A Resignation

Dear Diary,

Today, I resigned from my position as the deacon for the Clergy. I did it, because I felt that I could not be the type of a deacon father Devons was expecting me to be and he was, after all, the man who invited me to the Clergy and the position, to begin with. While we share the same faith, we go about it in very different ways. His way in never-changing and forceful. Mine, is open-minded and compassionate, above anything else. I wish to serve the community. I wish to welcome everyone who's willing to listen, to the Sunday Service. Even warlocks. I don't believe I'm any less of a priestess for not finding it my place to purge these... evil beings, as father would call them.

I would wish for a peaceful co-existence, but of course, even I am not naïve enough to assume that's just going to happen.

So many, over the course of the past few months, have suggested that I would have some fun, live a little and gain some experiences. Well, that, is exactly what I plan on doing - while still being a priestess of the Light just the same. I have my faith and that will never change, but why have I denied myself everything else?

It is found in the world and in the eyes of the people you help. The people you protect. It is in doing what is right, despite the personal costs."

Comment by Fraxinus of the Harvest on June 3, 2012 at 4:16pm: My mother was a devout priestess. She once said, "Those who wear faith as armor, and bear hope as a shield are only vulnerable to themselves." Do not despair, my dear. Remain strong for yourself and those you inspire.

Comment by Arialynn Dawnfield on June 3, 2012 at 4:37pm: "Your faith in the Light has always been unshakeable, Celestyna. But you yourself are an ore against a relentless grindstone, bent and ground by the wills of others. I hope to see the days when the faith in yourself is unshakeable as well, and the grindstone is your will and your will alone. Light's blessing to you, and may this journey likewise bring you only blessings."
