Hey Quest! Last week at church, our priest reminded us that before Christmas we are preparing for Christ's coming. Then he asked us all this question: are we waiting on Christ? or is Christ waiting on us? Well, that really hit me. If Christ isn't your number one in life, and if you put Him off to side while focusing on the things of this world, then Christ is waiting on you. Quest, I encourage you all to really think about the way you live on a day-to-day basis, and see if you are truly waiting on Christ and preparing for His coming or if you are making Him wait on you while you do what YOU want to do, while you give into temptation and sin and turn away from Him, leaving Him waiting for you. Sorry if this is starting to sound really preach-y, but I think this is a really good question to ask ourselves and think about.
Are we waiting on Christ or is Christ waiting on us?
Good luck on all your tests/projects/papers/finals...wow these have been some busy weeks!

P.S. One week and one day till the QUEST REUNION! :) Anddd two weeks till Christmas!
I LOVE THIS! that really puts the importance of our actions and time spent with Christ into perspective!! sweet. I feel like a lot of times we intend to spend time with God, like read our Bible right before we go to sleep, but then when we actually get there, we make excuses. "Oh man, I'm too tired to do it now. I'll do it tomorrow." Or maybe we say "I wouldn't understand it if i did it now anyways." "I need sleep." We just spout out reasons NOT to spend time with the Lord. the reality is what you said; he's waiting for us when we should be waiting for Him! We should yearn to talk to him and show our love for him and pray. That desire to learn about him and tell others should be more powerful than our need for sleep! thanks Haley, i just LOVE this post.
