End of Days...have you packed a bag yet?

So today's post is going to deviate from the norm only because its the beginning of the year and everyone is predicting the end of the world. First we had Haiti last year and several other devastating earthquakes, then Mother nature went ballistic with her blizzard this year, and droughts and famines all over and now birds are falling from the sky and fish are dying by their numbers see here, here, and here.

So if the world is ready to end, are YOU ready? I must admit on a human level I will be slightly ticked off that I was not able to do some of the things I wanted to do. Grow old, make loads of money, make loads of babies etc. etc. But I must admit its more scary than ticked off...I dont like things I do not know (can I get an Amen?)

I mean before the world ended I definitely wanted one of these:
















Definitely one or more of these which Gabe would design of course with enough room for family, Naa, Tala, my God children, my nephews (and nieces) etc. etc.










A couple of these











and definitely one or two of these















BUT God knows best right? It is a scary concept to think that we are going to be held accountable for what we have done on this earth. All our talents we were given did we use them to glorify God or did we like the useless servant bury these talents? Obviously not knowing what is on the other end is also scary from a human perspective. We like to know everything so we can decide how to feel about it. Well tough luck for us, this is one thing we have no control over.,

I have tried to do good and be good (though Ive had my moments), times like these cause me to pray more and think more. I have had a good life (no I am not dead yet) but God has been good to my family and to myself. Even when times seemed bleakest there was still a ray of hope telling us times will get better and they always have.

Though I do not know what the future holds, I know that God has consistently worked in my life to bring about God. I continue to strive to be the best I can be, to pray for myself and all my loved ones so that when the time comes we may all be rejoicing in Heaven together.

Matthew 24 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,^f]">[f] but only the Father. ³⁷ As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. ³⁸ For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; ³⁹ and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. ⁴⁰ Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. ⁴¹ Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

⁴² “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. ⁴³ But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. ⁴⁴ So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

⁴⁵ “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? ⁴⁶ It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. ⁴⁷ Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. ⁴⁸ But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ ⁴⁹ and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. ⁵⁰ The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. ⁵¹ He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
