Ephesians 1:7-10 – In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace which he lavished upon us. For he has made known to us in all wisdom and insight the mystery of his will, according to his purpose which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

Today is Thursday. I cannot tell you how exhausted I feel right now. As I read that Scripture, I am overwhelmed with how important it is for me to get myself to Confession soon. I know the exhaustion and the wear-and-tear that I feel right now is due in part to the need for a renewal of soul and spirit. I am aware of my disconnection with Him and gradually, my heart yearns more and more to be reunited.

This week has been one of the most challenging weeks at work ever. My head cannot wrap itself around the fact that its already Thursday. You know when you are driving and you get to your destination only to realize you don't quite remember how you got there. Dangerous, I know. I relate that to my week this week.... its just as dangerous spiritually to arrive at the end of the week and not quite know how you got here.

I am making a personal commitment to get myself to the Sacraments today/tomorrow. Its necessary for me to be renewed and fulfilled. He lavishes His grace upon me. All I have to do is receive.
