Sobriety?
Sobriety: abstaining from excess . . . hmm, naw, that’s not really the right word. Something that describes abstinence altogether is the word I’m looking for. Well, how about “abstinence” then? Alright, abstinence it is. This week’s been a good one. Abstinence being the key there. But also in addition to abstinence there’s been some feasting and some interacting and a smidgen of changing.
This week the goal is to increase the changing by stepping up the feasting, moderating the interacting, but still keeping it in a very prominent position. And the abstinence always remains a goal of course, but for now a 2 month goal is in place. Through this I hope and pray for light. Each day is a new day to seek light and as we do so we understand life a little bit more. By receiving a little light one need not suppose that they no longer need to seek light. Light only remains as we are actively seeking after it.
God be with me, my friends and family.
