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.
Since becoming a parent it seems that I cannot get my family anywhere on time ever....and I HATE HATE HATE that!I conned Tripp into getting a family portrait today after church. The earliest appointment I could get was 3:00. This year we moved AWANA to Sunday night instead of Wednesday and tonight was the first night so I needed to be there early to get things ready by 6:00. I figured 3:00 we would be in and out in time for me to get there.We arrived at the studio at 3:00. We stood in line a good 45 MINUTES!!! Tripp, Nathan and Natalee were NOT happy campers! There was a couple in front of us with a newborn who found a hidden waiting room and we all went to sit with our screaming children. Stupid me didn't bring my diaper bag in because I figured we would be in and out and the less I had to hold the better........WRONG! Natalee decided to have a DIRTY DIRTY diaper........the kind that leaked!!! So I had to run out to the van to get the diaper bag and clean her up the best I could. It was coming out of her diaper it was that bad!Finally at 4:30 we got called back to have our pictures made. At 5:00 we got that finished and were asked to sit again! At 5:30 I was sweating bullets. I had to be at church in 15 minutes and we still hadn't viewed our pictures! I called my friend at church to let her know I was going to be late and she covered for me - Thank you Heather! I cruised in AWANA at 6:00. Whew! Late but right on time for the opening ceremonies............If Tripp has his way.........we will probably never have another portrait made till the kids are married. ha ha!I hope in a week or so to have some pics loaded on the blog for you to see. I purchased a deal where you can download all the pictures to use for emailing, blogging, etc. So be on the look out for that!Despite being a nightmare photo session........we walked away with $100 something worth of pictures for $35. The girl taking ours felt sorry for us and gave us 4 portraits for free and the sitting fee for all 4 of us free......so it all worked out in the end.Whew! What a day! ha ha!
Natalee has an adopted grandma at church named Mrs. Jennie. Sunday night, she gave Natalee a warm, soft and pretty flannel blanket. Natalee loves cuddling up in it!

Nathan's birthday present has been quite a project! Saturday my dad, Tripp and my father-in-law all three were working on the thing. It is still a work in progress, but looking really great! It may be ready just in time for Nathan's birthday. He can hardly wait to try it out!
Today we celebrated Nathan's birthday - which is Sunday - at the playground. Most of his little friends from church and the neighborhood showed up, along with family. He had so much fun! The weather was really nice too with a breeze blowing the majority of the time we were there. I can't believe he is four! People told me that time would go so fast and it sure has. 
Granddaddy has come over every day this week except Wednesday to work on the playground. Last night, they got the majority of it done! Yippie! Except for a few minor things, it is pretty much done. Nathan and Natalee tried it out last night. Nathan loved it! Natalee wasn't too sure about it. She had to make sure Momma was in her sights the whole time to make sure she was okay in her swing. ha ha!.jpg)
