I cannot get over how this year is just flying by. I feel like I just started my senior year yesterday and now I'm a graduate, getting my masters, renting my own apartment, driving a new car and working full time. It is just crazy! I love it though. I like being on my own, being independent and being an adult. Don't get me wrong...there are days I wish I was still just a little girl. She's still inside me somewhere 
This morning in church we took communion. Pastor Jerry shared about the intimacy, preparation and meaning of the last supper and the first communion. I am guilty of taking communion as a ritual or religious practice once a month. However, this morning I was gently convicted. God called his disciples to prepare for the last supper and so we too need to prepare ourselves for our communion and remembrance of God.
God did not just speak this to me in regards to communion but in other aspects of my life. I am praying and waiting for big things to happen, miracles if you will. I have been so occupied with having patience and waiting on the Lord but he has called me to actively wait.To get ready for His works, not just sit around twiddling my thumbs! I need to be preparing my heart and mind for when these events come to pass. Am I right? When God moves He moves big and I need to be ready for him.
And so, this morning I was reminded of the amazing sacrifice of Christ on the cross. I was moved by the love and mercy He continues to show every day. I was convicted about taking communion for granted. And I was challenged to actively wait on God and prepare my heart for the works He will complete.
