You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.
Matthew 24:6-8
What we all need to understand is that our world is changing rapidly. Things are not going to go back to the way they were, as much as we would like them to. In fact, things are going to continue to escalate, just as labor pains get harder and closer together before the birth of a baby.
Jesus told his followers in Matthew 24 that they needed to see to it that they would not become alarmed by changes in the world. Now, if He said that, there is obviously a reason we should not be alarmed. He gave us things to watch for so we would know what is happening in the world. We can also know that just as a precious baby is born after labor pains, we have something wonderful to look forward to, as well - a face to face relationship with Jesus.
So, if you are like me, you probably want to know what to do. We need to be aware of what's going on. The Bible gives very specific details about what to expect. Study the passages about the end times then be prepared to be able to take care of your family. I will be starting a new section on my blog on tips for preparedness.
I mentioned Joel Rosenberg's weblog yesterday. Read it! He has been on CBN and Fox News, among other TV appearances and will be on Glenn Beck's show today. Glenn Beck's website is a good source of information, too. I know, I know...he can be a bit dramatic, but he does provide a lot of good information and has put together a show titled Rumors of War.
Be informed, be prepared! We need to take care of our families and each other.
Crafts
This was a fun little project that I did while my daughter was here. I wanted a large initial to stand on one of the new floating shelves that my honey built for my craft room. This paper mache letter was purchased at JoAnne Fabric along with some pretty scrapbook paper, flower embellishments and jewels. It looks cute with the pink initial I got on sale at Hobby Lobby.
