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.
This pregnancy has really been hard for me. At 5 weeks, I started having morning sickness 24 hours a day. After dealing with that for 10 weeks, I had lost 13 pounds and was very weak. Also during this time, I found out that my pap smear came back with abnormal results for the second time in 3 years. The abnormality was so significant this time that Dr. Radpour wanted to do a biopsy to check for cervical cancer. At 15 weeks, I went in and had a small microscope ran up through my cervix. My cervix was infected quite a bit. Unfortunately, I started bleeding so no biopsy was performed. After Junebug is born, we will try for a biopsy to see for sure if I have cancer or if it is just an infection, which right now Dr. Radpour thinks is all that it is. Well, to make matters worse, I had a quad screen done the same day as the cervix test. Our family does not know this until they read it right now, but I got a call 2 weeks later personally from Dr. Radpour saying my blood work for that came back abnormal. There was a risk of Junebug having Down Syndrome. January 7th, 2008, we went to see a high-risk doctor and geneticist to see is if Junebug may have Downs. After an ultrasound, the doctor said Junebug measured okay but he couldn't say whether the baby had Downs unless we took another test. Even though I had planned not to have one, we did agree to have an amniocentesis performed because if we knew if we didn't we would worry for the next 5 months about Junebug. We were assured it was safer for us now than in the past. We were told we would know the results in 7 to 10 business days.
Through all this, I kept wondering Why? Why is all this happening? Everything that can go wrong, is going wrong. After crying quite a while after Dr. Radpour’s call, Jesus reminded me of something. He reminded me of Job. Job was a man who tried to live like God wants us all to live. The devil knew this and he was so confident that he could make Job turn away from God by causing all kinds of trouble for him. It got me thinking…..the devil is certainly mad at us. This year has been such a wonderful year! My family is happy at our new church. I am working in AWANA again, which is where I feel God wants me to be, and I am singing and playing for the choir. Nathan is so excited about church. He constantly talks and sings about Jesus and can’t wait to go to church and Cubbies and learn more about Jesus and the Bible, and Tripp was baptized.
So I have come to the conclusion that Satan is mad and he is trying to do everything he can to make me upset. But he is NOT going to win! I will continue to do as our Sunday School lesson taught us the Sunday after I got the phone call from Psalms 145. I will continue to praise and love God no matter what comes…….and I will never stop telling my children about His love and forgiveness. If the devil wants to get mad, so be it. He WILL NOT WIN! God will and always will have the victory!Well, just a few minutes ago we got the results. Junebug DOES NOT HAVE DOWN SYNDROME!!!! Also, one other thing we did find out when we went for the ultrasound with the high-risk doctors and was confirmed with the aminocietesis is the gender of our baby. From now on, our Junebug will be known as N (Natalie, Natalee or Natalyee) Allyson Webb. :o) We are still scheduled to have an ultrasound on the 24th, as I mentioned in a previous post. The thing exciting about this one is we will get a video of Miss N to keep. I am going to try to figure out how to convert it to a file where I can post it on here for you to see. You will get to see in person what a wiggly-worm she is!Thank goodness all is okay! I have one more test to do that is a biggy! I keep laughing in my mind that I will probably fail it too, but in the end it will all be okay. I just know it will no matter the outcome.Check out the pics below from the ultrasound with the high-risk doctors.
Liana, I am sitting her crying, but I did sense something was not right at Aunt Betty's, you were more quiet than usual. I even asked Allyssa if she knew if something was bothering you. I know GOD is with you and all of us and everything is going to be alright. Just remember this: It is not the situation that we are going through that matters, it is how we handle it for GOD. meme
ReplyDeleteTripp, Liana, & Nathan,
ReplyDeleteWe are so thankful and proud of this wonderful news. Miss N will be just what Jesus ordered.
