Rene, Connie, I know exactly how you feel! Isn't it interesting that the people we feel so comfortable sharing these things with happen to be miles apart. These online groups we visit, etc. I really think we were all called to be watchers. I can think of no other explanation for it. Why do WE have such an intense longing and interest? I've had a happy life, a wonderful husband and daughter.. plenty of trials as we've all had.. but nothing to warrant wanting to leave this world. I think maybe we "understand" or feel our Father's level of purity, honesty, goodness, and love, and long to be close to him for that reason. To see the world washed clean so we're no longer offended for his sake. Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you. :) May He return soon! I can't wait to rejoice with you all!
