Candy, good to see you back here. Sorry about the problems with your old profile. Take care and have a great day!

Hello Candy!!
Welcome! How are you doing?
My name is Paige, another moderator here on TheNet and its a pleasure that you have decided to join us again. I was # 45 here last October, and look how far we have come and how many members we have! I dont belive it sometimes, but hey, thats how God works. He is a God who has plans for us we know nothing about right? He is faitful to provide our every need. I think TheNet here was fore ordained by Him to help others and bring them to HIm ina place that a million people go to and that is thier computer.
Im glad you are here to make some cool friends in Christ and fellowship with all of us daily! I dont know what Id do without this place. Its a good way to get "filled" with the word and get help and the encouragement I need to keep on keepin on. In a fallen world, we all need encouragement, not to mention LOTS OF PRAYER!!!
I see that you are an artist! I have a business that the Lor d blessed me with called P.M. Design. I am an illustrator,designer, and painter. I paint soo many murals now a days that its crazy. Im a paintin fool for Christ! I never thought Id be wher I am today. You can see some of my work on my profile. You should definately pursue your interest in art. I bet you are good, especially with the spirit in you. I found it alot easier painting afterChrist because of Him. He will work in you and through you as you pursue your gifts and talents.
You are meant to be here. We were both living in darkness, but we saw the light. I suffered immense pain, but Im in a better place now.
I hope to get to know you better as we walk this path God has set before us. Please keep in touch, and if I can help with anything,let me know.
Paige

Hey girl!!!
I loved getting all your awesome messages!!! u r soo sweet! I love it when people respond back to me cuz sometimes I have no clue that people get my messages or not. So, thanks girl!!
Thank for all the compliments!!! I really appreciate it. Comments on my work always encourage me to keep going. To keep up the work God has called me to do. I have painted and drawn in soo many churches, that its not even funny. I love being in a church environment . I used to work at Calvary Chapel a whil ago before my second child and I got soo blessed by that. I now just paint my little heart away in homes, businesses, and wherever need painting, Im there. I highly encourage you to draw your little hearts desire and dont give up. If you are born with this gift, you already Know art, you judt need to start doing it and keep on making pictures to get better and better. I went to college in Computer Graphics, but I cant really say that I learned to draw. I had a gift, do it came naturally. Just do it girl!!! Draw draw draw!!! oh yes, I did draw the girl. I have no ides who it is. I just made her up.
Anyway, I will check out your artwork on your other page. WhY did you make another one?
You are 16 huh? Cool. I remember when I was 16, but I wasnt saved by any means. I didnt have God in my life at all. Not that my family were Athiests or anything, they just didnt attend church, or feel that it was important to do so. So I lived a very "secular life" I guess if you want to know. A very DRAMA filled life. I dont know how I survived all that drama!! Oh my! I bet now its even worse!
Back when I went to school there were no gangs,or guns, or alot of drugs. I sluffed school, partied and had alot of boyfriends but I didnt see any of all that other stuff. Cell phones back then looked like bricks!!! I dated an undercover cop when I was yung, and he had a "brick phone". I thought I was soo cool riding around with him and a phone. H aHa. I better stop, I have such a full life before Christ that I could easily write a novel and beklieve me, the book would be in the Drama section!!! HA ha!!
Anyway. I love you sis and Im glad you are back with us. Why did you leave anyway,girl?
God Bless you,
Paige

Hi Candy!

Hello Candy! I have missed you! What have you been up to? Been I while since we last chatted :-)

hi Candy! its nice to know you want to be a nurse too!! hehe.. Well just dont forget to pray always. Remember God is our great Physician, and we are His nurses. Godless you! What level are you in??

Hey Candy!!
Sorry it has taken soo long to get back to you!!
I have been busy, and I have been a total space cadet when it comes to getting back to people. Gee, I need a major brain transplant. Lets pray that God will give me more braincells. Since I had kids, I cannot think!!! Oh well, Im an artist. What can you expect from a crazy painter?
I love the pictures on your page. its always cool to see more pictures , then I feel like I can get to know you more. I tell you you, and your friends are really cute! I dont mean to sound wierd, but all of you are soo pretty. I would kill for dark skin like yours and dark hair!! I have naturally dark hair, but not as dark as you, I have olive tone skin, but I tan all the time to get more color. I seriously love your culture and the joy you have. Like I said, send me some of those "good looking genes" and your joy in a Fed Ex box, ok?
Anyway, I pray all is well for you,your schooling and your friends and family. You are a precious child of the Almighty Father!! We are His and we are all under the shelter of His wings!! Praise Him!!
Love you,
Paige

Hello sis!!

Paige

hey candy its candy ......how sad no ones commenting you:(

CANDY, CHEER UP,GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE THE BEST... YOU'VE JUST GOT TO BELIEVE IT AND TRUST THE LORD JESUS TO BE YOUR LIFE SUPPORT.RAMONA

Dear Child you are probably a perfectionist and want to always do exceptionally well. Just do your best always... God does not expect more! Try to relax (meditation in Christ's word and music works well for me).Fond love Ramona

Hi Candy,

Thanks for stopping by. You can call me MaryAnn. I am 63 years young, and you are just 16. In heaven we'll all be ageless and timeless, I believe! so age doesn't really matter...I appreciate your friendship!

God has you on a path, which is HIS Way for you. It will become clear to you only by REVELATION. Keep in HIS Word!

Love ya dear sister in Christ!
MaryAnn

Hi Candy
I am thinking of you and wondering how you are. Hope just fine! SA is very unrestful at the moment and we need lots of prayer... Young soldiers like you (for Christ). Please join us in prayer.

Fond love in Christ
Ramona

Hi Candy,

You have a sweet name! And I just noticed that you are from India. That is so cool...Forgive me for not noticing sooner, so now I do understand why you may think it disrespectful to call me by my first name because of your cultural background.

Take heart, it is really 100% okay. We are sisters in Christ...besides in heaven, age will not matter, so let's live that truth now. Shall we?

There are so many cool moments I could share from my life. The most important is my gratefulness to Jesus Christ, for the amazing miracle He has done in my heart. In the past five years I have had a hunger to know Him more and to share His love with others.

So the coolest thing Jesus has done in my life is...He has put HIS Love in my heart for other people. I know that I don't yet love others as He does, but He is working this in me. I have His joy unspeakable that has been bubbling up inside me for the past five years, and I feel an urge to always encourage others and tell them how much God loves them.

That is a HUGE miracle, as before I knew Him, I thought mostly about myself. I am so grateful that Jesus broke down that wall, and revealed Himself to me. He is my best friend. He has given me beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61:3).

Thanks for asking. Now maybe you would like to share what is the coolest thing HE has done for you?

Love to you, sister Candy,
MaryAnn

Hi Candy
How are you my dearest friend? I ask everybody to pray for South Africa and the whole of Africa. People are burning other foreigners from Zimbabwe Maphutu and Nigeria (or anyone who comes from an African country) outside our own country (South Africa). They hurt women and children and kill people - burn their shops down, beat them up. They steal the goods from foreigners and sell or give it to people. Many people are being murdered unnecessary. Pray that God softens these peoples hearts so that we can all live in peace.

I love you and you sound really cute and kind. I would love for us to pray together for the whole world. Because LOVE and PRAYER can change the world. We cannot change people but GOD can.

Fond love in Jesus
Ramona (Your friend who loves you) and Jesus loves you too, FOR SURE!

HI CANDY
I JUST REALISED YOU ARE FROM INDIA. THAT IS REALLY COOL!!! I HAVE MANY INDIAN FRIENDS IN OUR COUNTRY AND WE HAVE QUITE A FEW INDIAN PEOPLE IN OUR CHURCH. WE JUST LOVER EACH OTHER. WE ALSO HAVE INDIAN FRIENDS IN HEIDELBERG (A LITTLE TOWN) AND WE ALWAYS HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR ONE ANOTHER.

COOL, YOUNG LADY! GOD BLESS AND HUGS AND KISSES FROM RAMONA

Hi Candy,
Just stopped by to say hello! Hope everything is well with you! Have a great day! God bless you more!!! :)

Hello, how are you today? May Christ shine in everything you do, with a prayer that you'll always be safe, not only today, but always.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES! YOU SOUND SO SWEET!

Hello Candy,

So nice to see your pictures. Thanks for stopping by and telling me your story. It's a great story about how you found God's love reading a book. (Do you mean the Bible...or another book?) Anyway, whichever book it was...that's just awesome! :) :)

May you have many more memorable times with the LORD. You belong to HIM. May HIS Love Joy and Peace be yours tonight.

Thanks again for sharing. Hope all is well with your studies.

The LORD be with you!
MaryAnn

Hey girl!!!
Its me!!! Dont die of shock or anything. I know I hardly come around anymore. Im a flake. Im a total loser. But hey, Im old and every year that I get older, I lose another 20 brain cells or, maybe more. Well, whose counting. Anyway, whatcha been up to? Your life is soo exciting. I have to count on you to put some excitement into my life. Isnt that a very SAD thing? Oh, I tell you,..Im sure glad God has mercy and grace for me. Im quite a lost soul.
So, Im doing good. I just keep pluggin along and trying to keep focused on Him. Taking care of my kids,painting,helping in childrens ministry, and family. Life is always busy, but not too exciting. So keep trying to catch me here on AAG. You are bound to catch me here fooling around. hee Hee.
Paige

Wow!!
I really like it! It sounds like you and I feel pretty much the same about the Lord. jesus really had to scrape me off the pavement to save me. I cant believe that God would want to save someone like me, but hes God and he doesnt wish that anyone should perish. I was really bad! really awfully sick!!! But Im here, Im alive and completely restored! Yay!!! Except Id still like my brain restored. I think God left that out on the pavement somewhere. Oh well. Im a mom. I dont need a brain.
Love you!!
Paige

Hi Candy,

I think Jesus will...and does...love your poem, cause it is given out of a pure heart. It's kind of cool too!

Thanks for sharing it on My Page. I praise God for all the new friends on AAG and for all the Gr8 days HE gives...each one different.

My hubby is doing fine. He had been having sciatica problems, but we discovered some herbs that are helping along with prayer. Today we are volunteering at Habitat for Humitanity Re-Store. It is a place where donations are received to build homes for the needy. Must run now. Have a Gr8 day urself.

Love, your sister in Christ,
MaryAnn

Hey there, Your picture changed! Miss your sweet face, but the drawing is nice. Is it something you sketched? Does it have a special meaning?

I am not very good at judging art! Have an awesome evening.

Love you,
MaryAnn
,

Hey there Candy, How are you. Thanks for your note. It is so great that you have such a sweet spirit and deep joy (the joy of Jesus) in your heart. It is so obvious!!! Hope everything is now good between you and your mom.

Stay in the Spirit, and keep your mind in captivity to the mind and the thoughts of Christ. Be satisfied with nothing less. Anything less will cause you to be virtually unproductive. (1 Peter 1:12-19).

My life verse is (Matthew 6:33) 'But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.'

You are a good artist, and a wonderful contributor in the Forums...and thanks for your prayers.

LUV YA BACK and I absolutely agree
JESUS ROCKS & RULES.

MaryAnn, a sister in Christ!

Hi ther Candy
Just short but very loving note to you. I am going to be away for five days. Will write again when back. In the meantime you take care and I pray the Lord will shower blessings upon you like rain! Fond love in Jesus
Ramona

Hi Candy,

Unfortunately people sometimes come onto the site with motives different than what we are trying to accomplish here. I Praise God that you have a strong Love for Jesus...and that He is your resting place. Hold onto Him and always keep Him in your sight. The teenage years can be really hard. But you are a lovely daughter of the King of all the Earth. You are a beautiful contribution to this site. God Bless, Carla

Hi Candy
I am back from the bush - had a small break. Glad to be back to be able to chat to my CHRIST FOLLOWER FRIENDS. yOU STAY WELL AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

I LOVE YOU. CAN I GIVE YOU A BIG HUG FROM A DISTANCE AND PRAY THAT GOD WILL KEEP YOU IN HIS CARE.

FOND LOVE IN JESUS
YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST

MaryAnn

Hey there Candy, thanks for your good wishes. It's great hearing from you. Have a blessed day in the Lord Jesus! The fruit of the Spirit is not an option, it is God's expectancy.

FOR I, THE LORD YOUR GOD, WILL HOLD YOUR RIGHT
HAND, SAYING TO YOU, "FEAR NOT, I WILL HELP
YOU."
( ISAIAH 41:13 *NKJV )
We often face troubling times in our lives that
cause us to worry, and lose sleep. As a child of God you
have Him at your side, holding your hand, and guiding
your pathway through those times. For, THE LORD IS
GOOD, A STRONGHOLD IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE;
AND HE KNOWS THOSE WHO TRUST IN HIM.
( NAHUM 1:7 )
He will never abandon HIS Children, throughout
their entire lives. For He is always with us no matter
what we may face, as He further promised: WHEN YOU
PASS THROUGH THE WATERS, I WILL BE WITH YOU;
AND THROUGH THE RIVERS,* THEY SHALL NOT
OVERFLOW YOU. WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE
FIRE,* YOU SHALL NOT BE BURNED, NOR SHALL
THE FLAME SCORCH YOU. ( ISAIAH 43:2 )
[*Rivers and *Fire in the verse represent difficulties in our
lives]
Therefore, FEAR NOT, FOR I AM WITH YOU; BE NOT
DISMAYED, FOR I AM YOUR GOD. I WILL
STRENGTHEN YOU, YES, I WILL HELP YOU, I WILL
UPHOLD YOU WITH MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND.
( ISAIAH 41:10 )
So the next time you face troubling times, do as Jesus
said: "LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED; YOU
BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME." (JOHN 14:1)
Then WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, YOU WILL NOT BE
AFRAID; YES, YOU WILL LIE DOWN AND YOUR
SLEEP WILL BE SWEET. ( PROVERBS 3:24 )
Now have a great day walking hand and hand with God,
friend! Amen.

RAMONA P.

oiyo they wont join bum. u ask them n see

I asked God…

I asked God to take away my pain
God said, No
-it is not for me to take away,
But for you to give up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole
God said, No
-Her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience
God said, No
-patience is a by-product of tribulations,
It isn’t granted, it is earned.
I asked God to give me happiness
God said, No
-I give you blessings, happiness is up to you.
I asked God to make my spirit grow
God said, No
-you must grow on your own
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life
God said, No
-I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things
I asked God to helped me LOVE others,
as much as He loves me
God said…..
Ahhh, finally you have the idea.

God loves You!
