I am so sad today. It's probably the fact that I am moving again...and reminded that there is no real home here. I am limited in what I can say for various reasons. There are some situations that have made my heart so sad. As I kept trying to "rise above it"..God allowed a dear friend to call... I shared a bit with her.....and after hanging up...I realized that what I long for is heaven.
I can't wait till I will be in a place where the focus is totally and completely...Christ. There will be unbroken fellowship...no goodbyes...no separation....there will be such sweet community. A place where christians won't be flakey....hold grudges...or be too busy......I won't be misunderstood...or put in a category based on single or married...I will have more brothers and sisters than I can count...love will be perfected and sin will not be present. I am a bit disheartened tonight. Everything around me is just not how it is supposed to be. I long for a home..not an earthly dwelling...this longing is for something so much deeper... I know it's for the community that will only exist in heaven. This past Sat. really created a stirring in my heart...it was this taste of something that I want more of....my sadness is over the fact that it just can't exist here...at best we get a glimpse or a taste. I can only imagine how Paul felt....but must do what he did....until God calls me home......so I press on...take it a day at a time...even when I don't "feel" like it.

such a sweet post. to long for some permanency in Christ...
i'm sitting here on my couch thinking about how i can't seem to want to do anything. i don't want to pursue a career. i don't want to live here. i just want change. i think i too long for my home.
Me too...won't it be so great...our only work will be loving and serving Christ!! Maybe we will run really fast and have super bikes. A huge ice skating rink...hahaha probably not..but I can't think of anything better than being with Christ...and all of the people we love forever! That is greatness!! =)
