Found out today that a friend of mine just entered the hospital, and that she'll be having her baby tomorrow - on my birthday! I can't tell you how excited that makes me - another friend who was born on same day and same year as me have been texting back and forth because we're so excited about this fact :D. YAY CLUB 420!! (And no, this is not for marijuana :) )
So I need to make sure that THIS is the year that I make the changes I need to in order to save my life. No more fooling around - and the only way this is going to happen is by the power of the Holy Spirit, because food has become my comfort in times of stress, depression, joy, and boredom (and all of those other excuses I need to eat what I want, when I want, and how much of it). I say this all the time - and I should stop declaring it because sometimes I wonder if that's not what is destroying me before I even start - BUT - it's time. And I'll try to keep up with it on this blog as well.
So, wish me luck and pray for me, readers. It's time to make a change and it's not going to be easy.

A Stirring In My Spirit
Tonight I sit on my Mom's couch, listening to my husband and my brother chat idly. I've decided it's time to begin blogging again. I don't know if anyone will ever see these, but something happened to me last Sunday - I feel the need to begin sharing what I've been thinking again.
I've been watching the news and have been quietly mulling over events over the past few years. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has read Matthew 24 and thought it sounds like what we see. But there are many times that people in the past could have said the same things. The wars and the rumors of wars...the earthquakes, the hurricanes and tsunamis, tidal waves and flooding that destroys while other regions suffer from drought.
But now we're seeing the Jews being forced to register in Ukraine, signs and wonders in the heavens like the 4 blood moons, and it amazes me that people are not seeing the significance of all that is happening.
And then there was Sunday. I was looking in the mirror, getting ready for church, and the thought popped into my head, "I could be taken from the earth in an instant and it would all be over." Not taken as in death, but as in the rapture of the saints. And fear filled my heart - not necessarily an unhealthy fear, but one of that made me ask myself, "How have I spent my time? Have I been about my Father's business?" So later in the church service, I felt the Holy Spirit urging me to get my affairs in order.
And for the first time in my life, I feel as if the time of Jesus' return is closer than it's ever been before. We are living in the last days...we've been saying it for a while...but I can tell...things are shifting. It's coming and people are NOT ready.
So Lord, I pray that you would help me be about your business. Help me refocus and reorder my life to be in line with yours. Thank you for the quickening of my spirit and the warning.
More to come on my conspiracy theories... :)
