Judge not, lest ye be judged..
I know it's late (early?) but I feel very compelled to write about this. I took a break from reading my bible, but picked it back up again tonight. I'm currently reading the book of Luke, and in chapter 21 (under 'Signs of the End of Age') it speaks about the signs of the rapture. Specifically from verse 10 and on. I just want to point out Luke 21:11 "There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven."
How many people just died in that earthquake in China? How many people are starving throughout the world? The rapture is coming, and while I am so looking forward to meeting my Lord and Savior (though I will never be good enough to earn the honor, I will have done what He asked and receive it anyway) I am also frightened. I am not worthy to meet Him, and I will never even come close to being worthy. I also want the chance to live my life, to raise my son, to receive a college degree, to be fruitful and multiply with as many kids as He would bless me with. I am so scared and excited at the same time. I pray that His will be done, but I would also love the opportunity to see my child(ren) choose to follow Him and worship Him also.
I also want to say how much I love my church. It is so wonderful and I am terribly blessed to have found it.
Speaking of my son, I also have to say, I came into my bedroom tonight, as he had woken up at about 1am for his middle-of-the-night feeding, and I am so proud, he rolled himself over! I AM SO PROUD! He rolled from his tummy to his back, and while that isn't as hard as rolling from his back to his tummy, I am extremely proud of him! He's such a big boy! Nearly 3 months old! Where does the time go?

Grr.. Rant
I just found out that my cousin had a baby on my birthday. That is not the part I am upset about, though.
She (my cousin) and her family are mad at my Grandma for helping out my family (over 12 years ago!) when my mom was getting a divorce. They were the 'favorites' - my aunt was my G-ma's favorite child, and naturally her daughter was the favorite grandchild -my G-ma and mom didn't get along when my mom was little but they patched things up and are very close now. Apparently that makes my Aunt mad and she refuses to talk to my G-ma.
FF to now - they put an AD in the paper of my G-ma's small hometown (about 1500 people), AND THEY DON'T EVEN LIVE THERE. They live about 2 hours away in a huge city. They only put it in there to upset my G-ma (THAT is what I am mad about!); they didn't tell anybody (none of the 4 other siblings or my grandparents) that she was pregnant and purposely put it in there to hurt my G-ma's feelings. My cousin used to be her favorite, and while she may not be anymore (she tries so hard not to play favorites anymore) I know it still hurts her to have been left out of my cousin's pregnancy.
Sorry, just really needed to vent.My G-pa is really sick (he has Huntington's Disease), and they just figured out what is wrong with him, my G-ma is on her own disability and now has to take care of him, and this was just something she didn't need. Thanks for listening!
