Day 6 - Life is a Temporary Assignment
Ask God to help you see life on earth as He sees it. Because earth is not our ultimate home explains why, as followers of Jesus, we experience difficulty, sorrow, and rejection in this world. This is not the end of the story.
Never focus on temporary crowns. 1Peter 2:11
How should the fact that life on earth is just a temp assign change the way I am living right now? It would change A LOT of my life. My materialism, my relationships with coworkers, my stress level, worrying, focus...
So this was the day that I heard the sad news of a friends dad passing away and I wrote to Lauren with tons of questions. After I read this days lesson, I realised that this really is just our temporary home and that I cannot wait to meet up with all of you in heaven someday. Lauren asked me to introduce her to my dad when we get there, and it got me so pumped to want to be there now because I really really wish she knew my dad. But I dont think I have fulfilled my purpose and it's not yet my time, but it made me realise how short life really is and that we will be there together someday. I really loved that this day fell on the day that it did. and thank you so much Lauren for being an awesome friend. now how do I change the way I am living my temporary assignment to get to heaven with all of you...
