little things, big stuff

I’m blessed to have multiple wonderful women in my life who are great resources and share great resources. Poems and song lyrics speak to me especiallly much. Tonight in Bible study, we listened to this song…

In Exile
by Thrice

I am in exile, a sojourner
A citizen of some other place
All I’ve seen is just a glimmer in a shadowy mirror
But I know, one day well see face to face

I am a nomad, a wanderer
I have nowhere to lay my head down
There’s no point in putting roots too deep when I’m moving on
Not settling for this unsettling town

My heart is filled with songs of forever
The city that endures when all is made new
I know I don’t belong here, I’ll never
Call this place my home, I’m just passing through

I am a pilgrim, a voyager
I wont rest until my lips touch the shore
Of the land that I’ve been longing for as long as I’ve lived
Where they’ll be no pain or tears anymore

My heart is filled with songs of forever
The city that endures when all is made new
I know I don’t belong here, I’ll never
Call this place my home, I’m just passing through

Such great truth!

[And another thing: I will never forget that God's timing is perfect because I have seen evidence of it in my life (and the lives of others) over and over again. Praise God for answered prayers and a plan far greater than our own.]
