Hello all my newfound friends! I think I love this site a little toooo much - I find myself spending time here instead of doing what I need to be doing! Not really - just sometimes. Anyway, I just wanted to invite any of my new friends that might be interested to add me to your friend list if you have Yahoo Messenger. My Yahoo ID is kathryn71459. Well, just thought I'd take a sec to invite new friends. Maybe I'll hear from some of you soon on my messenger. Love y'all! But more important - God loves y'all! Oh, and I make no apologies Y'ALL - I'm from the SOUTH!!! :) :) :)

Last Sunday night our pastor was saying that he has been feeling that there is about to come a divide, a division - but not a church divide, a spiritual divide. A time very near when the real and the fake are going to be distinguished. I was jotting notes on my bulletin because I kept thinking, "There's a poem in there somewhere." Well, I just finished getting this week's bulletin ready and I was sitting here looking at the notes I had scribbled from last week and the Lord just started giving me the words. So, here it is - "Fresh off the press" as they say... SPIRITUAL DIVIDE There is coming soon A spiritual divide And you can not afford To be on the wrong side It matters very much The choice is up to you He stands at the door and knocks Now what will you do? Time is running out You must make up your mind Will you serve Him here Or will you be left behind? If you can't serve Him here He'll not let you serve Him there If He's not in your heart You can't serve Him anywhere If you can't live for Him now You'll not get a second chance He'll later turn you away Without another glance So search your heart today Be sure you've made the right choice So when that day comes You will be able to rejoice.

Saturday, August 12, 2006 I just finished my second week of a new Bible Study and it is helping me sooooo much. I just wanted to share the prayer that I just prayed at the end of this week's study because the prayer says it all. If you ever have the chance to be a part of the Bible Study - The Vision of His Glory, Finding Hope through the Revelation of Jesus Christ by Anne Graham Lotz - DEFINITELY take part in it!!! You will be soooo blessed! Here's the prayer: Lord, Thank You again for this Bible Study. When we first started I remember saying, "I'll never be able to do that" - but look at what You have done! I feel closer to You than I ever have and I am finding myself wanting to spend more and more time with You in Your Word. It's like I've known You all these years and thought of You as a good friend but now I'm realizing how much You love me and how much I love you and it is sooooo WONDERFUL! Please continue in the days and weeks to come to reveal to me the things You want me to see and to know. I'm open to whatever it is You have in store for me. Your loving daughter I'm telling you - it's just like a new love affair - you know, how you always want to be with that person and spend all the time you can with them. That's how I'm feeling now. If you read the last blog I put out here then you know about Him holding me and telling me how He loves me until I FINALLY got it through my thick skull - and I think I REALLY got it this time because I still feel His love. Even on days that I'm not feeling so great and not necessarily "happy" (worldly happy) since then - I still feel that love and He sees me through. I just know that He has something truly wonderful for me out there but could never give it to me before because until I realized that He loved me I wouldn't have been open to whatever He has in store for me. I truly am now. I love HIM with ALL my heart, mind and soul. My prayer is that, if you don't know Jesus as your personal Savior, don't put it off anymore. He loves you - He died on the cross for you and He wants to come and live in your heart. He wants you to be in Heaven with Him when it's all said and done. It doesn't matter if you think you're the smartest person on earth or the dumbest - all you have to know is John 3:16 - then ask Him to forgive your sins and come into your heart and He will. He will guide you from there. He will guide you to new Christian friends and to the church where He wants you to be a part - not just to go and sit on a pew - but to ACTIVELY serve Him and bring others to Him. And, if you need someone to talk to about your walk with the Lord and you just feel like there isn't anyone you can call on - then call on me. Send me a message or a comment and, if I can't help you, I'll help you find someone that can. JESUS LOVES YOU!!!!! HE DIED FOR YOU!!!!!! If you had been the ONLY person on this earth, He would have died for you! As Anne Graham Lotz pointed out in the study last week - He is the Savior who has redeemed me, the Lord who rules my life, The King who will return for me and He is the most important man in the UNIVERSE! He is the God man. Jesus Christ is THE MOST IMPORTANT MAN IN THE UNIVERSE FOR EVER & EVER & EVER and the most important man in ALL the universe for EVER & EVER & EVER thinks that YOU are so important that He gave His own blood to redeem you. He gave His life for you. How can you feel unimportant? You are significant to THE MOST IMPORTANT MAN IN ALL THE UNIVERSE.

This is what happened the same night AFTER I posted the blog on July 20 on MySpace - I never even got around to putting this part on the MySpace page. I'm just going to share straight from my journal: ***************** At 9:45 p.m. I was getting the church bulletin ready for Sunday. Because of my experience tonight, I was going to put the words to the song "Jesus Loves Me" in the bulletin but the Lord had a different idea - I started typing "Jesus loves me, this I KNOW" but then the Lord gave me these words - Jesus loves me This I KNOW Not just because The Bible told me so Jesus loves me I now UNDERSTAND Because HE told me As He held my hand Jesus loves me No matter what It's not Him But ME that forgot *********************** Is that AWESOME or what? I just wanna praise Him forever!

Since I found this new site and joined, I wanted to post the blog here that I posted on my MySpace page on Thursday, July 20, 2006. Thursday, July 20, 2006 Okay - it's already past my bedtime but I HAVE to share this TONIGHT! Whether you are a Christian or not, I hope you will read this. It was a truly awesome thing - the most wonderful experience that I can EVER remember. I finished my Bible study a little early tonight so I went in my room and I just imagined myself climbing up in my Father's lap (now I KNOW I'm a big lady, but when I approach my Father I am as a child). Anyway, I just said a little prayer, "Father, I want to forget about ALL the junk of today and all that's on my mind. I just want to sit in Your lap and listen to whatever You might want to say to me. I'm just gonna rest my head on Your shoulder and listen." And before long, the most amazing thing happened - it was like He was telling me, "I love you". And I was just listening to see what else He wanted to tell me - and a few minutes later, I felt it again - "I love you" and I'm like, 'Yeah, I know you love me' and I kept listening. Again - "I LOVE YOU" a little louder this time. But, not louder as in "You're not listening", more like, "You're listening but you aren't HEARING - you don't get it - I LOVE YOU - no matter what - I LOVE YOU - YOU ARE MY CHILD. Well, needless to say, I had started crying - tears of joy I guess you'd call it - just a soft cry, then as I started feeling His love more and more I was just weeping. Now, my poor cats didn't know WHAT to think, but I couldn't help it - I couldn't stop crying - no - I really don't feel I was crying - I was truly WEEPING in the realization of His love. But I finally started to "calm down" a bit and I was like "Okay, Lord, I know you love me - I get it - really I do - now, I'm just gonna rest my head on Your shoulder a little longer and see if You want to tell me anything else." And I just rested on His shoulder for a minute or two and then - I kid you not, I am SERIOUS - I heard Him say "I love you". But it was softer this time and it was as if He gave a little chuckle as soon as He said it and then I let out a chuckle. And that was it...for the next few minutes I just laughed harder and harder and I know He was laughing with me! Now my cats REALLY didn't know what to think - but, again, I couldn't help it - I just couldn't quit laughing. Then, finally the laughter subsided and I just rested my head on His shoulder a little longer and just enjoyed a few "quiet" moments with Him. Then, I had to get up so I could come and write this experience down because it is DEFINITELY one of the things I am supposed to share - with believers and non-believers!
