Lent Begins.

Tomorrow, Lent begins.

I'm going to try to abstain from the internet as much as i can. Some things are personal. But one thing i'll try is to be off facebook. Because that's where most of my time is spent on.

Maybe spend more time in prayer and silence because those are what i lack yet need most at the moment. Be more in touch with real people. With family. With friends. With nature. I miss the comforts of kuching, where there is room for silence, even in a crazy home.

In a weird, maybe even perverted way, i'm hoping that abstinence will redeem me.
But it does, doesn't it? Because i need grace badly. Don't we all..

It isn't that there are no other ways of redemption, don't get me wrong. As if only these 40 days in a year can help any of us. But somehow, to have an aim..a time-frame..gives a certain sort of drive.

I want to start all over again.

And to start all over again, the old self has to die. And so i'll give up what i can. To die so that i can live again. God help me.

At the end of these forty days, i want to come out of it alive. 40 days in the desert. Then meet my angels. Who will guide and strengthen me.

In this period of time, i will try to write down what i go through. And perhaps, if appropriate, i'd post it here.


And if God should allow me to fall again..i guess He wants me to learn to climb up again. and again and again if i must.

Please journey with me. And with Him. And help me along the way. And do share with me your feelings, experiences and thoughts. Because i don't think i can do it alone. Nobody can.

You don't have to be a Catholic. Everyone has attachments and who knows if you free yourselves from that, you might find some sort of release from this busy busy world.

A Blessed Lenten season to you.
