13....Is it really possible?!

I just cannot believe that in less than a month, I will officially be the Mom of a teenager!! Dylan will be 13 in June and I am just not too sure how ready I am for that. I can remember when he was just a baby, and somebody telling me "Cherish every moment, and enjoy them while they are little, because...they grow up way too fast." I never really believed her, but...she was absolutely right. Wasn't it just yesterday I was rocking him and feeding him a bottle, and now...He is going to go to Camp with the Youth Group. When did he get that big? Guess we can't keep them babies forever, can we?

The "rapture" happened, and....I'm still here ;)

So, I've been doing some thinking....Not always a good thing, but hey...it's what I do ;) With all this talk about the world ending, I wondered, how many people believed this man and all that he said. Yes, the world is going to come to an end, but...We don't know when it's going to happen. Not even the Lord Himself knows when He's going to come back for His children.

It bothers me so much, because there have been so many jokes about the rapture happening, and the world coming to an end, and it bothers me, because...This WILL happen! The rapture will happen, the Lord WILL come back, and then what?! All these people won't be laughing then. I try to be a witness to them, and I try to explain to them that it WILL happen, but...A lot of them just blow me off. Which I get, I know that not everyone will believe, but it still bothers me. If anything I've learned through all of this, is that we have to be busy about the Father's business. So many lost people out there, who will die and go to Hell, and we need to be busy about His business, and trying to win these people to the Lord, so that when the rapture does happen, they won't have to suffer.

Has It Been That Long

I had a friend ask me the other day about my blog, and I was like...WOW! I haven't used that in a long time. I used to come here all the time and write out thoughts, but it's been a while since I last did that. I need to be better about writing on here.

Let's see...Where to begin? Since my last post, we sold our house in Illannoy <---That's my way of spelling it ;) and have since moved back to Texas :) We are so happy to be "home." Now, that's not to say that I don't miss Illinois, because I do. We lived there for 10 years, it was all my kids knew, and I miss it. I especially miss the seasons. But, we had to move on, and so, here we are. We like it here, even though it's a very fast paced life here. People are always rushing to get here, there, and everywhere. Sometimes I think we move way to fast here, and we need to slow down, and take it easy.

The boys are doing well, and getting big. Dylan is fixin to be a teenager, and...I don't know that I'm ready for that as a Mom. Wasn't it just yesterday that he was a baby? Now, he's going to be 13! I can tell how much he's changing too. He's maturing, and just growing up too fast. Jacob is getting ready to have surgery to remove his tonsils. He's had quite a time with them, and they need to come out. Poor guy has had some health issues the past year, but thankfully, nothing major. God has been good and seen us through them all, and has kept HIS healing hand on Jake.

OK...well, that's the short version of everything going on here. I really am going to try and post more here. It's a good outlet, and I need to blog more, it helps me :)
