The Last Mile

Daily writing prompt
What are you most excited about for the future?

Genesis 5:24 NIV
Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more because God took him home.

Heaven is looking brighter and clearer every day
And the more wicked this world gets
The more ready I am to leave
How I loathe the hatred and lies
The shootings and killings
The butchering of babies still in the womb
Where does this sense of entitlement come from?
Where is the remorse? The shame?
When was a lie ever the truth?
Who opened the door to the pit of Hell?
Do my prayers and tears reach Heaven?
Has God turned His back on His creation?
Or is He waiting for one more soul to believe in Him?
The world has become a giant monster of evil
I don’t want to be here anymore
I’ve seen and heard enough
I’m old and tired
My feet are bruised and sore
My legs tremble in weakness
The walk has been long and arduous
But I continue pushing forward
Continue trusting and believing
That at the end of the road
Jesus is waiting to carry me home
And I’m excited about that!

My body has slowed down, but my busy brain never stops thinking, creating, writing, taking pictures of clouds and trees, and everything in between. I battle anxiety and depression that doesn't get better with age. That's why I write, why I spend time alone, why I walk, why I take pictures, why I never stop.
