Thinkin’ about Heaven

When I think about Heaven, I get that feeling that you get the night before you moved into your dorm to start college. Know what I mean? That excited, “I can’t wait to get there!” kinda feeling.

I was listening to Enfield while working out a little while back (I usually listen to really upbeat Japanese music when I’m at the gym so this was unusual) and in “Finally Home,” there’s a portion that goes, “When shall I see my Father’s face and in His safe hands rest?”

And it made me think… once we’re in Heaven, that’s it. There’s no more earthly ministry left for us anymore.

I think about Heaven a lot during finals week (haha anyone else with me on this?) ’cause I just want to be done with this world and have perfect fellowship with the saints of all history and to finally walk by sight and not by faith.

It makes me think of Acts 20:24 (hi Tia ) and reminds me of how Paul struggle seen in Philippians 1:22-23, wanting to labor for ministry but still, being “hard-pressed between” that and his “desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.”

Granted, for me, it’s not the same kind of v. 24 “Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you,” in my situation but at the same time, I can see where that struggle comes from.

Haha I meant for this to be a really short entry about that feeling I get when I think about Heaven but it ballooned out into something bigger. >_>;; Which isn’t a surprise, I hope.

Ok. It’s late. I have a weird sleeping schedule at home. =_= Need to fix it before summer session starts. (I can hear my dad snoring downstairs. And my door’s closed. Dang.)
