Because I Love You!
This post will always stay on the top. To see the latest happenings in the Little Webb Family, please scroll down, but not before you take this post into serious consideration!
I'm not someone who talks a lot and says what I feel or think...but when I do, I hope people listen because I feel what I do say is important. The last couple of weeks, I have had a thought come into my mind, but I keep pushing it away thinking that if I really need to do this I will truly know it. Every day this thought keep recurring to me and after what I heard today in the news, I felt I need to do this. I ask you to please read all of this. I know a lot of you that may read this don't share my faith and I have never pushed you into believing as I do because I wanted you to respect me and not be offended....but I am willing to risk my friendship with you right now to let you know what I need to tell you. Please don't stop reading this. It is very important to me for you to read this.
I truly believe with ALL my heart that Jesus is coming soon.....sooner than we all think He is. I have been really concerned about fears I have had for my children. Those fears are resolved, even though Satan does try to stir me up about it at times...........but I need to tell you all too about Jesus because I want to make sure you go to Heaven with me too!
I know it is hard for some of you to believe in something you cannot see........but if you trust me and have respect for me believe me when I say Jesus is real!! He is more real to me than anything in this world. I believe with all my heart, soul and mind that He did come to this earth, lived among us, died to save us and is living in my heart! I want you all to believe this too! Please do try to seek Him out and have Him to help you to see He is real too! He will if you ask Him!
When you have assurance that what I say is true, please consider the following things. You cannot get to Heaven and receive salvation from sin unless you do the following. Please do not stop reading! Please!
In the Bible (I am using the New Living Translation), there are verses to help us know our need for God. The first verse is Romans 3:23. It says For all have sinned; all fall short of God's standard. This pretty much says we all are not perfect. No one is perfect. You can do lots of good things and say a lot of nice things, but we all still do bad things whether we admit it or not. I've been accused many times of being a Miss Goody Two-Shoes, but I am here to say I AM NOT! I try to be good and kind because I want people to see Jesus in me, but in my mind I am a terrible person. I know I cannot get into Heaven based on my kindness or whatever deed I do.....and neither can you. In God's eyes, sin is all the same.....whether we think bad things or go out and kill someone. It is all the same. According to Romans 6:23 the wages of sin is death....if we do not ask God to forgive us we will be separated from Him forever. You are probably thinking "so what? What do I need with God". You need Him more than you think. God gave us life and even if we don't care one iota for Him, He cares for you so much. He cares for us even though we treat Him like crap....and we do. I treat Him that way...but yet He still loves me and I can't imagine.......I don't want to imagine....being without Him.
Well, what can we do? Our world lives like we can do all things on our own.....so what can we do to get God's acceptance of us? In Titus 3:5 the Bible says He saved us, not because of the good things we did, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins and gave us a new life through the Holy Spirit. Then Romans 5:8 says But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. God sent Jesus to come to us to die for us on the cross. Jesus had the opportunity to not do it, but He did. I often wonder why did He have to die. But if you think of it.....would you die for someone who did something bad in their place? I might for my children, but I certainly wouldn't for you or anyone else....but Jesus did! It was the ultimate sacrifice. Is there any more of a way to show your love for someone? I think not at all. Because of His death, He took our penalty of sin so we would not have to suffer it.......but we have to accept that He did this. If we don't, we will take the penalty ourselves. We will be sent to Hell. I know a lot of people say "If God loves us why would He send us to Hell?" God is giving us a choice. If He made you follow Him, would you respect Him? Remember when you were a child....when your parents told you to do something and disciplined you, did you think "Gee! Thanks Mom and Dad! I'm so glad you are making me do this even though I'd rather do something else!" NO! Of course not! God doesn't want to force us to do something either. He wants you to love him and know how much He cares for you but He isn't going to force you to love Him. All you need to do is what John 1:12 says....But to all who believed Him and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God. John 3:16 says it all....For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
If you want to become one of God's own, just say this little prayer or one of your own. All you need to do is tell God you are a sinner and need His forgiveness and that you want Him in your life. This prayer will guide you if you need help:
Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I need you in my life. Please forgive me of all I have done and please be the Lord of my life. Thank you for coming to earth and dying for me. Thank you for being my Saviour! Amen!
If you didn't pray this, I beg of you to please consider it before it is too late. I love you very much and want you to be in Heaven with me. Please if you have questions, go to another Christian you respect or email me (see link to right) and we will most certainly help you!
Thank you for reading this and please take this seriously. I love you too much not to say anything.
Friday, I took Nathan to meet Tripp at work so I could go to my first Red Hat Luau Party. As we were headed out the door, Nathan told me he wanted his hat. I told him to go get it. When he came back from his room, he had put on his hat - backwards. He looked too cute!
Today, Nathan had his first experience seeing a movie in a theater. Even though Tripp said he looks terrified from this picture, Nathan did have a good time. He was a bit scared at first because the lights were down when we first went in to get a seat, but once the movie started, he was glued to my lap. He sat there for 2 1/2 hours!!! He did so good! He didn't even talk out except once when he saw something and wanted to know what it was. He loved the popcorn too! He keep eating out of that bowl that was almost bigger than he was. We went to see Disney's CARS. It is a cute movie. I look forward to taking him to another cartoon at the theater again.
I had bought two pairs of penny loafers for Nathan a while back. They both were a bit big, but the black ones were a bit smaller. I tried them on him Sunday. He looked so cute in his loafers and tie.
Yesterday, I took Nathan to his doctor for his 2 year check-up. He weighs 28 lbs and is 35 inches tall now! He is getting so big!
While we were there, I had the doctor look at his birthmark. He has one right under his right jaw. The first time he saw it about a year ago, he said it was ok. But since then, I have noticed it getting bigger and darker. Others have noticed it also. When Dr. Davis saw it this visit for the second time, immediately without me voicing my concerns, he told me we need to have it taken off. He had his secretary to personally call and make the appointment for us. He goes October 12 to a plastic surgeon at Erlanger to have it off........we are thinking by laser.
I will be glad for it to be off for two reasons. 1- I am concerned about the color and size change 2- I'm afraid later on when he gets to school, it will become a low self-esteem point for him because kids today being what they are WILL make fun of him for it. I don't want that............cause I will have to hurt someone's child and you would have to visit me in jail. :o)UPDATE: We heard from the doctor's office today. Apparantly, there was a misunderstanding when the appointment was set-up. Our appointment October 12 is for consultation only. If the doctor decides to do the procedure, we will have to set-up another appointment with TC Thompson to have it removed. We thought it was kindof weird that they would be taking it off without looking at it first. Thank goodness that is cleared up.
I can't believe it! Nathan is 2 years old today! Time is going by so fast, isn't it? It sure doesn't seem like 2 years ago I was in the hospital having him. This has been the best two years of my life! :o)
Tonight, we picked him up a cookie cake with a choo-choo on it. He really liked blowing out his 2 candles. Tomorrow night is his official birthday party. Can't wait to have the party. It will be fun seeing him open his presents.
Sunday morning, Nathan got sick. Monday he felt fine so we thought it was over..........WRONG! Tuesday morning as I was leaving to go to the dentist, he got sick again. That afternoon, he actually laid down on the kitchen floor. He did manage to get some bit of sleep. Today, he seems to feel better. I hope so because tomorrow and Friday are his BIG days!
