2 Year Visitor/1st Day Member!

Finally...I finally registered and I have no idea what took me so long as I visit this site multiple times a day. I'm addicted as this is where I go to get the "real" news and updates.:scripture I've never joined chat rooms before so I have no idea how to do it so if I screw up, :doh, you will know why! I've been home here in my house for the last 2 1/2 years not able to go back to work after the loss of my 16 yr. old son, but I now know why. I have learned so much, studying the bible and bible prophecy during this time, that has prepared me for what lies ahead. God has been preparing my "breastplate" and has brought me to Him 100%, instead of the 65/75 percenter I was before. I always say that God loved me so much, he took my son and I truly believe that. My son's death not only saved me, but 7 others, including my other two children and half my family. I wish I would have accepted the other invitations He gave me before this one, but it took this for me to bring my faith up to match my good deeds and I thank Him everyday for loving me so much!! I'm glad to be here and I love what everyone says and doesn't say.:yeah

:hug A very big welcome to RR Maribeth!! Glad you decided to join us!! Come in and make yourself at home! If I can do anything to help, dont hesitate to ask. I pray that the Lord will richly bless your time here!:pray :wave

[Maribeth]

Thank you!! I feel like I know so many of you because of reading the threads as often as I do. I can't wait until I get the hang of this as I love nothing better than to talk about Jesus and his upcoming arrival...which I, like so many others, feel is very, very soon. So many of us have this same vibe, so strong, so clear and I truly believe, like so many here, that the rapture is in the not-to-distant future.

Wow!

Dear Maribeth,

Thank-You for sharing your story of your 16 year old son. 4 months ago, my 19 year old son was killed on a motorcycle...due to no fault of his own, a make-shift pole with a wire was strung across the street for electricity and a semi clipped the wire and lifted the pole (that was not cemented into the ground) and hurled it at my sons body killing him.

It is the most pain I've ever felt in my life and if it weren't for knowing that the rapture is near, I couldn't bear it. If you don't mind me asking how long ago did your son go to be with the Lord? How did you get through the first holidays? I think we are going to go away for 2 weeks during Christmas this year. I can't open up the ornaments, you know the ones that say "babies first Christmas" etc. i had an ornament for nearly every year he was alive.

Anyway....I am so thankful you are here and have finally posted! This place is certainly addicting!

To both of you dear mothers, Maribeth and Zippety.. I can not imagine this kind of pain.:hug :hug Yes, our blessed hope, the rapture will be so soon and the reunion with our loved ones begins!
We will rejoice with them and our beloved Savior FOREVER.

FINALLY HOME

When engulfed by the terror
Of tempestuous sea
Unknown waves before you roll
At the end of doubt and peril is eternity
Though fear and conflict seize your soul

But just think of stepping on shore
And finding it heaven
Of touching a hand and finding it God's
Of breathing new air and finding it celestial
Of waking up in glory and finding it home

When surrounded by the blackness
Of the darkest night
O how lonely death can be
At the end of this long tunnel
Is a shining light
For death is swallowed up in victory

But just think of stepping on shore
And finding it heaven
Of touching a hand and finding it God's
Of breathing new air and finding it celestial
Of waking up in glory and finding it home





Praying for both of you.. and

Maribeth.. welcome! :wave

The worst thing is losing a child. My son Trey was killed in a car accident January 7, 2005 at 4:00 p.m. He was T-Boned as he was pulling out onto the highway. He died instantly but not a mark on his beautiful body or face. He died from what Princess Diana died from. I didn't celebrate any holidays the first year nor the second year...I just couldn't. I too, like you, collect ornaments for my kids every year since birth (approx. 450+) but I no longer do that. I have a hard time going to the grocery store because how do you stop buying their favorite foods. I've always bought for 3 kids and I still have breakdowns in the store. Everything is different, the joy is gone from our lives and parents like us will never be the same. Through Trey's death, at least 8 people have been saved, probably more and that gives me great comfort. Trey always told me he was going to die young, always, he even told me that 2 weeks before he died.

I think you and I will be fast friends as we now look at everything differently. I tell people that unless you have lost a child, do not complain about anything. My email address is **** if you ever want to email me. I can't wait for the rapture!!! I still cry everyday and when I do, I immediately ask Jesus to take the pain away, it's too much for me, and He does. He walks me through each day. At first, you have to go minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, and do it however you can regardless of what anyone else thinks!! May God Bless both our boys as they are getting our places ready next to them when we see them after the rapture!

Maribeth, :heythere

Welcome to RR. Glad our Lord has turned a sadness into a reason for joy. He tends to do that, doesn't He?

Christ is so lovely it is impossible to describe the love inside for Him, but He is most certainly worthy of everything we are and have, especially since by His Hand we received it! Hope God blesses your time with us.

Shalom in Christ
