Preparing for a trip

As I sit here preparing for my trip to Jamaica, I feel like I have so much to do and it sucks!

I honestly hate preparing for a trip (at least the boring stuff). Like packing! I hate to pack because I tend to over-pack and I feel stupid because it would have been less of a hassle had I not brought so much. And packing for Jamaica every bit of space is needed!

However as much as I hate to pack it is a necessary part of preparation. Preparation is sometimes not fun, nor easy, but always necessary. As I have been packing I have been constantly reminded that as a Disciple of Jesus I have been told to prepare for a trip. I am reminded that we are to be constantly preparing ourselves for Heaven. I mean Jesus has been preparing for us (John 14:2), so shouldn't we prepare for Him?

What left do you have to do that would help in your preparation for that day we see Jesus?

Maybe this could help:
Mark 6:8
It might lighten the load.
