Between Heaven and Earth
One friend bringing new life into the world while another friend fights for her life. Such a tenuous balance. There is joy and agony, laughter and tears, struggle and victory. The one thread that weaves through both situations is hope. We have a blessed hope, my sisters in Christ and I. We place our hope in God's sovereignty, His plan, and His timing. Trusting that nothing is wasted in God's economy, that all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. So we celebrate and grieve with peace in our hearts. We continue living on earth but heading for heaven. So we live, between heaven and earth, knowing we are firmly in His grip.

I have kerned by submitting to His will, we literally have to die to ourselves to live in Him. We are most definitely lving between heaven and earth. Life is so very interesting. God shows us so many examples of Himself and His will,but we need to slow down and die to ourselves to live in peace with Him. I share with you in the friend that is moving towards home. Lord,God.... We want to go home!!
Carrie, So true :) Life interesting and God is faithful to guide us. Even so, Maranatha Lord, come quickly!
