A Day in the Life of Nathan & Natalee

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.

Dolphin Video

I was finally able to post the video from our dolphin tour we took on Jekyll. It was so much fun! If you listen closely at the beginning, you can hear a rendition of Old McDonald by Miss N. Ha ha! Hope you enjoy!

Jekyll Island - Day 7 - Morning Musings

YIKES!!!!! We went out to the ocean this morning and were surrounded by sharks and stingrays!!!!!! A man down from us was fishing and caught several baby sharks and two stingrays and he was standing on the beach. Tripp later saw a larger shark swim by where we were sitting. Beach time is over!! Let's have lunch! Ha ha!

Jekyll Island - Day 6

Today we took a little break for the norm and started the day off riding bikes. Tripp discovered on the other side of the island a place called Tide Land. This is a nature center run by the 4-H clubs through the University of Georgia. It was a neat place. I actually learned a lot going to that little center and boy was Nathan excited! We saw some sea life up close, snakes and turtles. There was also some baby alligators. Afterwards, we stopped at SeaJay's, a little eaterie we discovered last year while lost on the island biking. Ha ha! We found it on purpose this time and enjoyed some nice juicy cheeseburgers. The rest of the evening was spent at the beach. Tomorrow is our last full day here. As always the week goes by so quickly. I will be sad to see it end.

Jekyll Island - Day 5

More fun at the beach!

Natalee is terrified of the ocean. She doesn't mind walking some along the shore, but getting out in the waves she will scream bloody murder. But being the mean momma I am, I will take her out there and sit on the sand and let the water run up to us. Eventually, she always goes to sleep. :-)

Today we re-visited the Jekyll Island Sea Turtle hospital. Nathan has been anxious for this all week. The hospital had 32 patients this day.

The doctors were actually performing surgery on a sea turtle while we were visiting. This poor fella was hit by a car.

A recuperating sea turtle. He was huge!

The kiddos loved looking at the turtles

Love this pic!

Tried to tour a house within the historic district at Jekyll. It was the summer home of the Rockfellers, but it was locked. Outside was this old little car of a thing. They had fun sitting on it.

These raccoons on the bike trail had no fear whatsoever. I was shocked that this little family was not vicious to us.

Hunting for alligators

Tripp trying to find volunteers to go into the marsh to find alligators......he was not able to volunteer himself...........big ol' chicken. Ha ha!

Jekyll Island - Day 4

I meant to have this day posted last night, but I struggled with trying to post a video of our adventure on this day but sadly it would not post. Hope when I get home to post it. We had quite an adventure today! After spending some time on the beach, we rode our bikes back to the historic district and hopped on a boat to take a dolphin tour. It was the best investment ever. We enjoyed it soo much! Below is some pics from our adventures all day long.

June 2009

Those of you who have been following us for a year now may remember this picture. We had this picture made a year ago here at Jekyll. Well, we found this tree again and made a new pic. Maybe this can be an annual thing if we continue to come back here.

June 2010

We are seeing so much wildlife! Deer everywhere! Sadly we have not seen our alligator. The bike trail we took last year to where we saw the 5 or 6 foot alligator in a pond was blocked off for construction.........but we are hoping to see another one somewhere on our bike rides other places on the island.

Our tour guide was awesome! Learned so much about not only dolphins but also Jekyll Island. Did you know Jekyll Island is the second largest area for sharks to breed? Something I really wanted to hear........... Ha ha!

The dolphins were so cute! There were about 15 of them swimming out by our boat. they came right up to the boat! Hope to load that video so you can see how close they came to us.

The captain threw out a shrimp net and caught some critters from the ocean. Nathan actually held a fish of some kind. They also caught a crab.

Natalee - this is usually how she spends her biking time. ha ha!

Jekyll Island - Day 3

We are getting in a bit of a routine here on the island now. As soon as we all wake up, we eat breakfast then head off to the beach for a couple of hours.........

After the beach, we head back to our home away from home and eat lunch. Then.........we head off biking.

Love these moss covered trees!

Taking a ride by the Jekyll Island Hotel. Wow! It looks really nice..........and expensive!

Then we ride back to the home away from home for some supper.......then we ride our bikes down the road to the beach. Our beach behind our villa is gone due to high tide but we can ride 15 minutes down the road to find a beach.

Isn't it beautiful??
