Grown Up

“What do you want to be when you’re grown up?”

Haven’t you asked that question and been asked that question your whole life?
My answers have changed throughout the years:
A teacher
Married
A mother
A grandmother
Retired
I’ve been so blessed that my dreams have come true.

But I’m not done yet . . .
When I die,
Or when I pass,
Or when I leave this earthly body,
Christ’s promise made at my baptism will be fulfilled.
I will live with HIM in heaven.
I will finally be “Grown Up.”

“If someone dies, will they live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait for my renewal to come. You will call and I will answer you. You will long for the creature your hands have made.” – Job 14:14-16
