Celeste's Longing for as Much Heaven as
Possible on Earth

Celeste knows that she will never find a permanent state of heaven here on this earth, but, she believes that much of heaven can be achieved on this earth through her relationship with God, living in God's will and seeing herself, others, and, the world the way He wants her to.

Though she ultimately wants to do God's will in her life, she imagines a loving Christian husband that is made by God for her and her for him. A Godly family and friends brought together by God. This is heaven on earth for Celeste.

Though she knows that that the latter desires of her heart have vocation and Godly value and also as she lives daily in Him as a daughter, sister, friend, Writer, writing and making songs together, and, simply walking with Him as His child, she has value in just being, she would also like to continue to do vocational work that is in His will for her. She sees this as heaven on earth and would make her world more alive as well as an opportunity for others to witness a more heavenly, colorful world.

As Celeste has had a very difficult complex life so far with some good too, a colorful world is hard for her to see as much as she used to. She remembers when she would go through awful things as a child, she would say: "when I grow up things will be different. I will be able to create better because God is not doing a very good job as He is allowing all this bad to happen and is not doing anything to make it better." Celeste grew up and though her strong will did seem to create some good, really the lack of following God's will made things worse. The would have done things differently had she trusted God.

Today, she knows that God did not create the bad, but, He did allow it to happen, and was by her side carrying her and brought some of the things that would miraculously happen that would benefit her life and those of others in a heavenly way. Though she took action, she has memories of wonderful things happen that she really did not expect to occur and they did. This colored her world with heavenly thoughts and feelings amidst the negativity.

Celeste imagined her world at this point in her life to be better than it is for her. But, she tries to trust in God and surrender herself totally to Him. Today, she does not put Him aside and go her way to improve her life and others, rather, she follows Him and partners with Him in life. Lately, she says: "God, I don't see this world as well as I used to, my ideas of what I want to see, have, feel, and, become are in Your hands. They are fantasies and maybe You have another plan for me or maybe not now, and, You still want me to see the beauty that there is in this world as it is."

Some days in very fearful moments, Celeste seeks her Heavenly Father to love her, hold her, and, guide her on how He wants her to view herself, her circumstances, others, and, this world. He has and is helping her see some beautiful positive heavenly things in this world, though it is still generally hard for her to see them. But, she does not and will not give up because she knows He is working through her and she does witness beauty and color in this world. Some things that she never imagined she would and does see which are heavenly. She receives the gift from Him which come through His loving voice, guidance, through others, animals, and, things, such as, the bright star that has followed her home, the sun, and, other things of this world, which are pure, good, and, beautiful. He lets her know He is with her and she is never alone and they will make it together all the way to eternity in Heaven.
