"a warning - maybe?"


My mom (Shelly) thought I should share something I heard with you all. On Aug. 17, a week ago Tuesday, I was at the lake jet skiing with my family. The weather was perfect that day, but not a whole lot of activity. I went out for a ride by myself while my husband, his buddy, and my kids stayed on the beach. For those of you who don't know, when you're on a jet ski, it's the only thing you can hear; they're pretty loud. Anyway, as I was heading back, I heard this loud noise to my left, that at the time I had a hard time describing. I asked my husband and his friend if they heard it, and asked "heard what?" I told them it was so loud I could hear it over the jet ski, almost like an alarm or something, it had a high pitch, to my left, and was so loud I thought it was right next to me. They didn't hear a thing. Well, later that night my husband and I were watching the gymnastics during the Olympics. The event was the women's balance beam, and guess what, I heard that noise. It is a warning letting the gymnast know their time is almost up (there is a time limit for that event and the floor exercise; you could hear it during the men's' floor routines). I thought I was going to come unglued. I don't remember how long ago, but I had asked the Lord that when its time to go that when he gives the shout that it would be so loud that I would hear it with no mistake. Well, what I heard that day, I think is a warning that time is up. I thought it was pretty cool, and I thank Jesus for giving me an answer like that to my prayer. Time is short.
