Look at Your Life Through Heaven's Eyes

Have you ever seen the movie "The Prince of Egypt?" If not, I highly suggest you do. It is one
of my favorites.  I have grown up watching this movie over and over and one of my favorite songs, was also the hardest for me to understand. The song "Through Heaven's Eyes" talks of looking at your life the way God does. Here is the song.

It's SO GOOD! 

Well last night while I was watching Little House on the Prairie (My favorite show!) God gave me an insight to how he looks at our life. (This also helps clear up the fact the God knows what is going to happen but we still have free will - wait how does that work issue) You see I have seen every episode of Little House on the Prairie multiple times. I know the story line inside and out. I know the characters like they are part of my own family. I know what is going to happen to each character in the many different trials they will face. 

Last night I found myself talking out loud (don't laugh it is the sign of a genius) To the T.V. I remember saying something like "It's ok Mary, it sucks that you are going blind now, but do not fear you will still be a teacher like you dreamed, you will just teach blind children. And don't worry you are going to meet your future husband at the blind school and the two of you will open up a new blind school and teach ALL THE CHILDRENS!" 

Here is the scene I am talking about! 

I realized that God looks at our lives the way I look at Little House. He knows what is going to happen. He knows the good things that will come from the hardest moments in our lives. We do not see it yet but he does. He has watched the DVD of our lives over and over and over again. He knows how we will react to every trail and happiness. HE knows the story line inside and out. We are HIS family. So he sits there and says "It's ok Elizabeth, You don't see it now, but one day you will become a missionary and you will set the world on fire." - Well ok I don't know exactly what HE says because I have not finished watching the show. But someday I will finish the show of my life, then I will be able to look back and understand. :)  

I'm Praying for you! We are all in this together!
God Bless.
