:yahoo: Yay! I missed the Ritan forum so much I am glad to be back! Glad your back as well! :heart: TR Hey y'all! Oh my goodness! I am so, so very excited to have found y'all again! Last night, I was typing in a different rapture website and slipped in my typing... this website popped up in the search bar and I held my breath. I figured the search had picked up on the old website that I missed so much. Lo and behold, it was this new website and I almost started crying. Oh how I have missed y'all. My heart broke when RITAN moved over to facebook. My husband and I are not on social media of any kind and even though I loved the RITAN forum, we chose not to open a facebook account. So thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing this forum back! Years ago, when Lisa Leenie was still blessing us all and praying for each of us, this was a daily source of encouragement and comfort in my life. I cannot even remember how long it has been... 4 or 5 years I think? The time that has past has only seen our world grow more dark and it is such a huge encouragement to have a body of believers to talk to as the days grow darker before Christ comes for us. I am very happy to be back with y'all. I found RITAN in 2011 when I "woke up" and realized all the convergence that was going on in the world. As we continue to watch for Christ to return and are busy about our work for Him, I am so very thankful to be home here with y'all again, my RITAN family (still excited about our heavenly RITAN gathering room). My family has gone through tremendous struggles these last few weeks. Right as one trial finishes, another comes crashing over us and we have felt like we were barely keeping our heads above water, so to speak. It has been amazing to see how Jesus has sent friends into our lives to encourage us, pray for us, and send us scripture. He truly carries us through the hardest trials of life and now He has brought me back here. I feel very blessed. I am excited to catch up with everyone! Love in Christ, Heather Welcome back Heather. I was a lurker from 2014 - May 2017. I tried to enroll but something happened in the process of getting approval ... I got an email saying I need to re-enroll and I think they wanted my telephone number? So I didn’t bother to re-enroll and stayed a lurker. I enjoyed reading the threads but I regretted not joining back then because I noticed this is a very special group of believers that are truly looking for Jesus to return. I was sooo happy too when I saw the announcement on the RITA facebook side of reinstating this website! This time I quickly joined. Glad you’re back for the fellowship as we wait for that trumpet to sound. :yes: :thankyou I was just so excited when my daughter emailed me stating she had found your link again. I have so missed you. When you opted to move to FB that was sad to me as I removed myself from social media for personal reasons. I have so missed this great family. I am ecstatic to see so many familiar folks, Watchman 35; RitaMay, Loz, Tender Reed, Yohanan, Cherished, My White Stone, oh my and others... I miss Lisa Leenie but know she is certainly preparing our tea time table. I have so missed the encouragement that I have always found on RITAN. As the days are getting so much the more crazy, it was God’s timing to have you appear in my life again. The toil of life has me wondering if I’m just crazy as I know my Lord is coming back and so very soon, I feel this, yet so many around me scoff and tell me “no, there is still much work to be done”, “we have time to harvest”, another 10 years, on and on. I am so full of joy to be reunited with believers who truly see the hand writing on the wall and know the King is coming and we the Bride will soon take our flight upward. :yahoo: My cup runs over with gratitude that you are back! Please don’t leave again, unless it is the upward flight of course :good: I can’t wait to catch up, I have prayer request, thoughts to share, and joy to be here again! :yahoo: :yahoo: :heart: love the new emoji too. May the Lord bless you and keep you, may the Lord shine his face upon you! :bye: Tammie, glad you’re here! I’m sooo happy to see you enjoy drinking a cup of “brew-tea-ful” tea! :good: Woohoo ... soon very soon ... the drinkers of toxic coffee on this board will be outnumbered. B-) Hi HH so glad to see you are the same, missed your one liners :mdrmdr: New here! But excited to be a part of this dynamic community. Ger7 told me about it. By the way, I LOVE the red banner. It's just beautiful. Welcome Sis, and blessings. Always glad to meet a member of the family! TR :bye: Jenny! Glad to see you here!
