How do you like moving? I am sure that everyone has moved at least once in there lifetime. It takes a lot out of you. Just the preparation of all of it is tiring. Getting the bills changed over, electricity, credit card statements, phone changed, schools changed (if in another district)…..and on and on. It takes a lot to move. Maybe you have moved because your spouse had to move with the job he / she has. Maybe you had moved away from home and now the parents have gotten older and you have to move back. Maybe your house was bought out so some large company to take your spot. Whatever the reason – moving takes a lot.
I love the thought that God has set for us an internal home. We may not live forever here, but we will live forever in 1 of 2 places. We may live forever with God or with Satan. It’s that simple. God tells us this in His word. And, guess what – it’s our decision. Moving from place to place here may be our decision or not (depending on the reason(s)). When we leave this place, we will spend eternity somewhere – heaven or hell.
I am so excited that God thought enough of me to want me to join Him when my journey here is done. How great it sounds to know, we will walk on streets of Gold, the walls that surround us will be precious stones. The gates will be pearl, there will be not darkness, for God is so bright – He will shine the light. He holds a book with my name and my life stories. That is scary just the same. My life story…..GOOD & BAD.
Revelation 21:7-8
7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
I pray that you have started putting your down payment on your new home and that new home will be in heaven above.
God Bless~

As I sat and did my work this morning I thought about the “In the beginning….” from Genesis. Do you remember growing up and the story would start; “Once upon a time….”. That is what triggered these thoughts. Have you ever stopped to think that when this world ends, how will the next story start? Here is how I think it will read.
Once upon a time in a land called The United States of America, there were all types of people. There were people that believed in Christ, there were those that didn’t. There were old people, young people, children and adults. There were different colors of people, black, white, green, yellow….
See what I am saying. This world will come to an end. God tells us that there will be a new heaven and earth. Right now we can pick up our bibles and read the Old Testament and / or the New Testament. Do you think there might be another “so called” chapter? Maybe it would be called “The Rest of the Story” as Paul Harvey would say.
Some days I am ready to go and meet my creator and some days, I am glad it hasn’t happened yet. Do you wonder if “you” will be part of the next story? I know my walk isn’t as close to God as I would like for it to be; however, that would be pretty cool if I was part of the next story. Some days I wonder “what am I here for”, while others I know exactly what I am here for. I do know – God has a plan for me here and a plan for me later in Heaven. Isn’t that wonderful? To know He has our life already planned. I love the thought of that. Like I have said before, I don’t plan for much in my daily life so it is a wonderful thing to know God does plan.
Revelation 21:1
[ All Things Made New ] Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
New International Version (NIV)
