Stand Still

Sometimes I wish that the world would stop spinning and time would stand still. We would have no obligations or deadlines awaiting us. We would have no stress and suffering. In that moment we could just be.

There is a place where we can experience this. A place where there is no more suffering or sadness. A place where time does not matter and a place where we have only one purpose, the purpose of worshiping our Creator. How great that day will be...

This day is coming, no one knows when or how but someday it will be upon us. While waiting in expectation we must also live. Live and shine for the One who created all things and blessed us with life. Live each day to the fullest because time is precious and our days are numbered. Live for the one who created you and look forward to the day that you can see your Maker face to face.

Homesick

Mercy Me

"You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now"

I heard this song the day that my papa passed away and then again the day of his funeral. He has passed from this earth into eternity 2 weeks ago and is seeing our savior face to face :)
