises to His name.
-Peter
