Heaven is confusing.

 For the past few Sunday nights I have been participating in a study called Heaven by Randy Alcorn.I think Heaven was a lot easier to understand untill I gave it some thought. Of course the idea of the study is to make us question and make us dig and explore what the Bible says about heaven. I know we have ideas of clouds and angels flying around and such but there is so much more. I think once we begin to question heaven we begin to focus on how awesome its going to be. I for one have just always thought well it will be cool because I will reunite with some folks and Ill get to ask God about some stuff I dont understand. This study has honestly confused me and given me more questions than I had ever had about heaven. I guess with most things we want to learn about there is someone we can ask and who is an expert on the subject. Ok with this we have God we can ask. We have his written word the Bible yet it still leaves a lot of questions.What I have decided is there are a lot of details I dont understand. There are terms I dont understand and a timeline I cant see. I do know this. Imagine when you go to the mountains and you look out over the skyline and you just go WOW, the birth of a child, or that moment at the beach, or maybe that moment where your bride is coming down the isle. That very moment all the details dont matter. For that very moment nothing else matters. We are in absolute awe in absolute wow. All of the planning all of the preconceived ideas we have dont matter. What we see is far greater and far better than we could imagine. Thats how I see heaven.
1 Corinthians 2:9
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
9 but just as it is written,
“THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD,
AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN,
ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.
