Will I See Heaven in Mine?

Highlight of my day:  The realization that I only have one course left to really worry about.

Two others may as well be completely finished.  And the other two I only have one "big" thing left for each, neither of which am I worried about.

Also, Coldplay continues to fascinate me.  They have a new EP out entitled "Prospekt's March". The song "Glass of Water" is awe-inspiring. Go listen if you haven't.

And so, what shall I tell you today, besides the aforementioned?

Shall I tell you I'm working Black Friday?  Shall I tell you that I had an incredible time at dinner tonight just talking with my family?  Shall I tell you that I shared a picture of a scantily clad model to a classroom full of males as part of a presentation I made today (and I happened to be the only girl in said class) to persuade them to use recycled paper?  Shall I tell you what I plan on doing for my final project in Web Design?

No.  I don't think I shall tell you about any of those things.

Instead, I think I shall tell you of the glory it will be to finally see Jesus face to face.  Because it is the one thing that has been on my mind today.  We all have our images of Him in our minds, and the ones people have created for us (which I tend to shun for some reason).  But this is a different image.  I wondered first if I would see the holes in His hands and feet and sides.  Then I wondered what color hair He would have (for I read a book once that depicted Him with blonde hair... but we won't get into details).  I never pictured His earthly being as anything incredible to admire. Because, in fact, it probably was not.  I don't say it to be mean. I say it to be fact.  Because many of us probably feel our own fleshy bodies leave something (or a great many somethings) to be desired. But a Heavenly being?  Have you ever inspired the thought in yourself?  Or maybe it wasn't me who inspired this thought to think about in the first place.  It may very well have been the Spirit.  All I know is that I do not know what He'll look like (I know, convenient for some of you - however you would like to interpret 'convenient').  But it will be beautiful.  More beautiful than anything I have ever laid eyes on.  But the best part?

I can just smile at Him, and He'll smile back, and He'll know everything I was thinking, both good and bad, and we'll know He already took it with Him to the cross.
