Today we finish the first four days of Lent. These can be a warm-up to help us get the feel of this "40 day" season. Take another look at your Lenten plans and possibly make some adjustments.
- Mind: No unnecessary "I don't know"'s and "I'm sorry"'s. Continue to practice being more direct with wants and to share fondness openly. No excesses and clutter- live a simple living.
- Body: No ice cream at commons. No over-eating. Be more green in eating. "You are what you eat."
- Soul: Play guitar at least once everyday. Blog and write frequently. Finish one unfinished song during the 40 days of Lent.
Lent, for me, is all about overcoming the weaknesses I may have in myself. "I've got the willpower when it comes to some things, but I just can't seem to get anything moving in these other parts of my life. It's like I'm paralyzed." What I ask for this Lent, is to heal my paralysis in that I can do something about the parts of my life I want to change. To be a good person, but to also become a better one in my relationships with myself, others, and the spiritual senses, is what I wholly aim for. To hold confidence in all I am, and to not be afraid and back down, is what I hope to attain. If "I am the sum of my experiences," let my experiences speak to something- someone. To be a guiding light, but to also remember the light that brings me back Home- Home is with You.
