It is Friday. The kids are out of school, for President's day. Kurt is at his mom's, Michael is home from work because of his sinus infection. I feel my infection is coming back, whoopee. AND, we are supposed to get more snow. I feel for the people in New York, we only have a foot and a half. I just feel done with winter and coldness.
There are some bright spots, however. My friend's friend is having a wedding reception today and it is wonderful!! Something many of us have prayed about! It is wonderful how the Lord answers prayer! Even if it isn't what we "dictated" to Him, he answers. It will be, in my humble opinion, a "Yes", "Yes, but not now", or "I have something better for you". Sometimes we don't see it, or understand it, but He knows. He has the view from the top! We have also been praying about a situation with a house we rent out. He has not only given us an answer, but supplied our needs for it! Praise Him!
Again, with all the stuff happening out there, and in the news every day, one cannot help but see how time is coming to fulfillment. I am so blessed to live in a time where I can see so much and yet be given the gift of eternal life with the Lord Himself! My time here on earth may be punctuated with a sudden shout and a "Come Up Hither!" before my earthly body dies! Even if I do, I will STILL hear the shout and get to go! It is like when you were a kid and went outside to play. Toward the end of the day, mom yelled out for you "Time to come in! Supper!" And you rushed home to comfort and happiness. Kinda like what I am expecting! I am outside to play for now, but soon, the end of the day, and my Father will call out for me to Come Home, it is time for the Wedding Supper! And I will rush home, in the twinkling of an eye, and go home, where I will only have comfort and happiness! COOL!
I guess it isn't such cold day after all. It will be better, awesome, soon! Wanna come? Please, if you haven't, ask the Lord to come into your heart~He's waiting! We're having the best supper!
God Bless!
Love,
Faith

The View From Here
We have been battling the bug here at our house! Michael, Boo, and Kurt have all had the sniffles, cough, head/chest cold...I only wish that we had bought stock in Kleenex, lysol, clorox, etc. Poor Boo, first she got the snots, then the stomach virus. I even had to take her to the doctor yesterday. She seems more perky today and I think she will be back to normal by tomorrow. She has motive. She doesn't want to miss her Valentine's party at school. Of course, now, we have to think about if we will have school, we are under blizzard warnings. It isn't as bad as the poor people in New York, (My prayers are with you!), but it may cancel school just the same.
Isn't it funny how there are some things that are fond memories for us as adults, but there is such a push for things to be changed. We are being told that next year for school, we will not be able to send in sweet treats for birthdays, etc. They claim that the school corp is trying to make sure that we are attacking the obesity problem in children. While I think that it is a good move to try to give our children healthier choices, giving them more recess/phys ed time might be a good thing too. And a sweet treat once in a while isn't a bad thing...All things in moderation. Complete elimination of sweets can make them much more tempting and at risk for overindulging. Kids need motion! It just sounds like another step toward a regimented, police like state. Some schools are even restricting what a child can pack in a lunch brought from home. Crazy.
Getting on more serious things. I have read Epicenter. I read it when it first came out and I loved it. It was very interesting. What makes it more so now is that I am rereading it as if it were my first time through. He had really hit the nail on the head over several things...and now some of the entries that were considered "future headlines" aren't future, but present now. This book came out less than a year ago! The events and conditions in the world are quickly spiraling to their conclusion. If you haven't read this book, I STRONGLY encourage you to do so. Any book by Joel Rosenberg is really well done, but this one is a non fiction, analytical book. I said it on a different blog before, but I will repeat it here: It is a feeling within me, to my core, that I feel things are coming to the next big thing...I feel that this would be the Rapture of Christians. (Although, Ezekiel's war couldcome first...this would not be a surprise.) Something BIG is about to occur. It is much like watching the sands in an hourglass. At first, they drift downward in regular fashion, but as the sands run out, they seem to flow faster and faster until they speed completely gone. I feel like we are in those qucikly moving grains, ad there are only a few left. The time is coming, soon, when the situation in the world is going to get so much worse and frightening. I feel at peace, because I know that my Saviour is going to keep me safe and whatever may be thrown at us, He will be with me. He promised to never leave me, and He never breaks a promise. So, even though the events of the days portend some frightening circumstances, I feel at peace. I can be an observer, because I am only visiting here. My home is with the Lord and He is coming to take me home soon! How blessed we are to be living now! We are a witness to the very events that the Prophets of old could only imagine. They were given glimpses, visions that seemed so unbelieveable, yet we see them played out everyday in our news and events around us. Yet we have a second part to this blesssing: We are able to chose Jesus, and especially in the US, feel a certain amount of freedom to do so. After the Rapture, it will be much more resticted to choose Jesus, with Martyrdom a most likely result of the choice. It will more challenging in the future. Please, If you haven't chosen Jesus yet, do it now while there is time....We are on those last grains...Ask Him to forgive you for your sins and accept Him today! He loves you and is waiting to give you the gift of life, eternal life, with Him.
I must attend the children and the house now. Time to Lysol all surfaces and Bleach everything that will fit in the washer! And everyone....Don't forget to wash your hands!
God Bless
Love,
Faith

Upcoming Coming Events
Hey everyone!
I feel that I have been meeting so many new brothers and sisters in the past several weeks! I enjoy learning and getting to know you all! God Bless! I am looking forward to that time soon when we can all meet soon and be together in the presence of our KING! PTL!!
Ok, so there is a lot of stuff happening out there, and it seems as if everything is coming to a major head mid Feb to March. Remember the group in Iran believes the Mahdi is going to be back and making his world wide appearance this spring and some have even said in March. Amedinejad has made comments that he is going to have a large press party with several announcements coming soon. (Mid Feb). Russia/Putin are making their announcements regarding some treaties and agreements, and this is scheduled for Feb 11. Rice is in the Mid East, and there is talk of the EU trying to restart the peace treaty involving Israel in the next month. Is anyone else sensing that BIG time stuff is about to go down (Or in the case of Christians, possibly go UP?!) All this stuff reminds us that we need to be ready and we need to talk to as many as we can about the Lord and His love for us. It's coming soon...even at the doors.
I love Jesus and Iknow that He died on the Cross for me. I deserved it, I am a sinner, and I have done some rotten things in my life. But He loves me. For Real. I asked Him to forgive me for my sin and to come into my heart. I pray DAILY that He will mold me into what He choses for me, because He is my Lord. Even though there is som much going on, I have peace in my heart, because He is there. I don't belong here, I belong with Him. I am a spectator to all this. I get to go home, soon. If there is anyone out there reading this, and you would like to feel this incredible peace and know Jesus as your Saviour, please do it now! Admit that you are a sinner. It's ok, we all are and He already knows. He just needs to hear you admit it. Then tell Him that you know that He died in your place, and ask Him to forgive you for your sins. He will! He has never turned anyone down who has asked. Ever. Make Him the Lord of your life. Then tell someone, heck, tell ME! I would love to hear it! To welcome you to our family and to encourage you as my sibling in Christ! I love you, and He loves you more than you can ever imagine! Anything you have done, He can forgive. ANYTHING. But the time is getting short....He is coming soon to take us home. Don't miss the trip. Get to know Him...He is the greatest Friend you could ever have!
I have third graders home now, and that means homework. Please, if you haven't accepted the free gift from the Lord, Do it now. He is waiting for you.
God bless!
Love,
Faith
