Are you ready?

Dear fam,

     Did you guys feel that earthquake yesterday? I just wanted to make sure y'all were doing okay. I'm going to be honest, I literally thought that Jesus had come to take us home during the earthquake. I was shaking and thought, Am I going to see God today!? Lord, please don't leave me behind! That might sound ridiculous seeing that I am still here, and so is every other person I know, and also it was a very small earthquake, but that's what I was thinking. After all, there has been some quiet talk of Luke 21:11, "There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven." Not that that is exactly what is happening now, but the virus was what had first caught my attention. I, of, course don't want to make any of you worry, but I just hope you remember that nobody knows when Jesus is going to return. It could happen any minute now. Or hundreds of years from now... we just don't know. 

    This is a big discussion and I only wish I had more time and faster fingers to lay out my thoughts completely, but this will have to do for now. I just hope you understand what I am meaning.

     It made me think about something else too, and I hope it made you think too. Would I have been ready to go? I'd like to think I was. I'd like to think I am ready. And yes, I do believe that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, and that is all it takes, but in truth, I don't want to go without accomplishing my #1 goal: to bring someone to Christ. I absolutely don't want to go knowing that I could've done or said something that would've brought them to Christ. I barely know more than five people personally who aren't Christians, but I know they are probably all around me and I have every chance to share the Bible with them. And that's why I started this blog! I wanted to do something for God, and this seemed like the best way seeing that I am still very young. 

      Fam, I want to see every single one of you in heaven one day. It would be terrible to have you read these things and they not tell enough to encourage you to become closer to Jesus. Yes terrible for you, but also bad for me too, knowing that I might've been able to do something. So I would like to ask you this question and I hope you will answer it at least to yourself within the next hour. There's not any time like the present, right? ARE YOU READY FOR WHEN JESUS TAKES YOU HOME? Romans 10:9-10 says, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved."

      Please consider these things and BELIEVE!

Your sister in Christ,
