I Can Only Imagine

My hourly pay isn't much and it is a number that I try so hard not to let define me. Though I don't make a ton of money, I am ALWAYS abundantly blessed. My belly is full (really full), I have a roof over my head, a husband who would do anything for me and a son who loves and adores me. With Thanksgiving around the corner, I am again reminded of how truly God blesses me. I am thankful for my past and my future, as God has closed and opened many, many doors. Tonight, after work, I had my stationed tuned in 106.9 the Lite. This is a Christian station located in Asheville, NC. I have heard the song "I Can Only Imagine" many times by the group Mercy Me. But tonight for whatever reason, this song and it's lyrics spoke to me. Never in my life, have I ever been so moved and touched by a song. The Holy Spirit was definitely with me. I pulled in the drive, parked my car and sat and listened while God spoke to me through those very lyrics I have heard over and over. I sat in awe as tears streamed down my face. Not because I was sad, but because I fervently listened. I don't care if you are pink, purple, black, white, gay, straight, fat or skinny...you have to believe there is a higher power. That you do have a purpose. The song, "I Can Only Imagine" helps to put all things in perspective for me. I do believe there is a God, I am his child and I do have a purpose. The song goes on to say "Surrounded by your glory, what will my heart feel? Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still?" "Will I stand in your presence, or to my knees will I fall? Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all" "I can only imagine" For right now, I can only imagine what that very day will be like. The day, I leave my temporary home and come face to face with my Creator, Lord, Savior and King. I imagine it will be a day filled with much joy. To hear those words "well done my good and faithful servant" Ohh what sweet words those will be. I can't wait to hug my loved ones necks, ask God all the questions I have ever wanted to ask, play fetch with my Oscar and Gunnar, talk to Saint Pete, walk those streets of gold, sing and dance. When I think of what Heaven might actually be like, my mind could go on for days. Until that glorious day comes, I will sit an imagine, imagine and think...What will it be like?
