{Now honestly, here is where I want to be
}
But “Here” is somewhere for everybody. “Here” may be:
- On the Peter Pan ride at Disney World
- In the hospital surrounded by concerned family
- On a soccer field being cheered on by fans
- Sitting at your desk at work thinking, “how is it only 8:57 Am?”
- Writing a Five-Minute Friday post in my pj’s with my dog snoring beside me.
I used to wish away my “here.” If only I could…
- Get married
- Have a baby
- Make enough money to be a stay-at-home mom
- Organize my house so it’s easier to keep clean
- Lose that extra 15 pounds
- Finish that scrapbook
- Finish writing this book I may never finish
Somewhere along the way, I realized I was wishing my life away. My life is “HERE.” Not tomorrow, not 5 minutes from now, not yesterday. No more “If only I could do this, then I could relax and enjoy my here and now.”
Here I am happy.
Here I am content.
Here I am blessed.
Here sometimes I’m sad.
Here sometimes I’m frustrated.
Here sometimes I’m mad.
But here is where I am, and I’m choosing to enjoy the moment.
There will come a day when “Here” is no more. I hope I get to see the rapture in one of my “here” moments. But whether or not I do, when I’m no longer “Here,” I’ll be with Jesus!
