Note to Self.

Good Evening Beloved,

Is this blog just for me?  That is what is looks like... No one ever comments on here.. So I guess I am writing to myself,    again.  ( sigh )  Well, I finished the book of Philippians today... but before I go on to Colossians I want to write about Chapter 3 in Philippians.
Paul says he never gets tired of telling you to "be glad in the Lord ". ( KJV says to " rejoice in the Lord")  He also says to watch our for wicked men ( evil workers)   Also says , what makes us children of God is worshiping Him with our spirits.  That is the true " circumcision" IN KJV  Deuteronomy 30:6 " And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God  with all thine heart, and with all thy soul , that thou mayest live." 
Paul then goes on to tell you about himself and how he was a Jews Jew. From the tribe of Benjamin and a Pharisee.  How he obeyed all the laws down to the last point... How he persecuted the church.  How all of that was worthless compared to the priceless gain of following Christ Jesus our Lord.   How he counts following Christ worth it all. He says whatever it takes to follow the one who is alive from the dead.  He tells you he is not perfect but that Christ Jesus is... He tells us to forget the past and look forward to what is ahead.   To get to the end of the race and receive the prize.
Your future is at stake here...... ETERNITY   is at stake........ Not everyone who walks along the Christian road is  friend of the cross.  They too have their eternity at stake....   Tell everyone you know that our Savior , the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back soon  and when He does those that are believers in Him will receive  a new body... a glorious body, just like Christ.. 
I don't know about you but I sure am looking forward to the soon return of Jesus Christ..  I just wanna go home.... Just remember:  Smile:  when you do you are the most beautiful  you can be... With all the love of Christ Jesus . vickie

Just Wondering, How Much Time Is Left?

Good Morning Beloved,

I sit here and wonder just how many days are left for me to enjoy the freedom of looking out my window and seeing the sun rise and the sunlight dance through the mist.  Watching the little squirrels run and chase each other up and down the trees, or watch the children get off the school bus eager to see school friends.  To watch my husband of almost 45 years read the newspaper while he enjoys a cup of coffee.  I wonder. 
In the news all you hear or read about is negative , ugly things happening around the world.. So what is a person to do to find some peace and joy in the day?  I know what I do.  I go to the Word of God for my filling up ..  I run short sometimes on peace and joy and I need a pick me up.. God's Word is my pick up.. 
I wonder sometimes what can I do to help spread the Gospel.. I try by telling people here on this blog, or on face book, or even when I go to the grocery store.  I pray and talk to God a lot but is that enough?  I wish I could share more... but who wants to hear what I have to say. So, I write here and hope someone will read it if not that has to be okay too.. I read it and reread it from time to time.
I have a lot of questions and sometimes I can find the answers .  I listen to different speakers on the Word of God and then I have to dig to see if they are right on or off a bit. Yes, I go to church and I  come home and search and dig to make sure that what I hear is really from God.  I am just a wondering person.  I think to much I guess.
I have concerns about if I am really doing enough? Am I going to be going to heaven?  Yes, I know that God looks on the heart..  Do I have a heart problem?  I DO NOT want to be left behind.. In 1 Corinthians 13:13 " And now abideth  faith, hope, charity, these three, but the greatest is charity."
 I do have faith and hope and charity. ( charity means love)  I do have that in abundance. That is why it gets to me so often about am I doing enough I love all and want all to know the Love of  Christ Jesus...   I am praying that someone will read this and want to know more about the love of Christ and I can help them learn..  Time is getting so short and soon it will be to late .. Please don't wait till then.. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior today!  Right now!!!   It is so easy and simple.... IN Mark 10: 25  "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle , then for  a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."  Please oh PLEASE  don't be like the rich man.   Time is short and running out, please call on Jesus Christ today and accept Him as your Savior.... Your spirit will spend eternity in one of two places;  Hell or Heaven.  Choose wisely-- choose heaven..
Just say a prayer and mean it and get to a good bible believing church and ask questions.. I will be glad to help you in any way I can if you like. I am just  right here... waiting.
May God shine down on you today and keep you safe from all evil..  Smile : you are your most beautiful when you do.... in the love of Christ Jesus , vickie
