A Miracle

It was the day of a soccer game, i have been frustrated by school because i took a quiz and knew that i didnt understand and i failed the quiz. I walked out on the field full of rage, anger, frustration and a lot more. By half time i was still the same as i walked out on the field. In the second half after 10 minutes i felt all of frustration, anger, rage, ect., has been taken away and no one could do that by my Lord Jesus Christ. That day i have been the happiest person or at least it felt that way and i couldnt stop calling people and let people know what happened. It was just amazing. Jesus took away my anger, rage, frustration, ect. and gave me happiness instead. This is what i call a miracle. No one probably saw it but i did and i tell that Jesus can save you from your frustration, anger, rage, ect., even when you do not ask him to.

Testimony

I was born in November 4th, 1989 in Russia. My parents were both alcoholics. They didn't really care about kids and from the very beginning they showed me the world of abuse. By age 2, i was used as a toy at whom people laughed because a small child was a afraid of and her own parents. My own father used me as an entertainment to cut me with a knife and laugh at it. What i saw was over six years. Not did only i started to believe things like that there is no such thing as love, that anger, rage and getting back at someone is good. For six years i lived in fear of men and who i can trust. My parents hated me when i done nothing wrong. They used me to blame when something went wrong. This hatred ruined our relationship. At age 6, i got put into an orphanage in which i was safer, i had shelter and food. I stayed in the orphanage till the age of 11. Although being safe was good, i did not trust anybody. I started to hate myself. I cut myself and no one really cared. At age 11, on May 2001 i got adopted and i had go to court and say i want to be adopted and i said "yes" because i knew my brother Andrei needed someone who would love him and care for him. I got to America full of hatred and Glenn and Connie really didnt understand me and neither did i understand them. 2 years later, i went to do a prayer where you could be a Christian and take communion. But the fact was i really didnt care what that meant i just wanted to be cool like everyone else and call myself a Christian it was not till February of 2007 did i get saved for real where Jesus became my Lord, God and Friend. Even though the first 6 years was a to me Jesus had a plan for me to rescue me. And He did. In July 2007, i went to tacoma washington and had a lot of breakthrough. Jesus saved me through my darkest nightmares. Now i am crazy for Jesus because of what He had done for me. And nothing is going to separate me from Jesus.

Erie, cont.

On Friday, 14th of September, 2007 the varsity girls soccer team faced Grace Brethren. We had lost to Grace Brethren last year. The game was tense. By half time Phil-Mont was down 0-1. In the second half Phil-Mont came back so the score is now 3-1, but by some mistake we as a team made in the game the other team made another goal so the final score 3-2 Phil-Mont. The coach from the other team told us that Grace Brethren havent been beaten in this tournament in four years and it was surprising to us. On Saturday we were to play Cornerstone Christian School, so we as a team went to watch them. Then we went out for dinner as a team and had fun that week. But we didnt win the championship but there is always next year.

Erie

I am away on a tournament for soccer at Erie Pennsylvania. Last night we got to the place at 1 am in the morning and today we played our first game at 1pm and we won.The score was 5-1. Tomorrow we play the team that we lost to last year. It should be a great game. And whether we win or lose i am playing for the glory of God. Jesus is my Lord and i only play for him. i am not playing for getting praise from others but so that i can bring glory to God in all that i do. I will update this thing when we play another game but for right now i am happy that we won and that no one got injured but i will praise God for giving me the opportunity to show my ability and not to boast about it but to give glory to Jesus.

Jesus is in My Life

My life is about living for Jesus Christ who is Lord over all. .For me it does not matter if people look down on me because I know that even when people look down on me i will always have Jesus with me at all times. He is my Lover. He is my Life. At school, we have chapel every Tuesday and someone groaned, and this is a Christian school but i said that we should be happy to go to chapel and hear the word of God and sing praises to Him. I love Jesus and that will never change, I believe he is here with me at all times and he is willing to restore us every minute of our life. Jesus is my God, Lord and Friend. He saved someone like me who from the beginning was a sinner and now Jesus saved me and i value that.

Quote

I am currently reading the book called "Good News About Injustice" and i found this quote "And while the kingdom of God will be complete only in the coming of Christ, today our great joy and privilege is to work as colaborers with the Creator in extending his kingdom over one more life, one more family, one more neighborhood, one more community. The people of God will find in Christ the compassion and courage to engage the call to justice, for we know God promises that we who do not "become weary in doing good... will reap a harvest if we do not give up" (Galations 6:9)

In my Bible class we are studying the Christian Doctrine and systematic theology. And for the first unit there are six questions that we will be looking at.
1. Why is the Bible so important???
2. What are some various methods for studying the Bible????
3. What is Christian doctrine (systematic theology)?????
4. What are the traditional divisions of systematic theology???
5. What is the connection between doctrine and life????
6. Why is it necessary to "do" Scripture as well as listen to it???
these are the questions I will be looking at as i am studying the christian doctrine.

Nathaniel's Wedding

My cousin Nathaniel got married to Ana Baptista. The wedding was a lot of fun and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Erdemheim Farm

On the weekend of labor day some of my family came to Pennsylvania for my cousin Nathaniel's wedding. A day before we went to the farm for fun and to show Elisabeth who is 3 years old some farm animals like horses, pig (which was the ugliest pig ever, who was also 14 years old.) sheep and chickens. Henry, who was 5 months didnt like the sound the sheep made. Other than that we had a lot of fun visiting each other and touring this farm.

Shelby's New Hairstyle

Shelby decided to go for a new look before school started and actually it already has but this is what it looks like. After she had her hair done she just wanted to take pictures so she and i took a lot of pictures with my camera and i finally have a chance to put them on. We had a lot of fun taking the pictures, and making crazy faces at each other. Even my own brother who hates pictures let us take a shot of three of us.

Jesus Saves

Ever think that you are lost and cant find a way back??? Ever feel in deep pain and not knowing who you can trust??? Ever feel like every person will discourage you??? Does life has to be like this?? My answer to you is no. No you dont have to feel lost, in pain or even discouraged in any way because Jesus who Lord of all will save you from every trouble you are in whether it is big or small. I have only been a Christian for about 7 months almost 8 and i often find myself in a place of confusion but that is only because i had wondered from the Lord Jesus Christ and started to listen to the s and but my cousin Suzanna says what i need at this point is a reality check. And that is when someone is actually straight with you but telling you nothing but the truth, yes it can be hard to hear what the truth is actually is but the fact is i needed to hear it and it helped me a lot, it helped me to rise up and say yes it was my sin to even listen to the enemy but now i can choose the Lord Jesus Christ who loves and who always will. Jesus will always save those who come to him, not only me but you also. His love will never run out. I know that for a fact. And another fact is that i always love Jesus and wants to destroy that and will constantly lie but the choice is simple light or darkness and i choose the light and that light is found in Jesus Christ.
