Hello everyone I guess this is some place where i can layout my thoughts and feelings. I am excited to do that. I am not sure how many people will read this but I guess I just am doing it for myself and would like others to input or advice or just listen. It has been a crazy few months in the life of some very close friends of mine. A longtime friend of mine lost her 2 year child from a terrible accident, also my cousins husband was in a serious accident. So why I am starting this is to find some soul searching and also my first question in this blog is WHY DO ACCIDENTS HAPPEN?Is God telling us something, to have so many accidents happen at once? Is the world coming closer to an end and that he wants us to beaware of our Christianity???? The questions I am asking everyday is why he chooses the ones he does? We are all his children. There is a song on a local country station that says "We all want to go to heaven But not right now". Something like that. That is a very good statement. I know everyone I ask says that they are going to go to heaven. My children believe that and so do I. I want to meet my Lord and My Savior because maybe he is the one that can answer these questions I have. I read the Bible and that helps me with some of the questions I have. With the way our economy is today everyone is cautious and concerned of where we will all be financially and what will life be like for our children, will we hit a depression? Well I really do hope that we do. I know that sounds harsh but I think that is the only way we will get people in this world to really realize how well life really was for so many. I really want my children to realize that you have to work for things that you want you, shouldn't just put them on a credit card. When my husband and I started dating back in 1993 we had life made. So we thought. My husband was working construction and making $10.00 an hour and working hard, I was a nursing assistant making about $7.50 an hour. He baught a new boat, I think I had every new piece of clothing that the mall had shipped in. Then I was blessed with becoming pregnant so we found a piece of land for contract for deed and baught a used trailer house and moved in. I had a baby girl Hannah Renee, I work now at Avco financial services, we had a home and daycare and a rude awakening. But we still felt we had life made. I was crying in bed before I had Hannah and explained to my husband that I feel like I am such a sinner and looser because I got pregnant before we were married or for that matter engaged. So my husband ran down town and baught me a wedding set with his credit card and proposed to me that night. That is just another example of we had no money but man did we have credit. Every day I went to work I missed Hannah so much, I would always seem to need something at Wal-Mart, you know diapers, oh yeah and a new outfit for Hannah. So I would pull out that plastic card and purchase whatever I wanted. I would get my statement and look around and have nothing to show for my spending. The diapers were used and Oh yeah the outfit was ruined because hannah trew up on them and stained the new outfit. And guess what else I only sent ff the minimun payment because that is alls I had. This continued in our lives fo years. What I guess I am trying to say is that If there was a depression It would benifit us all. Ourselves and our children. We would all get back to the basics of our lives that our grandparents lived, sitting down at supper time as a family, talking about each others days. Enjoying the kill that dad got in the woods for dinner and thanking him for that and thanking God for providing us the wildlife. Listening to your family laugh together. Playing a game of catch outside with them, Instead of running all over to pick up kids here and there and never seeing them enjoying the sport until maybe a game and that is if you can make it there. Having the closens of family life. Having mom and dads come over for dinner, or gathering for a game of cards and listening to the radio, reading a book together with your kids. I have always said I was old fashioned. I proved that wrong when I went on shopping sprees and took out the plastic to pay for things that I really did not need. Then refinancing because you can't aford them. In the olden days or Depression days you did not get those luciours you didn't get anything until you had your money saved and then when you did get it man you took care of it and when it was old it was still like brand new.... Maybe all of this that I am sharing is all about why there are so many accidents that are happening.. Maybe we are to wake up and see that light that has been given to us by our Lord and Savior.. Maybe he is saving the young and bring them home to him now because we are all causing caotis here on his earth. Maybe he is teaching us to be thankful for what we have. When we have to struggle it makes us stronger people. I will continue on these thoughts again but for right now I need to go. peace and love to all

When God created Adam and Eve, it was a perfect world. He have us the freedom to make decisions because He didn't want our relationship with Him to be forced. Man chose to disobey and go against what God said was good for him. (I know I spent the better part of my adulthood going against what God wanted for my life). So the thing is, bad things happen, God doesn't CAUSE them to happen, but He does ALLOW them to happen. He promises us however; that "All things work together for GOOD, to them that love God". So we continue to trust HIM in the midst of heartache, trial, our own mistakes, failures, a tough economy, etc. Because HE PROMISES TO TAKE CARE OF US. We don't always see the 'big picture' in the midst of the pain, but we can rest assured that there IS indeed a loving Master, with a Master plan for each of our lives.
