What? Picnics in Heaven?

Yep, picnics in Heaven. I've listened to a few opinions from some people and I've talked to God, and I've come to this conclusion...fear is NOT going to hold me back anymore! Many people that know me know what I was most afraid of in the world...dying. I've recently come to terms with this. It's going to happen and there's nothing I can do about it. But if I continue to live right, and keep doing God's will then i have nothing to fear....nothing at all. Man can't do anything to harm me because God is with me. So when the time comes and He decides my earthly life is over, then I will rejoice at the fact that I'm leaving this earth to go and have picnics in Heaven. Because picnics on earth just aren't cool anymore. Ants and bugs crawling every where, grass making you itch...seriously, when was the last time you or anyone you know had a picnic? Lol, or maybe I'm just the only person I know who doesn't do that anymore. Whatever the case may be, when Jesus comes back (and He's coming soon) I'm gonna be glad to go and be bathed in His glorious light. So get on the right path and follow God. Make sure you know where you're gonna spend eternity. Because burning forever in a lake of fire is NOT my idea of a good time. We all have work to do. I've finally overcome my fear and now I can move on to my other imperfections. Stop being so judgmental of everyone else. Look at yourself first. You're not perfect either. I say this to myself as well. We've all still got a long way to go but I believe that we can get there. Let's start with this:

1. Before you go to bed at night, read a bible verse. At least one, even if it's just "Jesus wept.", lol

2. During the day, ask yourself, "Did I judge anyone unfairly or to hastily today?" and if so, repent to God for  it. He will forgive you.

3. Try the very best you can to disregard mean, evil, and stupid things people might say to you. God is gonna hold us accountable for everything we say so be careful and think before you speak.

4. Take things slowly. Coming back to church and living a good, Holy life isn't an overnight process. It's a lifetime thing that takes dedication, and renewing the mind. Don't worry if you mess up. Get back up, repent, and get back on the path.

5. Being Christian doesn't mean you can look down on other people and critize their faults, so make sure you're still being humble.

6. Move foward, don't look back, stay on the path, and don't give up! It's a wonderful feeling when you're completely free.

7. Try to remmeber to give thanks to God for everything. This is His will for our lives. Be grateful to Him, even if it's just saying a blessing before you eat a meal.

8. On Sundays, try to listen to nothing but Gospel for at least an hour. It makes a difference.

Even if you forget to do some of these things it's okay. Just do one or two to start with. God wants you to come to Him because He loves you no matter what your situation. Don't ever think that He doesn't. I hope that this helps some people and if you try it let me know how it goes for you.
