Yeah, my jaw dropped too. And yes, I believe the rapture will occur on this "appointment" or feast day one of these years. This year? I don't know. If you're reading this after Saturday, the 23rd, then No. LOL. But regardless, I believe it's close.
Now, for the news! The things that really struck me this week were all the storms and earthquakes! Now we also have Jose and Maria too

Dear MaryLu,
ReplyDeleteAnother Mad Mad Friday and thank you for all the information you have listed. That takes time and I appreciate you very much. I have felt like I have been sitting in God's Waiting Room for the last two weeks. It seems that the world is topsy turvy and my family has been also. And if there is an area in ones life to cause problems it is with your children-grown up or not - but things hit the Mother button and you fall into that Mommy mode. So dealing with that-- distraction from the horrible hurricanes and earthquakes and world craziness-- I was in the Waiting Room and not liking it one bit! Needless to say-God and I talked, I cried and caught myself saying--"but God,I". Yes I , I , I, -- and then I lost the -"I can fix this" attitude and through my tears-- Turned everything over to God and wondered if He was shaking His head in disbelief that Again I ran ahead of Him thinking I could fix the problem between my son and his son. So - I am out of the waiting room, learned a valuable lesson -once again. God is in control of all things. Prayer and being an encourager and trusting is all I am to do. God will fix this problem between father and son.
Now to this fascinating post-- all I can say -- Oh my word! On the larger scale-- we can pray that eyes will be open to the fact that what is going on around the world is not normal. We can pray for our President and the members in our government . Pray for other World leaders --But most of all we need to pray for our family members, friends and people we might come across who are lost in the darkness of this world. Our teachers to feel nudged to be teachers that teach and not convert our children to sinful things . We need to be on our knees and pray and for those like me that cannot kneel-- kneel with our hearts. I want all who I know and love and even those I do not know to be with Jesus Christ-- but most of all I want to be with Him and not in any Waiting Room. And when the time comes-- MaryLu -- I will look for you💕💕💕💕💕
Elsie, I'm so sorry to hear of your recent struggles! I agree with you whole-heartedly that our children can sometimes be the most difficult situations in our lives. It's because we are Moms and we love them beyond measure. Like it sounds like you are, I am too often a control freak who wants to "fix" everything. I want to rush in and put on a bandaid and give them an icecream, but when they are older, that no longer works. The hardest thing for me has been relinquishing control of my children and grandkids over to the Lord. In fact, it's something I have to do quite often. I'm lifting up a prayer for you, Elsie, right now.
DeleteRegarding the world.. I agree, things are accelerating fast. I had hoped we'd be snatched out of here by now, but the Lord has other plans and more work for us to do. But when we are finally taken home, you can bet I will look for you too, and give you a big hug!
AwwwwHugs back at ya 💕💕💕💕💕
