Let's consecrate! (#2)

Consecration...To be honest, I was not that excited about it. People were talking it up and in my heart, I just did not understand the big deal. When I got there at 5 to practice for worship, I began to become really excited. I realized that this service was about more than just myself. It was about dedicating our lives for the sole purpose of serving people and serving God. I realized that this is where He wants me and that I am to live up every moment including the waking up early for clinicals and the crazy studying schedule.

When the service started, I became aware of the unity that was going to exist within our class as a result of consecration night. We were all embarking on a brand new journey not as individuals, but as a class. I was also impressed with the way our class planned this program and put things together. And oh my gosh - the musical talent in our cohort! I loved everything that everyone did. Ti, Sonya, Janell, Alicia, Katie...you guys blew me away! I loved it!

As I was sitting in the front row listening to Mr. Peck, I noticed my mind starting to wander. I began to think about how I finally made it into the program and that I was so privileged to be a part of the service that night. I also began to fast forward my life and saw myself as a senior sitting within the same spot and saying to myself, "I did it." And really, I saw that for our entire class. I believe that God has each of us in here and that we are meant to make it as long as we do the hard work. However my favorite part of the night was definately the free cookies! =) The whole night was a success. I love my little white Bible and my yellow flower is still blooming on my table. I hope to have more pictures of consecration up soon.
