Yesterday I had to run to Walmart to pick up a few staples. Wally world was packed to the brim. People were buying snow blowers, shovels, salt, and tons of food. Preparing for the 12-20 inches of snow we are about to receive. This storm has given all of us time to prepare for it. Anticipation almost makes it worse wondering how bad it will actually be. Nervous about my assistant and my sitter possibly driving in the weather, I close my office. Snow day for the kids. My poor hubby will have to work no matter what. Very worried about tomorrow.
All of this makes me think about preparation. If we prepared for Jesus like we do for the snow, what a change would come. We wouldn't have to worry about those daily worries. We would be prepared. Lately, I have been slacking on my preparation. I REALLY need to go to confession. Those everyday sins just pile up like 12-20 inches of snow. Weighing me down. Making life harder. White out conditions where I have a hard time seeing God. Feeling his presence. Frozen really.Frozen in acting like I have faith. Being the faithful Catholic that I know I am.
