I've been gluten free for 9 and a half days now. And I think it is helping already. I'm happy and sad saying that. I love pasta, pizza, and other "normal" food. But not being sick, that is worth not eating sandwiches ever again. I though I would care more, I really thought that I would hate it. But giving up things that are bad for you is never quite as hard as you think.
Giving up the half hour of facebook or tv shows to pray is not going to be a painful sacrifice. It will be worth it, I know. Or later, giving up romantic relationships to make space in my life for a deeper relationship with Jesus will be worth it. Giving up things however innocent they may be that don't make me spiritually healthy will make my life better. I just need the courage to try it.
Pax Christi!
