slipped on my lenten commitment

i unconsciously ate a cookie. a small animal cracker. i am ok; i have been forgiven and i have forgiven myself; it was a profound lesson though. the sins to loom out for r not the premeditated sins b/c u know ur gonna do them...the sins to look out for r the sins that u do out of habit or without thinking. i was handing the cookies to my daughter and without even thinking about it, i grabbed one and stuck it in my mouth; only after i swallowed it did it occur to me that im not supposed to be eating any sweets. i was a little saddened b/c i wanted to not have a mistake. but i realized sin is ineviatable or else we would not need jesus...the important thing is to repent and not c the mistake as freedom to sin more. and i dont intend to...i must stay diligent. i am really growing.....amen
