Home and home.

I started this post back in March after our month in Tennessee, now it's finished.



Temporary living is hard, but has given us some insights to this other temporary living.  For those who don't instantly know what I mean I'll elaborate.

Heaven.  This is not our home.  God created us to be with Him in heaven.  Before I go and paint this beautiful picture of Heaven, my home, I want to say Heaven isn't everyone's home (more on that later).
I've longed for heaven most of my life.  It'd be so plesent to not have to fight the curse anymore.  No more pain or sorrow....  So many of the feelings and longings I flet while in Tennessee for a month have reminded me of the temperary nature of our lives here.  Knoxville was fun at times and hard at times.  This life on earth is that way.  We have taste of good and evil.  And one day we will be permanantly placed in a home of either good (with God) or evil (without God).

God made a beautiful perfect creation.  He made it for His own glory and enjoyment.  Then something we call sin entered the world.  Sin and God cannot be completly togather so he cast out the sinners from their perfect home. Since 'the fall' the Earth has been cursed, desise, cancer, earthquakes are all a result of that curse.  Pain in childbirth, desires to rule, and desires to be lazy are all part of that curse.  I can't wait til I am freed, completely and eternally, from the curse.  God gives me power to fight the curse and every time I do something right it's because God has freed me from sin and the Holy Spirit is aiding me to do right.  Nothing I do in my own strength is right, it's all Christ in me and His power that allow me to do right.


Coming soon, Pride and God's goodness.
