it's encouraging to read everyone's anticipation! I'm sure it pleases our Lord to be excited about the apparent nearness of His calling us Home! they keep saying there is no where to escape to if the USA falls into socialism, but i just keep thinking, yes there is! it's just not something we can control the timing of... so, i realized that yes, i dearly hope and pray He snatches us out of harms way if truly becomes worldwide without USA to be a safe harbor of freedom anymore... but my hubby and i also realized that we need to be willing and allow God to give us that peace that passeth understanding no matter what- and that we need to be trusting and calm if the Lord chooses - out of His grace- to extend this Age of Grace in order to rip the false idols out of peoples white knuckled grips- if He intends to continue to break down false securities in order to draw more to Himself prior to the Tribulation, we should be thankful...but it's very difficult honestly for me to not be selfish and just want to leave NOW! So, He's still working on my heart and mind and soul...reminding me that my life is found in Christ and I am not to live to self which was crucified with Jesus...it's hard sometimes to be a humble and patient servant and not a spoiled daughter begging for what she wants above what He says is most important! Yes, what she said! Is she calling me a spoiled daughter?! TR Well, that is a question Yohanan? :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: 29 and holding for sure! Always wondered the trivia behind that saying, why not 33 and holding :mdrmdr: 35 was a good year for me! 40 wasn’t bad either —- still actively running 3 to 5 miles a day. Naw, I’ll stick with 35! B-) Certainly looking forward to the imperishable and immortal—- can you imagine having no more physical complications? I know Blake is looking forward to that, a few more of our family here! Gonna get me a tambourine and do the Miriam and David dance routine :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: :prayer-hands: So very true Gratefulforgrace- truer words are spoken! Hang in there, the Father Knows best! His timing is perfect. Or the trip you took is over and you look back on the time, you cherish some moments, but soon forget others! We will see it that way! Earth will soon pass and glory is eternal for us who are saved by the blood of the lamb :mdrmdr: Absolutely! You can start kicking and screaming to make the image in my head come alive :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: I want to go home NOW! Remember Baruca on Willy Wonka ..... ok so you’re not a bad egg! Imagination is not my strong suit. But I do love surprises! Again, Heaven's gonna be better than any could imagine! And the trip there will be glorious! I can just picture a universal sigh of relief from His glorious Bride, once received! TR I also am tired and battle worn. But I will keep up the fight to the very end. Joy unspeakable and full of glory :yahoo: :prayer-hands: From the time I accepted Christ as Lord and Saviour, the Rapture was a simultaneous aspiration! TR
Just like when you get to the other side of a trial and you go, awe, now I get it!
praying for ya brother! What fun we all are going to have! :yahoo: :prayer-hands:
