Why do we always think that when we get there, it will all be better?  How often have I told myself I would wait until then? Whenever or whatever then is, it seems more appealing because it provides some relief from now.  There is also the version of fearing what will happen then.  Those are the moments I want to stay where I am due to fear of what the future may hold.  Or I want to hold on to how it was then because I can’t imagine it being any better.  I clearly plan to use time for my particular purposes.  I forget that there is no time now or then where God is not.  If I am willing to pause for just a moment and believe or at least be willing to believe that God is greater than any experience I am or will have there is no need to focus on then.  If the then I am imagining is good, I can take on the characteristics of who I am going to be then, right now.
