Don't you wish that sometimes in your life maybe just once or twice a year you could go to a secret place. This place would be just your own and it would be inhabited by the presence of God. The beauty of it it is that you don't have to create or design it, it would just be perfect the exact way you desired in your heart but you didn't know how to express in words exactly. In this place you could talk to God face to face, just like the twelve disciples. This place would be unbelievable beautiful and you would want for nothing. In some ways it's kind of like heaven but since I've never been there I couldn't say that it is exactly like heaven. Or maybe in my mind it's like heaven on earth. Well the point being that right now I soooo desire this. This is what I desire more than anything else in the world. It's not that I hate my job or life is miserable, quite the opposite things are great, fantastic, but I want something more. I've been longing to go home but I think that is the manifestation of a deeper longing that I have within and the best way I know how to describe it is as the secret place. At times I wish I could experience the 6 months of fragrance treatment that Esther went through a time of pure pamperment (I don't think that's a word). I just want to go up to the mountain and be taken care of by my God. My life in no way is horrible it's just that I'm tired. I'm not sure if I need a break and to be honest I don't have a clue what I need but I'm hoping that whatever it is, it comes soon, real soon.
Sweet Clouds, Sunshine, Soft breezes of the wind and Me and God together again. That's all I need that's all I desire. Still I wait for that great prize for His holy fire. My God and My Lord , My savior My King, come and rescue me, bring me home again. My God and My Lord, My savior and My King I love you so desperately.

Maya,
When reading this entry, I thought of this scripture:
"13All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. 14People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them."
Hebrews 11:13-16
Sorry to quote an entire passage at you. But I just wanted to encourage you that even if the place you desire is not available on this earth, God has already prepared a home for you. Perhaps this is what you are longing for?
Or maybe I'm off base. Either way, you are in my prayers =)
Mike
P.S. Don't take the passage too literally and think it means you shouldn't come back to Cleveland!!!!! :-p
Mike don't worry about the length it was a great post and I think you are right in many ways. I'm longing for the great day to come but I think it is something else as well I just don't know what yet. Oh and I'm not ruling out coming back to Cleveland for a season.
