40 Days Without Coffee

last latte before Lent

Ahhhh...the joys of Madcap!

Lent is here and my sacrifice, of course, is coffee. That's pretty much a no brainer since I have a slight addiction to the steamy beverage. But more importantly I have decided to also give up a few more things that have the potential to do excessive damage but seems to creep into my mind often. Those things are worry, anxiety, and acts of desperation.
  A recent situation with a love interest brought about feelings and behaviors in me that weren't all that attractive. My emotions were unexpectedly stirred up and what followed were actions and thoughts that I don't care to ever act out again. Instead of beating myself up about acting so desperately I thought...why not use this as an opportunity to "see" myself and let God change me. What better time than Lent to do that! So, my personal sacrifices are my way of laying down a thing and a behavior that I have practiced regularly and really let God in to do a transformative work in my mind. Madcap will be missed!

But I shall return in due time...
