Missed The Rapture Train?


Sooo....The world did not end or at least I wasn't called on.

What did you do to "prepare" for the world ending?  I am honestly interested in seeing if people's behaviors changed. 

I am also interested in knowing would it be better to know the exact date and the exact time of the rapture or is it better to not know.  For me, I would rather not know.  I know that there will be a time that I will be judged and hopefully I did what I needed to do in order to be called on.  Even if I wasn't called on I would not have a problem fighting for Him.

I heard about a few people selling all their belongings but for what?  Even if you buy that person's belongings what could you do with it if you leave the Earth? 

I hope this brought people closer to Christ and understand that there will be a time and to always be ready. 

"The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day." - John 12:48 ESV

Oh No...Breast Cancer?

About a month ago I felt a lump.

To be perfectly honest I found it years ago but barely said anything until recently. Being scared to death is an understatement. I always wondered what I would if faced with something like this. Should I get rid of them and get implants or go through the crazy treatments? Once I told my parents and brothers about it they immediately gave me the support I needed and the courage to go see the doctor. The day before the appointment it finally hit me, I could have cancer. I didn't want anyone to know because I didn't want anyone to feel sad or worried about me.

Going to the doctor never felt so weird. I haven't had my mom with me for a doctors appointment in years but it was nice to have that support. The doctor said he wasn't sure so off to a specialist I go.

I was hoping for the best and it felt like forever waiting for the specialist. She was the nicest, thorough and most energized doctor I have ever met. It took me years to get to this point and all I could think about was that I should have came at the first signs so it can be treated easier if I had cancer.

Thank God she didn't feel anything, only fatty tissue. I've been worried for so long and I finally get to relax. I should have came in earlier but now I'm educated on what to look for. My message to you all is that whatever doesn't feel right get it all checked out. Fear doesn't make it go away.

Happy Mother's Day

Mothers are a special breed.  They have to have patience, time, energy, willingness to sacrifice, and super strength to push us out when we are born. 

How can a person love another person without knowing them, understanding them, talking to them, seeing them for so long but then when we are born there is instant love?  Can you honestly love another human being without knowing their name first?  Could that child really be your pride and joy?  Would you be afraid to make mistakes?  Would the future decisions your children make be your fault if they are bad and your praises if they are good?  How can you determine success in motherhood?  If you have a little girl, will she look up to you and be your best friend?  If you have a boy will you force him to participate in hobbies you could not do since you are not a boy?  

Are these the questions mothers ask or have asked?  Could I be underestimating the power of love that a mother has? 

I do not think I can understand motherhood until I have a child but the power that my mom has is amazing.  I cannot understand how she loves me and my brothers from the first time she saw us until now.  What I do know is that whatever mistakes she believes she had made and whether or not her plan with us went accordingly, I know she did everything right.  I also know that I love her and she loves the hell out of her kids!  I cannot say me and my brothers made it easy for her but I do not believe she would take back any moment.  

I love you mom!
