Settling In

We are in the middle of the moving process and settling in.  Normally this process is untidy at best.  We are so thankful to all those who have helped us move all of our boxes to Michigan even though we and our belongings await our final destination.  There are many plans still being made for our eventual home and we look forward to arranging it with our belongings.  Mostly, we hope that we will be settled before too long so we can begin life in our new place.  Good people like those we have met already will help speed along this process.

The biggest factor in moving is knowing when you are settled enough so that this new residence is now your home.  Some people move their belongings across the country but never get to the point where they feel settled.  They never feel like this new place that they now live is their home. It is difficult for them to begin life in that new place.

Do people do that with God?  A person like this comes to know Jesus personally and they becomes a follower of Jesus along the road of life. Yea!  Angels celebrate! In theological thinking, their new residence is no longer earth but with God in heaven.  But it is not that people don’t like their new home but they never totally get comfortable with it.  They never settle in and start their new life of working for God’s Kingdom.  How sad.

My family and I covet your prayers and patience as we settle into our new home in Michigan.  We look forward to beginning life with those at Celebration Community Church.  May we all as followers of Jesus settle in to our heavenly home so that we can get to our work for God’s Kingdom, that this kingdom will be “on earth as it is in heaven!”
