Direction

Sorry I haven't posted anything new for a while. I have been searching and praying for the future direction of this site.

When I started this, I thought that maybe 100 people might read it (many of those being friends/family) in the first 6 months. Well, in only 3 months there have been thousands from around the world!! Don't get me wrong- it's an awesome work God is doing, but I feel a heavy responsibility too. There are many warnings in the Bible about leading people astray and giving false information. Of course I would never intentionally do that, but without knowing the spiritual state of all the people reading this site (and the level of their faith) I can not know how they will receive this information. This has sidetracked me, and in all truth, has kept me from posting here for a bit, which is likely the work of the "accuser".

Thankfully, God has relieved me of that particular burden as He will deal with everyone's spiritual state. He basically told me it is not for me to worry about... What a relief!

My other "struggle" is about the direction and content of this site. I have felt a need to warn you about things, but also to build your faith for what is to come. This is not easy, and sometimes the two work against each other. I was speaking to a friend of mine about this very subject, and she had a wise reply: "Just give us the fish, and we'll spit out the bones."

It's all about discernment. God may give me a warning, and if it is His desire I will pass it on to you. But then it is up to you to take it to God yourself. You see, a warning may or may not apply to you- the community here is from all over the globe (you can see the areas that readers are located by the yellow dots on the revolving globe, or the red dots on the world map). What may apply in one area of the world may not apply in another area... or it may be worldwide. You will need to seek God and walk closely with Him.

Please pray for the direction of this site, and the courage for all of us to face what is coming.
