Because it seemed so far away and unrealistic. <br /><br />This is what my grandmother talked about and now I'd give anything to have just one conversation with her and receive her comfort and wisdom. Thankfully she taught me about the Holy Spirit so therefore,I'm covered! Growing up all of this seemed sort of like a fable. Now it's real, and guess what, we ARE the grown ups...we are the Moms and Grandmas, and God has somehow chosen us to be THE generation who will be around for this whatever reason. (I feel so unqualified. Thankfully He doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the call.)<br /><br />Time to shine, shine like crazy! <br /><br />Love youDr. Deanna DossShrodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06651422170585497480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34244281.post-71434913106907114382010-03-23T09:27:38.551-04:002010-03-23T09:27:38.551-04:00Amen, Amen!! Now more that ever, Christians need...Amen, Amen!! Now more that ever, Christians need to know what the Bible says about these times, constantly praying in their spirit, and continually filled with the Spirit. The enemy is such a deceiver!! I see young Christians (some saved more years than I have been...but just never grew) being "sucked in" by everything that is going on, and turning everywhere, but to God, for their answers. <br /><br />But on a brighter note, God IS answering the needs and prayers of those who do trust in Him. He is increasing faith. Some have to hit rock bottom to look up. Others always are looking up. (I hope I stay in the later!) Thank you for your blog. I know it is time consuming, but you encourage me to keep fighting the good fight. The day of His return is fast approaching. We must stay ready ...at all times! God bless you today in a special way, Deanna!!!Ruth, PAnoreply@blogger.com
