My start with Lent

Happy weekend everyone! Today the first Friday of length and the first station of the cross in the Catholic church, my heart goes to all war victims of Russia and Ukraine. I pray that this ravages will end this short period of length. I am of the opinion that crises or disagreement should be treated and handled with respect and maturity not violence. peaceful approach is and has always been fruitful in times like this when applied. Since my days on earth, I have never seen violence solved a situation. It rather worsen the situation and the end is regret. Pure regret. This time of length, please let remember them in our prayers. To all those displaced from there homes and those who lost their loved one, my heart goes to you all. Stay at alert and be safe. I believe this will happen for just small time. Peace will always win.

This Friday marks the beginning of the remembrance of Christ's suffering: the station of the cross for all Catholics. It a. very good start for us all and time to adjust our spiritual life. Some people observed it with something that they have been doing and wants to do more, or rather stop doing and further call it their Lenten fast. A good start for them as well. Whatever way we observe this season of length, doing the right thing is the most important to me.

This weekend has been good too and I will be traveling from school tomorrow to stay with my cousin for a day. She already sent me some fares to come see her for the first time since my recovery from being sick. I miss them so much.

Today's evening, I took jogging again. I have been feeling fine since my recovery and have placed myself on a vegetable diet for over a week now . It has been good to my health and now I think am strong enough to exercise again. At first, I planned going out with my roomie but she couldn't make it back early from the saloon. I had to do that alone and not as far as we planned to go together rather. It was a nice jog out and I enjoyed it alone. At least not talking and maintaining some seriousness without laughing with anyone feels like I was doing the real thing. I proudly covered like 400 x 5m even though at some point I was going slowly and finished the last lap with a walk. Same distance we covered together for like three hours, I did in less than two hours. She couldn't believe it when I was telling her but that her cup of tea. Tomorrow if I would be able to go again, I would probably proof it to her. She's good at jogging though but we gist alot together on the run.

I felt so much relief after my workout and having myself sweat profusely again eases my mind on having a better health. Time to go and when I got home, crazy roomie is back already and have prepared some noodles for me. With more relief, I cleaned up and had an awesome dinner before heading for the church for some prayers; station of the cross.

It has been God all the while and this time of length, we as christians are expected to observe length in prayer. One of my prayers for this length is asking for God's intervention in the crises between Russia and Ukraine. As soon as possible I pray that this war will end. I sometimes imagine myself being there were all these ravages are going on. What situation would I have found myself now. Where would I be because for better, I would be running fkr my dear life. Seeing war and it's outcome in movies is so scary, come to think about it in real life. Lives lost can't be gotten back, people living in fear and in denial of their rights due to the disastrous outcome of bioweapons. What about the children separated from their parents and even the pregnant mothers. Who would provide all the basic needs and to whom will it be provided for when everyone is running Helter skelter. This needs to stop and I pray it stops now. We are humans and we should live with love rather than destruction. In peace I stand.

Thanks for reading and I urge everyone to please pray for peace in our times of prayer. Have a good time and God bless you.
