Worth it All

  Worth it all. Worth it all- Heaven will be worth it all. Worth it all- worth it all- Someday. Heaven will be worth it all.🎶

Sometimes i hesitate to write or think about Heaven.. because of my fears that I’ll die and then everyone looking back will say- oh yeah. See God was preparing her.. but tonight I am gonna write because I don’t believe we serve a God like that.. 

            I choose to believe in a God that gives us glimpses into His eternal glory because of Love.. because He doesn’t want us to fear Heaven.. tonight as I was getting ready for bed the above song was on my mind. And I’m so thankful for the touch that God gave me.. Worth it all.. worth it all Heaven will be worth it all..

Worth all the busy weeks when we struggled to keep our heads above water... 

Worth all the times mamas choose happiness of the kids over the cleanliness of the hut.

Worth all the times we’ve bowed  our heads and asked God  to forgive us for saying the one too many things.

Worth all the effort time and money we have put  into ourselves to become a better me (in the right way) so we can become better for our families.

Worth all the noses we’ve wiped the times we’ve said “no” or the times even we’ve said “yes” and added yet another thing to our schedule.. 

worth all the confused tears..

Worth all the emotions-all the times I’ve not even been able to say how my heart feels because well— it’s too lumpy and awkward to try to tell..

Worth it all to me- because of the rest that will be there.

Sometimes our hearts are just not at home here... somewhere there is a longing that cannot be reached- cannot be identified. Don’t you think that that is Heaven tugging?!.. I don’t know..  this post was not long thought of...  but I appreciate the glimpse God gave me of how it WILL be worth it all...

Hi Erica, grandpa wonders if some of your writing would be messenger material. It was good and we appreciate that you're following in obedience.
