As I drove home last night I was in a really good mood. Our Softball team is playing on friday nights at this sweet softball complex and I had just finished a game. As I drove home I realized that I really like playing softball, we don't even have to win (though that would be nice). I just like being out there and running around. So I'm driving home in a good mood, and this song comes on the ipod. It's a good song, and I'm singing along (you know how you do when your in a good mood and alone in the car) and it comes to this one line "from thee like pisgah's mountain we view our promised land." After the game I had prayed "Lord give us joy in our lives." I was thinking that this life was pretty good. But when I heard that line, I backed it up and played it again.
Pisgah is the mountain that God brought moses to, so he could see the promised land, when I heard that line I realized, "I'm having fun playing softball, enjoying good music, heading home to my wife and my son. But the next stage is going to be even better." It's hard to explain, but right then I was seriously thinking let's be there now. I'm ready. More than that, I was excited for it. It was a fun moment, let's me know I really believe all this stuff.
