Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks.  I have always enjoyed this holiday but this year I have so much more to be thankful for. 
I am thankful for God's grace and Salvation.  
I am thankful to have peace in my heart and know that i am on my way to Heaven.
I am thankful for one more day and one more chance to serve him.
I am thankful for friends that God has put in my life. 
Most of all this Thanksgiving i am thankful for Friends that have been a sholder to cry on and an ear for my troubles.  Friends that have prayed for me nad didn't beat me up for being so stubborn about not getting saved.  (Jaime)  I am just so thankful for being saved and i wish so bad that my lost friends could understand just how happy this makes me.   

Jesus really does understand

You say "life is so unfair".

They say" Jesus understands, he's been there."

You say "but things arn't the same

from when Jesus came".

But let me ask you

and tell me if it's true.

Have you been sold out by a buddy?

Jesus was betrayed for money. 

Did you ever get bullied or teased?

Jesus was beaten and tourchered, only the solders did this please.

Have you said something and no one believe you?

Lots didn't believe Jesus even though what he said was true.

Could you sacrafice yourself for a stranger?

Jesus let himself go through all this danger

Not because he ever comitted a sin

but so we could be born again.

So life may be unfair

Jesus life really can compare. 

Only difference is ,however,

He never complained ever.

So if you are feeling dumped on

Just remember God's only begotten son. 

From being betrayed by a close friend

to dying on the cross for everyonelses sin.

As the hammer swung

the nail into his flesh it stung.

He had a slow agonizing death.

At last he took his final breath.

You think this is the end.

But now is when Grace will begin.

Jesuus overcame death

in his nostrils there was breath.

He rose up again

to over come sin.

Now we don't have to die.

We need only to relie

on Jesus who died for us.

Now all we have to do is in him trust

inquistative minds of childfren

The mind of a child is so innocent.  They ask some of the wierdest questions and yet you never could of thought of it yourself.  My friends daughter is 12 years old and asks some bizar things.  She thinks about stuff in wierd ways and it is funny.   She does not get to go to church a whole lot but q bit with her grandma and sometimes with us but she is as a very pivatal part of life where God could realy reach her.  She is not so ingrosed in school friends and peer preasure and stuff like tath yet. She is an easy target. I am praying that she well find GOd and make a choice to live for him because I think that would hel p her mother .  Her mother claims salvation but she has fallin out of church a bit. She still goes off and on and soemtimes they go with the girls gramndma.  I am glad that they go from time to time but there are thre girls and they need God.   by the way Jaime I know i spelled about half of this wrong but oh well i don't care.  God isn't going to give me a spelling test before i geet in heaven.  Thank good ness i would be in big trouble. 

from the heart

New Life Begun

By ;  Ariana

I was born in a place that rejected me

All because I was born differentlly.

A new life I begain

When I became an American. 

Siblings I had and parents to

Then things got really blue.

My childhood shortened

My innocence taken. 

My secret I kept,  No one had I told,

But blaming God was getting old. 

My life has not been the same

Since out my secret finaly came. 

"God could have stopped it" I said.

Just Imagine if he had

Imagine if Jesus wanted God to stop his pain.

We would all be going to Hell in our sin.

Jesus did not complain

And his death was not in vain. 

On the cross he paid the final price

When he died and made the ultamate sacrifice.

Now all we have to do

Is trust and believe and he will see us through.

God will forgive everything you have ever done

When a new life in Christ you have begun.

So glad

Hello again out there in blog world.  I have been doing a lot of thinking and i am coming to ask all of you to pray.  See I have these two friends that need God.  They are wonderful people but they need God.  My one friend has a husband and three kids.  She doesn't really believe the Bible is even real so you can imagine how hard it is to talk God to her.  She has a rocky past and believes mostly in Carma.  My other friend Has a boyfriend and a baby boy.  She has a rocky past also and has had stuff in the last few years like her dad died and she had a miscarrage all in the same year.  She doesn't doubt the existance of God or the Bible but she doesn't want to give up the lifestyle she has.  Both of them are strugling right now but they don't see that God is what they need.  I ask you to pray for them because I know how much prayer works.  It took two and a half years of people praying for me but i finally got saved and now i just want all my friends to have that same joy and peace. I understand some of what they have gone through and I know God is what they need. I hope that I wil be able to be a good testamony and wittness. Pray for them. Please thakyou

Welcome to the World Of Chuckles!

Hello out there in Blog Land.  I hear this is the place to be.  Pam and Jaime go on and on about it and I wanted to be cool, too and have one.  For all you that don't know, I am Ariana, and I am the latest member of Lighthouse Independent Baptist Church here in Ninilchik.  I live in Soldotna though.  I got saved Agust 27th of this year and bapitzed September 9th in the Ninilchik River.  It was so cold!!!  Thankfully, they didn't have to dunk me again, I went all the way under the first time!  I am so thankful to be saved.  My life has not been the same.  I am a happier, more joyful person.  I can't believe it took me so long.  I thank all those who have prayed to that end for the last few years.  Well, this blogging thing can be fun, I see.  I am sure it wont be long and I will have more to say.  I always do.
