My Temporary Home

On my way home tonight I heard the song "Temporary Home" by Carrie Underwood. It is such a wonderful song and it got me to really thinking. It was a 35 minute drive home...so that was a lot of thinking for my little brain, I know! LOL

Seriously though, "temporary home" really meant nothing to me when I was little. Growing up I never thought of my home as a pit stop or a side street to my real Home I anxiously await on now! As a child I believed in God and Jesus Christ, but that was just it. I prayed when I needed a good grade, or not to get whipped to hard and even hoping to not get caught during certain times in my teen life. God was there for me every time I called upon him then and I still never put much thought into him or heaven ( as sad as that is).

Now as an adult my thought process and my Faith have grown so much. I don't just believe, I trust and LOVE my God and Jesus! Life has thrown me a few curve balls and sliders, but with God's forgiveness and abiding love, my life is wonderful!

My life to many is not the life they might choose, but for me it is the best! My temporary home is not filled with a lot furniture or things to make a home have that warm cozy feeling when you walk in ( it is filled with a ton of toys though, LOL) but it is filled with 4 amazing kids and my wonderful husband! My temporary home is not big, actually it is quite small! As much as I wish for a bigger home, it is still my home and it is filled with love. I can't thank the Lord enough for this amazing temporary home. I live in this place we call home, but I know this is nothing compared to the amazing home I someday will live in. I long for this place and I long for all of my family and friends to be there with me!

I know there is a song out there that says something like wanting to go to Heaven but I don't wanna go now ( I think it is Kenney Chessney who sings it). I know a lot of people probably feel this way, but knowing the pain and suffering that occurs here during a persons life... I WANNA go now. I don't want to ever feel that pain or suffering. I want to see the streets of Gold, the Pearly Gate and most of all the Lord in his throne waiting on me and my family to join in the happiness that fills Heaven! I can only imagine what it truly looks and feels like and I am sure it is beyond any part of my imagination!!!!

I pray the Lord comes soon...
