beyond comprehension...

with just 4 weeks to go (if that), we are officially in the home stretch and are as excited as ever for our precious boy to arrive! we made a hospital trip last weekend due to contractions, but were released to go home and "take it easy". everything is ready to go and now we just have to wait...

as we've been getting everything ready here for for greyson, i can't help but to think of the eternity we have secured in heaven through Christ. let me explain - as do any expectant parents, we've spent countless hours thinking out every detail to make sure that his new home will be perfect (setting up his nursery, the bassinett, getting all the supplies, etc.). greyson, however, is absolutely oblivious to all this. he has no idea what's in store for him. in fact, at this point, he could probably never even comprehend what life would be like beyond the womb. so here's the deal - we too, are loved and cared for in the same way. God is creating a place in eternity for every believer. and it's not only great, it is beyond our comprehension. it's so wonderful and He's thought out every perfect detail! how can we not love Him? sometimes we have the tendancy to slip away from the reality and awesomeness of our eternal Father. we can't even begin to understand what life will be like beyond our life here on earth. but we can! take a look at what Christ says...

"do not let your hearts be troubled. trust in God; trust also in me. in my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, i would have told you. i am going there to prepare a place for you. and if i go and prepare a place for you, i will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where i am. you know the way to the place where i'm going...i am the way, the truth and the life. no one comes to the Father except through me." ~John 14:1 - 6

let these words be a reminder today and everyday, to daily live in the reality that Christ has offered us! there is a better place that we all, as believers, can look forward to one day! and it's available to all! take him up on the offer!
