me

I am just so amazed that every time I read things over how more things jump out at me the next time I read them. For instance, I didn’t realize it took 120 years for Noah to build the ark. HOLY MOLY you have to have some serious trust & faith in God. Could you imagine? People HAD to have walked by for 120 years telling him he was a lunatic, laughing at him & mocking him!!! Noah probably said, "It’s going to flood so I am building an ark" Ok after several months of no flooding, then years, people HAD to have thought he was a crazy man!!! And the determination to keep building that long?!?! WHOA!!!!  And I wonder if he built for a while then had to wait for more trees to grow.  That had to have taken a lot of trees.  So I wonder if he had to go find more trees or if he grew them.  HMMMMM......

Or how about after God shut the door & it started to rain.  I wonder if people realized what was going on at one point & came up to the ark knocking, screaming & crying for Noah to open the door and let them in.  Listening to all that commotion knowing that you will be the only people left on earth.  Shocking....

OR how about being on that boat for over a year with just you & your immediate family with all those animals.  Swaying back & forth all day & all night for months & months......  Not seeing any land whatsoever!!! 

I used to read these stories all the time & NEVER saw these things, but lately I think about these kinds of things.  Makes you wonder......

It is amazing. I remember being taught the bible when I was growing up and I found the stories interesting. Now I seem to read the bible in a different light. I believe it's more than coincidence when you just happen to read the right verse at the right time and it's almost as if it's God's Ann Landers column.;)

Nikki :D

Yay I found you Kelli. Interesting that you mention Noah. We just learned about him a couple weeks ago, how he built an arch the size of a football field while everyone else laughed at him. It's amazing to read about how not one person besides his family members took the warning that the end of mankind is coming. His faith is a good example to us. We as Jehovah's Witnesses are warning people about the end of this system of things, and more than 1,000 people are being baptized every year. There's maybe 10 of those from our area, but the number from all around the world sure adds up. The bible is not just a story. What it says about Armageddon is going to happen! And I am so glad that we as a family are deeply involved in learning about Jehovah God and having bible studies with others. Noah had no one listen, but we have one or two listen so we should be thankful.

By the way, where is your main journal, with pics of family etc??

Aloha,

Isn't that weird how you study something & mention it & others are studying the same thing & you had no idea the other was?!?! I was just reading how huge the ark was too. I guess it had to be since he had to take all those animals!!! Needed LOTS of room....

This is my main journal....you just have to click on the arrows back & forth if you are on a white page with black writing....if you are on the page that is pink you just scroll down to see all the entries. Does that make sense??? If not I will try to explain it better!!!

Also if the page is all white with black writing....click on mom2six & it will take you to the "pink" journal...then you can scroll down for previous entries & there will be a spot on there that will say previous pages or previous entries or just previous & that will take you to posts prior to the ones on the page. HTHs!!! I have to go pick up my pictures today so I will have more pictures in here soon!!!

Re: Hi
Hello & welcome to my journal!!!
I added you as a friend so you will be able to read my whole journal. I have to admit....I only recently have become closer to God. My life was in the "valley of the shadow of death" just a month to 2 months ago!! But I had it in my mind that if I read the WHOLE bible by Dec. 31st that things would change & they have!!! God is so good & is doing wonderful things in my family & with my relationship with my DH!!! It isn't totally good yet but God is still leading me in the way to go & shaping me & my family into a very Godly Christian home!!!!
