I should explain what the name of my blog means. You might think it’s just “Not home yet” because I am indeed far from home… and you wouldn’t be wrong. Just not completely right, either.
I really enjoy the music of a band called Building 429 and they have a wonderful song on their latest album that just sticks with me constantly. Here’s the chorus:
All I know is I’m not home yet
This is not where I belong
Take this world and give me Jesus
This is not where I belong
Building 429, Where I belong
As Christians we have a far more exciting home than Duluth or Seattle or America… We are citizens of heaven (Philippians 3:20). So all this time I have been given to serve, adventure, wander, seek God and love on His children is a gift to be cherished, and I won’t be home until I’m finished here on earth. That will be a glorious day. I want to arrive absolutely spent and exhausted, with no regrets, saying “wow, what a ride!” But until then, I’m going to give all that I am and have to give and serve, ‘cause I’m not home yet!
