Karen's Message

October, 2004

    
Psalm 139:3&4, You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, O Lord, you know it completely.
    

Recently while visiting a very close friend of mine we ended up having a conversation about death, how that came about I'm not too sure but anyway, she said "When I die I want to meet God head on, I don't want to die in my sleep."  My initial thought was I don't want to meet God head on I want to die in my sleep. Now several days later I can't get that whole conversation out of my head, as my husband Gary says "Karen you dwell on the craziest stuff."

Well anyway it's not so much about the death part that I have been dwelling on; it's the part "I want to meet God head on", that gave me goose bumps, but why should it? When it comes to God I have nothing to hide he already knows my every move, He knows what I'm thinking before I even think it, He's with me during the good times as well as the tough times, He's with me 24-7.

I realize now that I probably already have meet God head on, you see in my relationship with God I thank him for all the good things in my life and I get upset with him for the times when things aren't so good in my life and he won't just fix them! Its like a parent to their child, God is with you, but sometimes He just has to say NO and let you work it out for yourself.

As we read in Psalm 139, God knows everything about us, there is no escaping Him, so it doesn't really matter whether its in life or death here I am with my dear friend reaching out to God HEAD ON. You know I don't think God would want it any other way.
    

Hugs and Prayers,
