"Pointing you to an
article: This is EXACTLY how I feel these days!!"
Does anyone else feel like this?
http://raptureready.com/soap/wasson45.html
An excellent description of where I'm at as well!
For the past 5-10 years, I've had to make a list of "what still
gets me excitied about THIS life."
Why?
Because......I have felt so disengaged along the last few years.
And my list is getting SHORTER along the way.
Yes, I love my wife.....we have a good home, the kids are all
fine and doing well......
But....
I feel like I'm just "killing time" ......just waiting for God's
next BIG thing on His End Times agenda.
As the Chris Rice song "Smile" says....."Every minute seems like
an hour....every day seems like a year" (or something like
that.....) "I just want this waiting to be over...."
The "success" of business.....hasn't been a big motivator for
me, for years....
The fun things of life.......aren't as fun any more......
not even golf.
I do still like to fly.....been flying for over 30 years.....was
up this past Monday. Saw an old missionary friend on the east
coast of Florida.....flew thru Kennedy Space Center - down the
shuttle landing strip (haven't done that in 15 years!)....
But...... those moments of real enjoyment......are now fewer and
fewer....
to quote from the article:
"No, this is a yearning so intense it’s almost painful, like
being separated from a lover. It’s a longing for home. We
Christians truly are aliens on this earth. We don’t belong here
and the closer we draw to God, the less interest we have in
earthly things.
I can honestly say there is no amount of money or fame, no
beauty or travel or even human relationship that could distract
me from my greatest desire; to be with the one who created me
and knows me best. To shed this decaying body and finally stand
in the presence of the Almighty, Holy God who loves me beyond my
wildest dreams. To meet face to face and see the smile of the
Savior who died a horrible death to rescue me. What could this
sin ravaged earth offer me that could possibly compare with
that?
Everyone I talk to online or meet, even people I see being
interviewed on TV, are expressing a feeling that life as we’ve
always known it is rapidly coming to an end. We all intuitively
sense this because we were created as spirits who possess a soul
and live in a fleshly body. We can perceive that the unseen
satanic activity around us is growing in strength, chaotically
swirling toward disaster. "
My comments.....
Something BIG is brewing in this world....and it ain't
good. (Read the article....right on target!)
I'm IN the Financial Business.....
Europe is on its last
breathe....economically...politically...... the US
ins't far behind.
NOTHING is being solved by our governments...
Morally...the decline is RIGHT IN OUR FACE......more so now that
Obama has come out on gay marriage.
The National news, like the local news....is filled with news
stories of the violence of one person against another....more
now than ever before.....ALL OVER THE WORLD...
Blah Blah blah....
I just want to see God's hand move in a BIG
way......soon....with a Pre-trib Rapture..
I just want this waiting.....to be over....
I do.......want to see all this happen........ to see what I've
been taught about End Times Bible prophecy come to
pass......to see it all happen.....and to ....... finally.......
be right, as well.
Tick Tock...
YFIC,
Randy
