Spiritual Parallel's: 2. I am preparing a place for you

Joh 14:1-4  "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.  In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.  And you know the way to where I am going." 

This one is really getting me.

Probably because it is the most recent.

I can assure you our girls bedroom is done.  Before they were even gone one month, we had new bunk beds.  I shopped for the PERFECT comforter sets.  I have bought them clothes.  Flowers for the top of their new dresser.  The cuuuuutest lamp!  I mean, I kinda want their room.  EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I think of them constantly.  The time change, what they might be doing.  How are they?  Are they well?  Do they need anything?  Are they sad?  Are they having a good day?  Are there people there giving them love and attention?  Do they think on there trip to America?  Do they think of us?  I simply LONG for them.

So as I was standing in the doorway of their room one night, as I do EVERY day and usually more than once a day, and this above Scripture hit me in the head.  I took a step back as I was trying to wrap my mind around this...

If I, as silly a girl there could be, am doing this for these sweet girls in Africa, how much more is Jesus doing it for us?  I mean I met the girls for one week.  I got a little feel for there likes and dislikes.  Every little thing I have touched and looked at, and looked for, and put back, because it wasn't exactly them...  The JOY as I was dreaming of them and putting it all together.  Yes, we are preparing a place for them.  We cannot wait to see them again.  You better believe, Lord willing, we are hopping that plane to get those girls home.  You wouldn't believe the steadfast and diligent way we, ok Josh, did that paperwork, wrote those checks, drove speeding to the post office getting there 2 minutes before closing to try to shave off ONE day of the wait.  Oh yes, we are preparing a place for them.

So how much more might Jesus in heaven be preparing a place for us!  All I know is I'm trying to be patient here,  but I'm definitely excited to see it!
