No. I do not believe in reincarnation.
Hebrews 9:27 says, "Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgement."
But, I can't help but think what my life would be like if I lived a different life. What if I had been born to famous parents? Or in a poverty stricken third-world country? What if I was raised in the big city; or on a large pig farm? What if I was a famous actor or singer? Soccer star?
I'm happy with my suburban life, white collar husband, and being average. (O-Kay, I wouldn't mind a little bit of fame ;) However, I wonder about other lifestyles and experiences. This life is just too short to experience it all. And I have a family to consider. I can't pull up stakes, leave the kids and try to make it in Hollywood. (assuming I could act, of course!)
Today? I want to be a cowgirl. I've always loved the west. The idea of riding horses, working on a ranch, knowing how to rope and ride. Of course, going to the rodeo last night has a smidge to do with my feelings this morning!
I am aware my cowgirl vision is slightly skewed thanks to historical romance novels and reruns of Wagon Train. I know life as a real cowboy/girl is full of long, hard days and tough struggles.
Perhaps in heaven I will be able to experience different lifestyles.... without the hard work part.
How about you? If you could live a different lifestyle, what would it be????
yee haw! that fits you...for me, I think I would have loved to be a professional musician...
