Worth waiting for...

I don't have alot to say today. I was just thinking about how when I was younger everyone was saying how the time was soon coming for Christ's return to bring His church home and praying it would be soon. I was saved, but my human self didn't want Him to return too quickly. I wanted to get married, have kids, grandkids, live an exciting life, travel, do really cool things first. But as I've gotten older and have seen so much hurt in this world, and all the devastation going on today, I have changed my heart and joined the others in that prayer. I long for that day to hear the trumpets in the air. The day when the saints will rise to meet Him in the clouds! I pray I get to see it in my lifetime. How exciting would that be! Sure I still want those earthly things, my flesh still wants to be a grandma someday. But I long for no more tears...just joy and praising the Lord forever! I just pray we can reach more souls that haven't heard of His grace before He comes. Gotta get out there and GO!

This song touched me today...
Hillsong, You Hold Me Now

On that day when I see
All that You have for me
When I see You face to face
There surrounded by Your grace

All my fear is swept away
In the light of your embrace
When Your love is all I need
And forever I am free

Where the streets are made of gold
In Your presence healed and whole
Let the songs of heaven rise to you alone

No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now,
You hold me now

In this life I will stand
Through my joy and my pain
Knowing there's a greater day
There's a hope that never fails

When Your name is lifted high
And forever praises rise
For the glory of Your Name
I'm believing for the day

When the wars and violence cease
All creation lives in peace
Let the songs of heaven rise to you alone

No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness, no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now,
You hold me now

For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your name

For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your name

For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your name

For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your name

No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now,
You hold me now

No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now,
You hold me now

No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now,
You hold me now
