Abstinence Meeting Reflection

The core theme of this abstinence project is connection, growth, and being who you are as an individual. These three essential components have been very instrumental and transformational in my life.

Additionally, I have formed a spiritual connection with a high power known as God. I realized this process is a marathon and not a race. I know that God is omnipresent and exists in all aspects of my life. God never gives us more than we can bear. God has allowed me to stay focus, positive, and energetic. God is sovereign and he helps us understand why things occurred in our life. We as individuals can never go back and change things in our lives,
