The now and the not yet.

The shadowlands and the reality.

Seeing through a glass darkly and seeing face-to-face.

Hope deferred, and hope realized.

Grieving here but with sure hope of the Almighty God’s promise to come, and that sure hope evidenced; laughter and smiles, peace and great joy, no more tears, no more pain, no more fears.

Once longing to be in His presence, and now standing in His presence, resting in the One who has redeemed her soul and experiencing the reality of our Life that is truly life!

“Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.“ Psalm 30:5

“He Himself is our peace!” Ephesians 2:14

“And with your final heartbeat, kiss the world goodbye! Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory’s side, and fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus and live!!” –
