Okay, so I'm days away from leaving behind all of my worst habits and trying to dig into God's presence in a way I've never done it. Is it just the ordinary sweep of flu through our community, or is it a more sinister plot from the Prince of this World? Regardless, it hardly seems fair for me to get it now, since this is the time I should be able to pig out and enjoy the foods I want before I dump them. Perhaps God has allowed it to temper me prior to my monastic endeavor!
Regardless, I won't allow it to deter me. It's time to narrow the path, as I've certainly tread the roadside dust in the past, occasionally falling into the bramble-infested ditches. I cannot let another year slip by without becoming more serious about my relationship with God in Jesus Christ. I've so long professed to be led by the Holy Spirit. It is time to truly BE led.
So I'll essentially begin this day, willingly setting aside the pre-fast gluttony. I won't lose sight of the prize set before me. Whatever I look like a year from now, it won't be determined by the temporal, momentary desires that have distracted me from the eternal for so long.
