Ifs...and conditions

It is finally the end of the work week, Yipee!!! Today is day 10 of "Lent", so only 30 more to go. The "pack" at work continues to thin out with folks dropping their "Lent promises." Hmm, somehow this gives me strength to be one of the folks who completes all 40 days. Don't get me wrong, I still miss facebook/twitter, I just have a ride or die outlook on completing this task. What has been a great help is occupying my time with things that are constructed. I have created a "Youtube" page, jgfavor1. I actually have 3 videos that I posted all by myself. A friend gave me directions on how to upload videos 5 months ago, I just never took the time until now. I started taking a Zumba class, which is sooo fun. You could end up procreating attending that class, those moves are something else, lol. Of course I started this blog, which is a God send. It's only day 10...My 40 days of "Lent" are full of conditions. If I stay busy doing other things, I won't get on facebook/twitter. If I think about it, my whole life is full of ifs...and conditions. If I do this, I can get that. Even if I try to keep ifs...and conditions out of my relationships, it has a way of creeping its way back. Without even realizing it, we put ifs...and conditions on the folks that we allow in our lives. I will be your friend if you stay within these certain perimeters, never to step out of line. I will love you if you only make me happy and never betray me. It is not to be helped, blame it on being human. We do everything with ifs...and conditions. Only the love of God is unconditional. No matter what we do, he will ALWAYS love us. The ultimate show of this love was giving us his son Jesus. To accept Jesus as your personal savior comes without ifs...and conditions. How awesome is that? I leave you with one more ifs...and conditions; if I log off of this computer, I can go to bed and not have bags under my eyes tomorrow. Even if you do not agree with what I said, thank you for seeing it Jen's way.
