Heather! You said: Kelly,
I feel the same way. I have alienated everyone around
me. I am like a pariah and no one wants to be around me. Whenever my husband
and I go over to their houses they look at me like I am one step away from the
crazy house and they always give me that "I feel so sorry for you." look. I
feel like I AM crazy sometimes. How can people be so deceived by the world
around them? With all of the things I see, I want to shout warnings from the
rooftops and yet they look at me like I am the one who is crazy when I try to
tell them. God has recently laid on my heart to just be quiet and let my life
be a light to them, but sometimes it is hard to shut me up, especially when the
comments start coming. I have decided to worry about getting myself as ready as
I can be and lt that be the witness.
YSIC,
Heather

And
Heather, you TOTALLY NAILED those "looks"!!!! EXACTLY how I feel!! I even
dread family get togethers because I walk into a room, and eyes look at me, then
suddenly look down!! I know they've been talking about me!! ... or at the
very least are thinking: "there's the "rapture kook"!!
What
is the use in telling them any more? We are merely trying to warn them (if they
are not true Christian) in letting them know they COULD come along, too, if
they'd turn to the Lord -- His way. Or in the case of real Christians, we are
merely trying to "comfort" them with the words of our Blessed Hope -- but one
thing about it, surely we cannot comfort someone in this way who simply does not
want to hear it!!
And
so.... here we meet at a cyper place in cyperspace..... so that we may comfort
EACH OTHER!!!
Hoping
for Pentecost! Maranatha!
