My husband and I are still navigating this transient phase of life. 10 days at one house, then a stint at our 2nd house (his parent’s) followed by another 10 days or so… I’ve learned to pack “quick and light,” but never as quick and light as David. 🙄 As with other phases of life: I’m asking for God to: use this season for His Glory, and give me perspective and clarity to see all He’s teaching us. A word that comes to mind is, temporary.
1 Peter 1:17 “And if you address as Father the One who impartially judges (according to each one’s work), live out your time 🔥of temporary residence here- in reverence.”
Our time IS short on earth and I don’t mean just because of the chaos and End Times headlines. “Life is fleeting “ as my mom would say, “so, spend your time wisely.” I always wondered how hours and hours in a ballet studio translated in God’s Economy? 🤔 Or days on end of cooking, cleaning, homeschooling while raising children? My final analysis: He wants my heart.
John 17:16 “They (followers) do not belong to this world just as I do not belong to this world.” –Jesus
More than anyone, Jesus understood temporary! A man on a mission to literally save the world, He fully grasped the shortness of His time and where Home truly was. If I could keep a speck of that perspective, it would help me a lot. And if not? Then “please remind me, LORD, that You want me heart, mind and soul… all in, and all for You. Every moment. Everyday. No matter where I am or what I’m doing. That’s the key… and seeking You 1st will take care of any other questions.”
I am NOT of this world, it’s all just temporary. I’m coming Home someday! ❤️Anna
