It's Coming.

The End Times terrify me, and they shouldn't because I am a Christian. I beleive in God, I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I am going to Heaven. But still I don't want these times to arrive. Now I beleive God is going to pull me through this. I don't know how. I actually was reading my Bible yesterday and it said, "Why are you glad about the end times, since I am going to destroy everything." I don't remember where this was found, or what the exact wording was, but you get my point." Most Christians can't wait to meet Jesus, and neither can I, but I can't even fathom meeting Jesus. I can't imagine serving God every day for eternity. It ignites me with intrest, and also kinda frightens me.
 I am being honest with you. I have been asking God what He wanted me to write about, and He told me to write about my struggles, write about what I am going through right now. Maybe you don't agree with me. That's ok. This is the way I feel, not my fault. I think what really scares me is giving an account for my life. When I stand before God, I want Him to proud. A proud father of what His daughter did. I want Him to say, " Well done my good and faithful servent." It's why I do all that I do. So, at the end of my life, at the end of the world, I can hear that.

I want to make something clear. The only way you will go to Heaven is if you have accepted Jesus. What I mean by that is if you have repented of your sins, told Jesus you know you were a sinner, and that You want Him to come live in your heart to guide you daily, and you know He died for you on the Cross, and was raised three days later. If you have said that prayer then you are saved. You are going to Heaven. It doesn't matter what time in your life you make that decision. Now, we don't know when God is coming so of course we would want to make that decision as soon as possibile. I want to tell you one thing, "REPENT, FOR THE DAY IS NEAR." The end times are near. No one knows when, but it WILL happen. If you want to accept Jesus into your heart right now, then just say this simple prayer. You can say it in your own words, or say this prayer below. It doesn't matter.

 Dear Jesus,

 I know you died on the Cross for my sins. I thank you for being so selfless. I know I am a sinner. And I am sorry for the way I have lived my life. I accept you now to come into my life, and guide me daily. In Your Name I Pray, Amen.

Cut To The Heart

 I have a passion to see  people cut to the heart. Sounds violent, cruel, and a little disgusting, but what I'm talking about is the most glourious thing in all of the world.

 In Acts Chapet 2 verse 37 it says, " When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, " Brothers what shall we do?" Ok, 1st, when the people heard " God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ(verse 36.) The people realized that they had crucified Jesus, God's one and only son. That's why they were, "Cut to the heart." 2nd, The people asked what do we do? Peter replied, " Repent ane be baptized, every one of you."  Jesus didn't choose which one's he wanted in Heaven, then which one's he didn't. He wants every one to accept Him. 

 Also, in verse 40, it reads, " Save yourselves from this corrupt generation. We are living in a sinful world. Our country is in turmoil, because we do not have our eyes fixed on God. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.- Proverbs 3:6.

 If you want to ask Jesus into your heart, and have Him live in you forever. Then just say this simple prayer. You can say what is below, or say whatever is in your heart. Which ever way, God hears.

 Dear God,

 I know I am a sinner. I know that I don't deserve You, or the mercy that you give me in abundace. But I accept you now into my Heart. Thank you for dying in my place, and saving me from eternity in hell.

In Jesus Name, Amen.

 Now Jesus didn't stay dead. He rose three days later from the grave. Death couldn't keep it's hold on Him. If you say, "No," to Jesus you will NOT spend eternity in Heaven. You will go to hell when you die, becausey you said, "No," To the one true God. I would say, "Yes, To Jesus." Wouldn't you?

What Can I Say? When There Is So Much To Say.

1. I hate giving you credit for anything, but it's because of you that I am the way I am. So, thanks for the misery you gave me, it's why I'm so strong now.

2. When you closed your eyes every Sunday morning and ate that little piece of bread, what were you thinking? If you could become a better Christian, just by how hard you could squint and "pray".... You would.

3. I never tell you how much it means to me that you laugh at all my jokes...but in means the world.

4. Thank you for being the first one to stand up for me, because frankly you were the only one who could. Thank you for asking me which hymn I would like to sing, and what bed I wanted to sleep in. And I listened to you..... I am still the " Beautiful, Young Chrstian girl that I was then" and I haven't changed. I wonder if you would be proud of me.
5. I love it when you call me "Princess." most of the time I call you just to hear it.
6. I love that when I come to your house, you have something new in "My Room" but I am terrified to walk through that door, because I know he won't bark. I will always be your Angel, and again please never stop calling me that.
7. You showed me how a real man acted. I love our talks around the table. It may be the most normal thing in my life.
8. Yes, we hated dusting paper clips, but we love laughing with you.

9. If there was one thing I could thank you for besides raising us in Godly homes. I would thank you for never getting too tired of never giving up. Never letting our circumstances break us down. And, Mommy......We made it. No mater what they threw in our face, our God was too big to be knocked down.

In The Situation Room, Or In The Oval Office?

We have been watching the T.V. show, Commander In Chief. A show about the first female President. There is a lot of scenes where she is in The Situation Room discussing problems. Then there are some parts where she is just sitting in the Oval Office taking it all in. I imagined last night that we have a "Situation Room" in our Spiritual life, plus a "Oval Office."  There were a few questions I asked myself. " Does God spend all His time in The Situation Room? Worrying, planning how He is going to get His children out of a situation. OR does He spend His time in the "Oval Office?" Sitting there, pictures of His miracles all around Him, not worrying, knowing that everything will be ok.

 Of course I then asked myself where I spend my time? Do I spend it worrying, or taking it all in? Anybody who knows me, can answer that question. I worry...ALL THE TIME, but thanks to the Lord's conviction.....that will change.

 If you have accepted Jesus then you are a Child Of God.

 1 John 3:1- How great the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called Children Of God.

 God doesn't want us to worry. This is what God says about worry.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:31.                                                                                                              

Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. Matthew 6:27-29

Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up. Proverbs 12:25.

And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? Matthew 6:30.

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7.

 That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life-whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Matthew 6:25.

So don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:31-33.

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. 1 Peter 5:7.
