Wow! So many things happening in all areas of the World, so much turmoil and confusion! Is the end near? What is going on? Our economy isn't the only one who's suffering, what about the whole rest of the World? What's going on?
Well...maybe the the question "Is the end near?" is a good question to be asking yourself these days! Maybe it's time to research what the Word of God says about what is suppose to happen in the end times!
I accidentally came across a broadcast on t.v. yesterday called "The Jewish Voice" and it was talking a lot about that very subject, "Is the End Near?" There were some men on a panel talking about the end times and how Islam will play into the end time role....how they will be deceived into thinking that the Anti-Christ is their Messiah, thought called by a different name than Christian's Messiah. They are going to follow this man because there Koran tells them that there will come a man who will usher in a 7 year peace agreement with the Middle East. This same man will enter into the Holy place and proclaim himself to be God...and then anyone who doesn't believe will be beheaded. Sounds incredible, but that's exactly what the Anti-Christ is suppose to do! So they are deceived by thinking that is their Coming Promised One!
If you'd like to hear the same video that I listened to, you can check out: http://thejewishvoice.org and listen to the video on the top center of their page....Islam panel #3. Just click on that and watch the video. You may be surprised at all the amazing information they are talking about on there!
After you've watched it, you may be asking yourself, "Is the End Near?"
Is cash going to be eliminated from our system? Will there be a one World currency and a one World religion? These are just some of the things that Christians have been talking about for over 40 years that I know of from my own experience...and I've seen it become quite possible for all of those things to come to pass in just my last few years. I remember seeing movies about not being able to buy sell or trade without the "Mark of the Beast", but now it could very easily become a reality with all of the high tech things that have been created...it's all ready and just waiting to be set into motion! You've heard of the Veri-chip, I'm sure...well it's alive and well...in fact a lot of the Mexican people have been getting them surgically implanted in themselves, due to that fact that a lot of them are being kidnapped and held for Ransom...they think this will protect them, because once they push a button they authorities will be notified that they are in trouble and will be able to locate them because of the Veri-Chip they have in their bodies!
If in fact the end is near, then where are you going to end up, Heaven or Hell? The choice is up to you, but don't take too long to make up your mind because you have no idea how much time you really have!

The Choice of Life
I was just looking through the YouTube videos and I came across a video that brought tears to my eyes; it's a video of Mark Schultz singing as song called "Everything to Me" and I just sat here and cried my eyes out....it was so heart wrenching! It's a video that shows how very grateful this young man is that his mother chose to give him life!
There are so many young woman that have to make tough decisions when they become pregnant. Will they keep the child? Will they have the child aborted or will they make the choice of life?
I can speak only from my own experience and I can tell you that if you choose to abort your child, the memories of that tragic day will haunt you the rest of your life! Oh, how I wish I would have thought about the other options available to me and not just taken the easy way out!
Yes...I was young, at the age of 17, but that was no excuse for the choice that I made, I could have chosen to give that child life. I know that God has forgiven me, but I don't think I'll ever be able to really and truly forgive myself for the choice that I made!
I am so sad that I went to Planned Parenthood, because they really don't tell you about other options. They just explain the the medical terminology of an abortion, telling you it's just a piece of tissue...but there was a woman sitting next to me crying her eyes out, she knew it was more than just a piece of tissue...oh how I wish I would have talked to her more, maybe we could have talked each other out of staying there an ultimately ending the lives of our children. That was so long ago, but it still remains a vivid memory for me and I regret the day it happened.
I can only say this to those who are contemplating abortion, 'Please look into other choices; I know it seems like abortion is the easy way out, but trust me it is not! That is a child within you and you are the one who decides if this child will have life or not, so please make the right choice, choose life!"
Watch this video and see how something you might think is a tragedy can be turned into a miracle! The choice of Life is up to you!

Guitar Pick Necklaces for Christmas or Birthdays
How would you like to give someone you know who loves music a gift that they'll love? I think that a guitar pick necklace is a great gift for any guy or girl who loves music! I have seen people of all ages enjoy wearing a guitar pick necklace! Teens especially love the corded guitar pick necklaces...they are very popular these days!
Guitar pick necklaces are very light weight so it doesn't hurt your neck to wear one, which is a plus for those who have issues with neck pain.
I think that guitar pick necklaces would make an awesome gift for Christmas; it's perfect for a stocking stuffer! Or maybe you know someone who's going to be having a birthday...a guitar pick necklace is a very nice gift and the prices are very affordable!
Do Something Nice for Someone Today!
When was the last time you just decided that you would do something nice for someone, and not expect anything in return? Most people wake up in the morning only thinking about what they need to do today in order to get ahead. What if we woke up in the morning and said to ourselves, "What can I do today to make someone else happy?" What a different World it would be if everyone woke up with that thought on their minds!
It doesn't have to be cost you anything to be nice to someone, maybe it's even just spending time with someone who needs your company! Maybe it's just deciding that today will be the day you give away free smiles! Sometimes just a smile can change some one's life...just knowing that someone actually cares enough to smile at them. Maybe it's saying something nice to someone at work, who you would normally ignore. Maybe it's lending a helping hand when you see someone struggling to lift something...the possibilities are endless!
So when you wake up tomorrow morning, instead of concentrating on what you can do for yourself, think about what you can to do change other's lives! We can make a difference in this World, one life at a time!

Are you ready?
Have you ever stopped to think about eternity? What will happen when you leave this earth?
I think about this a lot more now that I'm older! When I was younger, I really didn't think about it too much. I took for granted the days ahead of me....thinking I was somehow invincible.
I think a lot of people think that same way these days...never thinking about what could happen in the wink of an eye! I see it on the news all the time; young people's lives cut short. Do you think that they woke up that morning thinking about eternity...most people don't really think about it. These young people really thought that they had many years before they'd have to even worry about that kind of thing....but they were wrong! They thought they could just live there lives care free and doing whatever they wanted, even if it hurt other people, possibly doing things such as fighting, cheating, lying, stealing, damaging other people's property, driving drunk, maybe even killing.
People need to stop and think for a moment...where do I stand with God? Think about it right now...at this very moment, because you never know when your life might come to an end! You are certainly not guaranteed tomorrow!
Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life and no man comes unto God but through me"
The Bible says that "All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God" and it also says, "Whoever calls on me shall be saved", speaking of Jesus. How simple it is...just a simple prayer...just admitting that you have done wrong and you realize that you need Jesus to help you change...and you are willing to turn from doing wrong and try every day to live like you know God would want you to! God knows your where you are weak, so ask Him for strength in that area. Remember that the Devil also knows where you are weak and he will try to tempt and trick you where you are the weakest, so be on the lookout for him. The Bible says that the Devil comes to Kill, Steal and Destroy! The only hope you have is to ask for God's help! God wants to help you over come the enemy because God loves you! God only wants what is best for you!
Our time on Earth is not guaranteed so please...think about where you stand with God...before it's too late!

My First Main Treasury
I cannot believe it! I finally snagged my first main treasury page! I just sat and waited patiently and then *Bam* there it was... available and I got it!
I was so thrilled to finally be able to display some of the most beautiful blends of Black...White...Pink....that I could find! These colors just scream girly! I had been saving up these beautiful items in my favorites on my Etsty site, http://www.charsbeads4u.etsy.com/ and I finally was able to combine them to make a treasury that I am really pleased with!
I chose to include one of my Best Freinds, Anastasia @ http://www.mattscraftywife.etsy.com/ because she has been such a blessing to me. She just happened to have the perfect shade of pink to blend into my treasury. I was thrilled to see her sell her crocheted pink baby hat really quickly! That just confirms what I keep saying about her shop, she's so talented and has wonderful prices, how could anyone resist the temptation to buy her things!
I know that I just bought the cutest little Pink and Brown Poncho the other day and when it arrived I had tears in my eyes! It was so beautiful! She did an amazing job on it! She even scalloped the edges with pink! It's adorable! Then to top it off, she included 2 cross magnets, a pink one for my daughter that is going through a high risk pregnancy, and a blue one for me...she wanted my daughter to know that she was praying for her! Talk about a kind heart! =)
I hope the more treasuries I do, the more friends I'll make, because we all know that friends are more valuable than money! =)

Consignment sales of guitar pick necklaces
I never dreamed that I would have my guitar pick necklaces on consignment somewhere, but thanks to a dear friend of mine from Church a while back it is happened!
I started out with just some phone charms on consignment and then they allowed me to add in some key chains. I was so blessed by their kindness! Then one night one of the people in the bookstore said, "I love that necklace!" My husband said, "Oh, she makes those!", so that guys says, "Why aren't we selling them in the bookstore?" The rest is history! =)
I told him I could make the guitar pick necklaces with crosses on them or with WWJD or even a dove, and he loved the idea and said, "We even have 'Pick Jesus' guitar picks that would look nice on a necklace!" I whole heartedly agreed!
I then began to make up a bunch of guitar pick necklaces and I brought them in for him to see...he loved them and put them on display for sale! I was thrilled to say the least!
I went in last week and found that 19 of the 23 necklaces had sold! So I made up 23 more guitar pick necklaces and they put them on consignment! I was soooo happy!!! I am so excited to see what God will do with my little...I know how He has always taken care of me and He's always been my guide!
I thank God that He guided my friend that day to help me be accepted into our Church bookstore; my friend had faith in me and he prayed that God would bless my jewelry business! I'm so thankful he did!!! =)
