what's important

it really is when we draw closer to God that the devil will try to bring us down. i've lately had to come to terms with the fact that what may be important to me isn't as important to those around me, eg. God, honesty, love, soldiership, etc. it's funny when you find out that what you might hold close to your heart others hold as far away from theirs as possible. recently i've found out that a decision that i am making for God hasn't really got all of my friends enthusiam. it hurts, but it's helped me to realise that as i'm drawing closer to God the devil is trying to attack me and the weapons that he is using are my friendships and in the end the only thing that matters is Gopd. i can't wait until all my friends are interested in God and me becoming a soldier to do it, because i'm making this choice for God. so i just thought that i would say that instead of being defeated by the devil's attacks i've grown closer to God! and it's awesome! sorry to blab on. lol.

i'm gonna b a soldier!

hey there everyone!
just thought that i would a blog on ME BECOMING A SOLDIER!
i'm so excited! i can't wait! it's happening on the 3rd of june @ greensy salvos @ 11am!
be the or be a.............rectangle? lol. square! i was talking to a friend the other day and we were just talking about what it means to be a soldier etc, etc. ani feel as if i'm more excited now than when i first decided to be a soldier! if u come on sunday then you'll hear my testimony, if not then here's a little sneak peak: God has put the salvos in my life and the only thing that i'm sure of concerning my future is that they're always gonna b in my life! just like God! becoming a soldier means sharing the news of God to this world, it means holding true to the beliefs of early salvationists! it means that i get 2 wear a uniform, but it also means that when people see me in that uniform then they will hopefully know that they have found someone who will help them the best that they can, that will lead them to God, that will be there for them, that will not judge but openly accept them. i can't wait for this part of my journey with God to unfold, so whoever reads this if u want to come then please do. ither way plz pray that God will use me in the salvos.
thanks all.
love alana;-P

GOD ANSWERS PRAYER! YES HE DOES!

God is amazing.
just thought i'd start off with something we can all agree on. lol. for those who aren't aware that i went to the salvo easter camp...i went 2 easter camp! it was absolutely amazing! although it took a little while for it to get that way. at the start of camp i was in a major rut. i wanted to go home and never speak to anyone ever again. mainly because every where i turned there were friends fighting and i just couldn't find the love of God present. i was even starting to question my future with the salvos. and so i decided to give it to God and see what he could do with my life and present situation. on the first night i wrote down a prayer to God. i forgot about it and found the prayer a day or two later. i was so shocked when i read my prayer. even though it wasn't that long ago so much had changed! it was as if i had fallen asleep carrying a whole lot of burdens and woke up completely free! pretty much everything that i prayed for God has given to me. i prayed for certain relationships to be healed and the other night i found out that they pretty much all are! i prayed that god would help me not to feel so depressed at camp and now that i look back i can see that i came out of my shell in a big way! i can't think of a better way to celebrate easter than to spend it with a whole bunch of christians at camp. i will admit that i am a camp nut. hope u've enjoyed me blabbing on. lol. god bless and never be afraid to bring even the smallest things before god in prayer.
alana.
ps. remember, if you give a problem to God you have to leave it with him. worrying about it constantly is just showing that you don't trust God.
