1. Heaven: I wonder what Heaven will be like?....the descriptions in the Bible say that it is "...flowing with milk and honey..." (Exodus 3:8) and "the streets are of pure gold..." (Revelation 21:21), but is it literal? We analyze so many things in the Bible, saying it's just symbolism or it doesn't mean that literally. So I wonder, are those descriptions of Heaven literal? I think my heaven would be flowing with sweets and ice cream and the streets would be jeweled with rubies, diamonds, and gold! My heaven would be a dance floor, an amusement park, a shopping mall, a party! It would be fun and exciting and we would all dance and sing and not judge one another. We would all be happy and healthy. There would be no sickness and everyone would be perfect. God's perfect. I wonder what heaven will be like?
2. My Future: I wonder what my future holds? A degree, a career, a family? Will I look the same as I do now? My future according to me would be that of contentment. I just want to be content in the place that I will be. Although I do want "things," like a family, a career, a beautiful home by the beach....I want my future to be bright. I want to have my mind not set on worldly desires but the desires God has for me. I want to be content in his plan. And instead of saying, "I wonder what my future holds?" I want to say, "I wonder what God has in store for me in the future?"
3. How I'm Viewed: What do people see when they look at me? Do they see beauty? God? Happiness? Sadness? Joy? What do they see? I would want them to see God, first off. I want them to see Christ through me, although I still struggle with what that means. I want people to see happiness and understand and that they can trust in me. I want them to see joy in me. I wonder what people see in me?
4. Death: I wonder how and when I'll die? If I could choose to know when I will die, I would take it. I want to know how much time I have left. I want to know when it will happen. Why? I don't know. I guess so that I can cherish the time I have left. I take for granted "my time" here on earth because I don't think I'll die soon; but maybe if I knew, I would cherish it more. I don't know. But what if I found out I had 50 years left? I probably wouldn't cherish the first 49 years at all. If I found out I had 50 minutues left, what would I change about the way I live. I don't think anything. I just wonder when I'll die, I guess?
5. My beliefs: I wonder if I'm believing the right things? Is God real? Is there something out there that is bigger than me? Something I can't see? I wonder if I'm believing the things I do, to hide from reality; if I'm standing behind "my God" in order to not face the problems in front of me. I wonder is the things I'm believing in are a waste of time. I know they are not and that's where my faith comes in....but I still wonder...and I think it's ok to wonder. I wonder if "my God" is real and if He really does love me. I wonder if there is actually nothing out there and when I die, I die. Done. Nothing comes after life and the things here on earth are all we get. It seems sad if that were true, but what if it was? What if all I'm believing in is just a lie and everything I think is true, is false? I wonder if I'm believing the right things?
Ok, there you have it. The things I wonder about....
Hopefully, I'll have a regular post next week.
Once again and as always,
Peace, Love, and Finding 6 bucks in your pocket :D
