That Day

Will there ever be a day when I won't feel totally and completely awkward in my own skin?

Will there ever be a day when I won't hear one ounce of bad news or feel some sort of heartache and pain?

Will there ever be a day when regardless of many calories I eat or how little time I spend on the treadmill I won't have to grease myself down just to fit into my jeans?

Will there ever be a day when I'll know more Bible verses than song lyrics?

Will there every be a day when my shoulders won't ache, my knees won't creak and I won't grind my teeth in my sleep?

Will there ever be a day when the thought of others comes to mind before thoughts of myself?

Will there ever be a day when I have my priorities in the right order?

Will there ever be a day when I won't feel lonely even though I am surrounded by people?

Will there ever be a day when my mind isn't plagued by doubt, guilt, worry, fear, insecurity, uncertainty and trepidation?

Will there ever be a day when all is as it should be? When creation bursts forth into song and gladness, no longer groaning for what it was created to be?


Actually...yes.  And I cannot wait for that day.


"Every valley shall be raised up,
every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level,
the rugged places a plain.


And the glory of the LORD will be revealed,
and all people will see it together.
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
Isaiah 40:4-5
