As you might know, I am coming home in just a few days. College life has been fun so far, but i would like a break, and am looking forward to coming home.
I woke up today slowly, a few hours ago just laying in my bed wishing i could go home, and then wondering why I felt so pressured to be home. My morning routine, and even daily life has been altered ever so slightly by wanting to be home. When asked how i'm doing I respond "Good, but I can't wait to be home" instead of just "good." When i think of how fun doing something here would be, I can't help but think of how much more fun it would be at home. And this morning my room mate got me thinking by saying something to the point of, "I am past the point of just feeling like going home, it's like I need to go home now."
The last few days My Christian Life and Thought class has been discussing whether earth is our home or not. It struck me: What would my life look like if I felt the same urgency to prepare for my Heavenly homecoming as I did my earthly return to my place of birth? What would be characteristic of me? What daily routines would change? Would i see the world differently?
