As I am typing these words, my heart is racing and I have this rush of overwhelming relief flowing through my body. This feeling is so powerful that I might just cry right now. What in the world am I so emotional about? My handsome husband is on his way home from Iraq and our family will be reunited. Can I just say, I LOVE MY MAN! Anticipation! I can hardly get a grip on the fact that we will be together again in a matter of weeks.

So, of course this got me thinking about looking forward towards the future. I am the type of girl who is always jumping ahead and enthusiastic about the next big project or event. When that time comes, I throw myself in feet first and never look back. Its just how I operate. Some people would say that I am too passionate or too “worked up” about what I get involved in. But, now that I think about it, this character trait is what makes me so overwhelmingly excited about my future in Heaven…with Jesus!

This world is not the end for those who make Christ their Lord and King. Does this scare you or thrill you? Don’t hear me say that we are not to make the most of our time here on earth while loving and serving our LORD with all of our mind, soul and strength (Matthew 12:30) If the thought of “this earth is not the end” frightens you, I encourage you to search the scriptures and ask the LORD to show you a sliver of what HE has in store for you in the eternal.

I’m dreaming of the day when I will see my KING face to face. No doubt that my heart will be exploding and HIS glory will blow my mind.

Ephesians 3:20-21
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
