It’s been a while since I did one of these posts, so I decided to today when I couldn’t think of anything to post. And I found quite a few things I had forgotten about writing while I was flipping through my “Blessings and Stories” notebook, so there may be some more posts like this in the future!

For a long time I have believed that I will go to heaven when I die.
(Once when I was little, I decided that heaven didn’t exist, and you just sat in the dark after you died. I’m not sure if I would have come to that conclusion if I had really thought about it, but I didn’t think too hard.)
Anyway, for a long time I have believed that I will go to heaven when I die.
But just recently it really occurred to me: heaven is something that is real, and it’s going to happen to me.
I once had a friend ask me, “Do you get dizzy when you think about forever?” I had never gotten dizzy when I thought about forever, and I thought it was kind-of a weird question.
But at that moment, as I began to think about what heaven really meant–of seeing Christ’s face, and of spending eternity with the One who died for me–I was dizzy!
I think of taking my last breath, and knowing that everlasting joy, peace, hope, and comfort lay ahead!
And I think of Jesus, hanging on the cross, taking His last breath, and knowing that IT WAS FINISHED. And I thought that I had had a sense of accomplishment before!
Hanna,
It is hard to comprehend what all took place on that cross…but while we try to understand it we live in its redemptive truth.
Praise God you know him.
Sweet post, Hanna!!
BTW: Did I ask you that?? ?
No, it was Juliana. 🙂
Was I there too?? I feel like I’ve heard that before……..huh. #Baffled
I don’t think so. . . you might have though. . . #IDontKnow It was a long time ago.
Great post Hanna!
This is very thought provoking! 🙂 Yeah, it kinda makes me dizzy, also, when I think about there was NO BEGINNING to God.
Isn’t that just crazy?

Hey Hanna? I was just wondering, did Micheal and Lucy ever end up getting those birthday cards that I sent to them a while ago?? ~Sky
They got something in the mail from you. Was it the stickers?
Sky said that yes, it was the stickers. 🙂 🙂
