Lighter.
I have been reading a lot of Cerulean Sanctum lately. It has become one of my favorite blogs because it challenges me and, while there have been times where that call to action has seemed difficult and frustrating, it has been a good experience to this point.
Today I came across this article and it got me thinking. I have been a proponent for the ascetic lifestyle, but often times my actions do not prove my convictions.

What does it look like to live lighter?
Is it the same for all people, all situations?
+++
I feel the desire, and see the benefits, of living on less. The opening up of doors for charity. The ability to move quickly and easily if the Lord so desires. The freedom from worrying about and taking care of stuff.
In my own life, I need to discern how much is too much.
Maybe, more accurately, I need to figure out how much is enough.

Is there anything, material or otherwise, that you can/should part with in your life?

One of the questions that I ask myself that consistently leads me to conviction is, "When was the last time you were hungry?" Sometimes I can say yesterday. Others I can say last week or even last month.
Related questions: When was the last time you were good and bored? Have you ever slept without a roof over your head apart from your own choice? Why does my garbage output exceed the capacity of my massive garbage can this week?
