i recently watched a video that was a report on the worlds changing demographics. It honed in on population growth among nations and the fertility rate (which must be 2.11per family) required to sustain a culture. This rate is not being met by any European countries and barely by the US. The only culture staying above the fertility curve, and by leaps and bounds, is Islam. Their fertility rate is at 8.1 (children) PER FAMILY. The culture is overtaking Europe right now, in 39 years it is predicted france will be a Islamic republic. The muslim faith now has more followers that Catholicism. I will link the video so that you can understand more thoroughly what we are facing but to blanket the problem, soon our culture will die out and be replaced by the flourishing Muslim culture. This terrified me utterly. Not because of what is happening, ive been reading about that in revelation for years but the simple fact that it is happening now. I always assumed I would live a full life; traveling the world, meeting incredible people, completing silly bucket lists, achieving my goals, making a difference, yanno all the things I wish to do. Yet in the moments after watching that I realized that I might not be able to. I'd never really fully understood the term "we're never promised tomorrow" I guess. And hey who knows I might live to be the oldest hag out there but it simply hit me that its getting bad and signs are showing and that I need to be prepared for whatever God throws at us. Now not to be doom and gloom about everything this was just on my mind and I realized that I'm certainly not happy about the possibility of my adulthood and future being wrenched from my grasp. I want to suffer through the hell that is working in the world, living on ramen noodles, making fun of teenagers who think they know it all, fighting with my significant other yanno I want the full "life" experience. and I got very angry with God because even though heaven will be unimaginably magnificent I want a crappy mortal life before that. And I soon realized that being mad at God was unreasonable and just wrong. I'm not promised a long life but it will only be as full as I make it. I can sit around and watch Netflix and be mad about the maybes in life or I could go out and do enough living to make up for any time I may lose. you don't count the minutes you make the minutes count and I want to live every single day like its my last because it very well may be and that's going to be okay because im going to live and spread love and that will not only fill my life and heart but also my fathers kingdom. im not sure where this went or what happened over the progression of this post but im just going to leave it and hope it makes sense and doesn't make too many people cry and hate me. the end
