Have you ever planned a vacation? you make a list of all the places you’ll visit. all the different accommodations. tour sites. activities. food. shopping. maybe you’ll need to visit one or two people. sometimes you debate if the hotel is a better option, since you got a decent deal or to get an airbnb, because cooking is important — and you’d prefer to feel more at home, away from home.

That’s the way we talk about Jannah. I have a tea party. a campfire. a lunch date. There’s a private formulae 1 race, all eyes on me. There’s more.

I remember once visiting a dear big sister of mine, her house is a dream اللهم. It was the vastness for me. I could… breathe. It felt so big I could lose all of my worries in it. Complete with its glass walls, even the drainage system was a sight to behold — when it rained, through the glass doors and walls, I imagined it’d mimic a waterfall. And I thought about Jannah in that moment, and made a dua.

Someone argued that most of it was limiting belief, 😂 that I don’t see myself worthy of such grandeur in this world and I console myself with a dua for Jannah. I counter-argue: I’m big on delayed gratification.

Jannah.

Appealing as all these are, and O how my heart longs for Jannah, the most appealing of rewards in Jannah for me is in this phrase..

“No fear shall be upon them, nor shall they grieve.”

Imagine it. A place where your heart can be forever light. No pain. No fear. No anxiety. No worry. No what if’s. No second guessing. No pain. No grief. Imagine it.

Does your heart not yearn for such peace?

As we journal today @thereconnectionjournal, about the things that matter most to us, Peace and Jannah are the first on my list.

What do you most look forward to in Jannah?

HOW LIBERATING SYMPHONY WINTER RETREAT WAS.  Like the focus of this retreat "lifted", I literally lifted everything up to God this weekend.  My dreams. My future. My anxiety. My stress. and My sins.  All of my sins. Coming  to terms with things (for those who read, I will gladly share with you - ask me in person :)! ) I didn't want to for the longest time, I am now FREE from them! Though my fight against my sins are long from being over, I now have the advantage instead of being at a disadvantage.  For those who feel shame and burden with anything in your life, I just want to encourage all of you with Romans 8; as a sister recently encouraged me!

8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit...10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.
