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.
I am having so much fun making dresses for Natalee. Here is one I made a few weeks back.
.jpg)
Natalee loves to slide! She is sooo brave for her age. The big red slide was at a local park and it was very steep and fast but she had NO fear. The other was at a mall playground. She kept going back for more and more. She is such a stinker!
Nathan's class had a field trip to the aquarium and I was able to go with him. We had a great time. I got to chaperone him and 4 other of his classmates around. Boy was that a job! LOL. But I sure do love interacting with his little friends.
Here is a video of Natalee singing some Bible Songs. The last one is "This Little Light of Mine".
Tripp took off work Friday to do some yard work. When it was time to go get Nathan, I just left Natalee with him. When I got back, this is what I found. This girl can sleep in some mighty strange places and positions. Ha ha!
We had an unexpected guest today when I went to pick up Nathan at school. Not sure where Nathan was, but this guy jumped into my van and told me to take him home. Unfortunately, he had no gold to offer me. I should have dumped him out on the side of the road. Ha ha!
For the past couple of weeks, Nathan has been coming home a bit upset cause two of his "friends" have been calling him names, like stupid, loser, and dumb. At first I figured it was just a boy thing. This past weekend, I found out quickly that this is not so. I came in contact with one of these hoodlems and this child is a spoiled brat. Well, Nathan just came home from school and I could tell as soon as he got in the van that he was hurt. Apparently, this child got in his face while he was talking to another friend and told him to "shut-up" and that he didn't need to be talking to other kids......and blah blah blah. This momma is MAD!!!! and I don't know what to do!! I don't want to cause an issue and then he be seen as a Momma's baby or something...........
Sure, it is just words and name calling...........but those hurt worse than anything in my opinion.........believe me I know. I have let people run over me for years and the person I've become is a unconfident scared person. I don't want that for Nathan.
For quite some time, Nathan has been wishing for a pet. We have had fish and frogs in the past, but he was wanting something different. This past Friday we went out to eat and on the way home we passed by the pet store. Nathan cried because we didn't stop. I felt so bad. Well, Monday night my mom called me and told me a friend of hers was wanting to find a new home for her two parakeets. I love birds. I used to have some when I was little and begged Tripp to let us get them. He finally relented and today I went down to get them. Nathan had no idea what was waiting at home for him today after school. He walked in and all of the sudden stopped short because he heard birds chirping loudly. He cautiously walked into the kitchen and his face lit up! It was so fun to watch him interact with the new pets. We are now proud owners of Spongebob the parakeet (yellow of course) and Squidward the parakeet (blue).
This morning at church, we celebrated the Lord's Supper. As the wafers and juice were being passed, Nathan was asking questions on what we were doing. I told him the wafer represented Jesus' body when he died on the cross and the drink represented Jesus' blood. Nathan's eyes got HUGE and he said "Are you drinking REAL blood?" I was trying to be sober and reverent, but I couldn't help laughing when he said that. It was so funny!
Natalee was in our bed just a bit ago, wild as a monkey. All of the sudden, she got out and disappeared. She crawled into bed with Nathan and went night-night. So sweet!
Nathan came home from school today and told me he had something to show me. I figured he had more school work to show me but I was wrong. My sweet boy, while he was outside at recess, found a flower. He picked it and held on to it all day to bring home to me. I love my sweet Nathan :-)
Nathan had a class photo made a week or so ago. We got it back today and it sure turned out great! I am really impressed with how they put all the children's names on it. I wish they did that when I was in school.
Nathan ordered some books from the Scholastic company at school. One of them was about pirates. I turned around to do some stuff around the kitchen and then Nathan started cackling and hollering at me to turn around. They are crazy kids.
We have had a lot of snow this year.........and I know why........Nathan!! Every time we have snow, I kid you not, he has prayed for it! He has been wanting to build a good snowman and this snow did it. He was one happy boy....even more happier when he got out of school 4 hours early.
Our snowmen. We were hoping for a family of four, but our hands were freezing and we had to go in.
Nathan made a huge snowball. He pushed that thing all over the yard! It was heavy!!
Miss N doesn't like snow. She came out a bit but decided quickly she had enough. Ha ha!
