Amen Wendy!

I was agitating and chaffing against life last week and I kept thinking "what is going on Lord?" Sure enough, it was him I was missing. I just wanted to be with Christ.

you have no idea how this post struck a cord with me. we've recently moved too. it was a cross country move and it hasn't been without some serious doubts and looking back moments. i struggle daily with discontentment and not feeling at home. thank you so much for summing up what i'm feeling and redirecting me to the truth that this world is not my home and those feelings will probably never come. merry christmas to you!

It is so the Lord that I was listing to that very song this morning and pondering the same truths. Thank you for sharing!

Glad to know that there are more out there who are "homesick" for Heaven! I think of the most comfortable place on Earth and multiply it 1000 times and still can't even imagine how wonderful it will be to see Jesus! Then we will be like Him! When He was here on Earth he walked though walls, appeared on roads, and even ate! Come quickly Lord Jesus!

this is a really great post. i struggle with the exact feelings that you named. myself and my little family have more now than we ever did...but it all feels so tenuous, like we're at the top of a rollercoaster. nowhere to go but down.
i forget who said this, but i remember this quote: all each one of us has is our own experience. so what isn't a big deal for someone else could be a huge deal for us. and i don't think that feeling displaced is any worse or better than some of the other problems you named. it's just as unnerving and hard to get through, especially because it never truly ends. i've come to expect that i may never feel "right" here on earth, that i may never be truly contented. there's only one place where that will happen, and i have to wait for this earthly journey to come to an end, just as you do.
in the meantime, keep that chin up. i know exactly how you feel, to a T. keep praying and appreciating the little things. <3

So true and how easily I forget. Discontent makes me long for my true home so it really isn't the enemy just as weakness isn't either, for it makes me long for HIM instead of myself.

Amen. I long for our true eternal home, too. The older I get the more I long for heaven. All these things will pass away. God give you peace in your spirit, today.

I've been there. And like you the one thing that kept me falling into the slough of despondency was knowing that my true home is awaiting me. Prayers for God to give you peace.
