Sunday



Friday morning I was on my elliptical machine listening to a message. I wanted to take notes, but didn't want to stop my workout so I went into my fancy "notes" application on my phone. I was texting quickly and was going to write "Lord" but instead my fingers hit "Lies." Stop right now and look at the keyboard on your phone. See what happens if your fingers are just a little off? It's scary!

As I laid in bed early this morning trying to decide if or where I should go to church today I was full of indecision. (That's a crazy thought in itself!) Anyway, I made a cup of coffee and decided to put my face in the book of Luke instead of another kind of book on my computer. I read about End Times. To be honest, I never really think a lot about it. I have always thought I would die and go to Heaven and that would be the end of it. It was just a matter of how I die. Will it be cancer, heart disease, car accident? I had never considered the fact that it could be just an ordinary day when He comes back to take us with Him. What I read this morning scared me. I am seeing what was written in those words happening in front of my eyes. I'm so concerned. You know as well as I do that families are falling apart and people are betraying each other all the time. So many of us are so lonely in our own homes. Husbands and wives aren't on the same team; they aren't "leaving" their parents and making their own families together! Parents are encouraging this behavior! Couples all around the world are sitting in the same room in front of their own laptop computer instead of relating with each other. We are all interconnected but lonelier than ever. Families are scattering and moving away from each other without even saying goodbye. People divorce without giving it a second thought because they "deserve to be happy." Kids don't get to be with both of their parents!  Unfortunately I know of worse things I can't even share on this post. Christians are scaring me more than non-Christians. We don't know who to trust!

Satan is laughing and I'm getting mad. I learned a long time ago that anger and hurt are the same thing and that hurt people hurt people. I'm praying today for all of those who are hurting. I'm also praying that they trust God in this crazy world. This isn't Heaven, but I believe Him when He says He's coming back to make all things new. I'm hoping it's sooner than later.

If you'll excuse me, I'm getting off of here to go make my husband breakfast!
Have an amazing Sunday! I pray whoever reads this post stops what they are doing and looks at their loved ones like they are looking at the face of Jesus. Let it start with me.
