“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.””
Revelation 21:1-4
Oh how my heart longs or this day. Some weeks more than others. It has been one of those weeks. One thing after another. One uncertainty after the next. So many people in my life struggling emotionally, physically, and spiritually. It can all seem so overwhelming and exhausting. Sometimes I feel completely helpless. I want to fix it all, but I know that I can’t.
While working on my website I decided to compile all of my old blog entries documenting our journey with Isaac and Trisomy 13. As I read my own words the tears started flowing. 7 years later it still hurts. I still miss my son. Don’t get me wrong, that precious boy brought has brought us more joy than anything, but my heart still longs to see him again. My heart longs for all 4 of my babies to be in my arms. My heart longs for heaven. I’m so thankful that I documented my thoughts and feelings during that time because there are so many little details that I had forgotten until I went back and read about them. It’s amazing how one of the hardest and saddest seasons in your life can also be one of the sweetest. God is good.
After a tough day, week, or even year I can find rest in the hope I have in Jesus! Because of Jesus those tears WILL be wiped away! Because of Jesus we don’t have to suffer for all of eternity! Praise The Lord for this hope!
