Not much exciting has happened lately. Nathan and I are getting over colds. It has been cold and rainy, but no more snow, thank goodness. We can finally see the grass again!
Last Friday, we went to get my Maryland driver's license (at the MVA). It was not a pleasant experience to say the least. In a nutshell, it involved a man of Middle Eastern descent, a thick accent, the aforementioned man not using complete sentences while giving directions and the questioning of my documentation. The whole experience left me feeling like an illegal immigrant and frustrated that this is now life post 9/11. However, it is now official; we are Marylanders.
Jarrell had met us there from work. So after the horrible experience, I let him take my car with the boys. I took his car, so I could have just a few minutes to process my frustration (cry). When I started the car, I automatically turned on the radio, but being in Jarrell's car, it wasn't on the station I have programmed in my car. But it didn't matter, because God used the song on the radio that day to remind me of a wonderful truth. The song was Carrie Underwood's Temporary Home and the chorus says:
This is my temporary home. It's not where I belong. Windows and rooms that I'm passing through. This is just a stop on the way to where I'm going. I'm not afraid because I know, this is my temporary home.
I'm so thankful that this old Earth isn't it! We have the hope of Heaven and I am so grateful!
Philippians 3:20 "But our citizenship is in Heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ"
What a nightmare. I guess the good news is that we're not yet going to the MVA for our Dr. appointments. Maybe in another year or two but not yet. Hope you all are completely over your colds so you can get out and enjoy the rediscovered grass.
