Tracy Dee here...I am not sure which one of you seems to be the ONLY one admitting that you "knew-fer-shur" it was LAST year....but I was one of them!  Just wanted to admit it so you wouldn't feel so alone.  I wrote a note here shortly after the non-event, stating that I was a little confused about how easily every one ELSE seemed to happily go on to the next "watch-and-wait" game with nary a look back.  I, on the other hand, was depressed, let down, lonely, and I had the worst case of "hopeless-itis"  I had ever felt!  AFTER I put out my miffed little tirade for all the world to see, I got lots of personal "for-your-eyes-only" notes from some of you admitting that same, black, dispairing depression.  I actually spent some time leaving the internet alone, almost feeling dead, like there was nothing to hope for!
  It passed...but I notice a difference this time.  Last year, everyone went wild over dreams, visions, numbers, and one or two factoids.  This year, all my studies are much more detailed, focused on scripture only-not anyone else's feelings or daydreams.  I notice the same on this site, too.  The core group seems much more somber, more given to deep study, prayer, and a detailed  understanding of scripture, Jewish history, and a true desire to find God's careful, deliberate way of showing what His will is to ALL mankind from BEFORE the beginning of the history since Adam.  Today, I am even MORE excited than EVER, but NOT like a little kid waiting for Christmas...it's deeper than that.  My soul LONGS just to see HIS face, hear one phrase:  "well done, my daughter.  Tracy--welcome HOME".
  I am desperate for it to be tomorrow, but I know I can survive disappointment.  The dry run was LAST year.  My Lord NEVER lies...He just has to wait for my pea brain to catch up!  Even if we still have more waiting to do, the amount of learning I have done since last year only prepared me for Him, more!  WHEN WE GET THERE, it will seem like a few seconds....and I will be with Him for ETERNITY!!!!!  
  Kinda cool, huh? Tracydee
