Johnny's Journal, Strange comments, Sweet Moments...

I was able to sneak away again tonight for, you got it, more hockey. Jonathan loved his WASH training tonight. On the way there he asked if he could do a blog, most likely an up-to-date day by day sports stat's blog! I said yes. Johny's Journal...we haven't started yet, but should be fun!

I heard a couple strange comments. One was about how the Dugger family who thinks you should wait until you are married to kiss... I can definitely imagine that someone aspiring to this in this 21'st century would be considered strange, but what's wrong with aspiring to that as an ideal. Just think of how excited that couple will be on their wedding night! WOW! If you have the time, go to the PanCratz blog from my blog and see how one of her daughters did this! What a wonderful testimony to purity in marriage.  I also heard someone say that Katya's mom will let her wear that skirt because it goes to her knees, in a very strange way. I wish they could have been there when Katya herself was talking about someone's skirt at a violin concert, and how it was almost showing her under's and that it wasn't appropriate. I have never told Katya she can't wear a mini skirt, but I am blessed that she chooses not to.  It's just interesting how different things can get twisted to try to make someone look bad, when all they are trying to do is live and encourage their children to live a wholesome life.

Sweet Moments....were had today. We watched RADIO, I strongly, can't say enough, really think everyone should see it, based on a true story of James Robert Kennedy, about what it means to care for someone that most people just over look.  After watching it, I really didn't want to talk to anyone, had a few things on my mind, mostly suspicions, and mistrust about a few things, and was ready to head out to hockey...and a daughter came to me and started talking.  Then, she said she prayed last night, about (lots of stuff!), and cried, and it was hard, and she read John 1 & 2, and she said she really needs to trust God, that He'll be there for her. She was crying when she was telling me and I was crying too, and I am so grateful for His good work.

I am always wondering what is around the corner because it seems with every good work from Jesus, there is a counter measure somewhere else, but for tonight, I am greatly encouraged, blessed, and grateful.

To Him be the glory, Love Alesia & Chris

Pray for those who persecute you....

Matt 5:11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven...."

Matt 5:44" But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of the Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.


Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.....

Phil 4:5-9 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things.


2nd Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

We adopted 4 older siblings from Ukraine in 2010 and hope we can help.

We will share what we learn and help you when we can. There are great supports here on this page. Sometimes it's one day, moment and breath at a time. And you're not alone. Love, Alesia & Chris
