“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” (John 14:1-3).

What does Heaven look like for you?

What does Heaven look like for you?  This has been on my mind lately.  I have been perusing my Bible, looking for references to Heaven.  I don't even think I can comprehend what it will be like.

How do you continue to trust God in everything?   This has been my struggle this past week.  Trusting God with every thing, rather than just saying "I trust God."  Every time I opened my Bible this past week, I was reading verses about trust.  I am trying to do it, letting go of my worries and anxieties.  When I feel them creeping in, I instead try to pray, asking God to take away my fears, and bring me peace that He will provide.

Any new struggles/revelations this week?  I read Psalm 42 this morning, and so connected with so much of what was written.

What does Heaven look like for you?
I obviously don't know... But I think heaven looks different to everyone. I think it is the most beautiful place YOU could ever imagine. To me, the sun is shining, the trees and flowers are always in full bloom and are the brightest and most vivid colors.

How do you continue to trust God in everything? It's hard. Every day is a struggle and some days I'm much better at it than others. When I really get to thinking about it is when I struggle most because I feel let down by Him. I try to remember that all His works are for our good.

Any new struggles/revelations this week? This week was better than last week but every day holds a wide variety of emotions and struggles with God. I feel better knowing I can say "I'm mad at you for this..." And it's ok.

What does Heaven look like for you? I don't think I've really thought much about it until recently. I don't know what it will look like, but I am sure that it will be a place with no pain and hurt, and that among other things gives me hope. 

How do you continue to trust God in everything? I guess just trying to take it one day and one moment at a time. Sometimes I feel a little crazy as I am constantly giving myself reminders in my head (or even verbally sometimes). Things like: You're going to be okay. God is still as good today as he was four months ago. God loves you and weeps with/for you. God is in control. Sometimes I am just plain overwhelmed and scared. I pray and hope that someday that will lessen.

Any new struggles/revelations this week? I turned 30 this week. It was a very hard day. I always pictured myself with 3 kids or so by the time I turned 30. My husband and I had talked a lot about, well we'll have one at least! So it was very hard to pass this milestone and remember that my little boy wasn't here to celebrate with me. As hard as it was though, I was able to look back over the last 10 years especially and see God's faithfulness and blessings in sooo many parts of my life. I realized that even in my pain and grief I am thankful. I am also hopeful for the future. I've really been thinking a lot on just remembering that God is the same and He loves me now just as much as the day I was born, just as much as He did the day our son died, and just as much as He will continue to do for all of eternity.
