Goodbye 2025!

Goodbye 2025!

“Do not remember the former things,

Nor consider the things of old.

Behold, I will do a new thing,

Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it?

I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”

Isaiah 43:18-19

What’s up beautiful people! Thank you all for joining me for another update on “What is God doing in Ariana’s life?” I think I can hear an amen come from all of you when I say “God is good!” So, I really want to show off the goodness of God these past few months and what He’s been doing, as well as some real things that’s happened.

Before MTS (Missions Training School) started I was able to really spend time with the Lord and rest. I asked myself daily “How can I serve You?” I quickly learned that wasn’t the question the Lord wanted to answer, instead, I should’ve asked “How can I rest in your presence?”

September…

I took the time to seek the Lord outside my comfort zone by going to the beach and just sitting or reading or eating dinner by myself.
I also went on a hike with my friends (and hope to do more this new year).

Evangelizing at the college continues!

Also, an awesome opportunity to learn about what to do in case of an emergency were to happen in my community (CERT) opened up! I thought it was so fun and a good refresher on CPR, Stop The Bleed, and the importance of having equipment ready for an emergency.
October…

For months I’ve been praying about if the Lord was leading me to serve in another ministry. I love teaching and guiding the younger generation, it’s been heavy on my heart to love and pour into these kids. I’ve always worked with kids between the ages of 3 months- 12 years old. So again, I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and serve in Jr. High/ High school ministry! I really wanted this to be from the Lord so I just prayed for an open door and waited. Later, I was invited to help out! I transitioned out of safety ministry and out of life groups and into High School ministry.

Above, is Judah teaching about the Sermon on the mount on Wednesday night.
Later that month, I was blessed with an opportunity to go back home (Las Vegas) I visited my family, but I must mention my childhood best friend, she got married! Wow wow wow I’m so beyond proud of her. I was one of her bridesmaid! Of course I’m going to mention Halloween! Like last year, we handed out gospel tracts, shared the love of Jesus and wonderful time of fellowship.

November…

In class we picked up the pace and started teaching! We teach every Wednesday for 15 mins, it’s important that we have notes and a slideshow. However, the most important part, is what the Lord wants to teach through you. This year I can definitely see a huge difference with the way that I study and preach. Little victories like finally finding a groove is so encouraging. (2nd year students are currently teaching 2 Timothy)
Being involved with Love Life has been so heartbreaking and eye watering all at the same time! Don’t get me wrong I love to see lives being changed, I love speaking up for those who have no voice. It’s heartbreaking though, to see the reality of sin, to have it straight in your face, seeing the statistics that hundreds of babies are being murdered for the sake of “a better life.”

At the end of the month, I went back home to spend Thanksgiving with my family. It was nice to see my cousins, nieces and nephews. The highlight of that trip was definitely being able to take my nieces and nephew to church! They love coming with me and I love taking them to learn about Jesus! Praise God I have the honor of being apart of the family at CCGV (Calvary Chapel Green Valley) Iv’e seen lots of my friends struggle being a part of a church back at home, so to my family at CCGV Thank you!

December…

In the beginning of the month CCP (Calvary Chapel Pedregales) and our church hosted a shoebox outreach! Over 100 kids received a gift from someone who graciously donated clothes, toys, games, toiletry etc. I served along side Serena doing worship for the kids and Micah who brought the gospel. It was such an honor and privilege to see so many kids raise their hands to put their faith in Jesus.
Coming back from Mexico, the WOW (Women Of Wisdom) ladies treated us to festive get together where we ate, played games, and shared our prayer requests. (I LOVE THEM SO MUCH)

The next few days we did a Women’s event, Family Christmas Night (or is it Christmas Family Night?), Young Adults party, and celebrated my roomies birthday!!
Again, I was able to come home for the holidays and see even more of my family. The picture in the middle right side is all my blood related siblings, (I have 2 step siblings) we haven’t taken a picture where we are all here in years! This was a huge blessing, plus, my grandma and grandpa (from dad’s side) were able to spend Christmas with us!

The highlight of that trip was definitely witnessing my brother rededicate his life to Jesus. (Please pray against the spiritual warfare)

Prayer Request…

Continue to pray for my unsaved family salvation. Pray that they would reap the fruit of righteousness.

Pray for those moms and dads who are thinking of abortion. Pray for the babies, the workers, the facilities etc
Pray the Lord would provide next steps for a vision tour!
Pray for a new job/ second job

With all that being shared, 2025 has come to an end. All the good and joyous moments to the sad and depressing times. 2025, all I have to say to you is BYE. Hello 2026! This year I look forward to the new things the Lord is leading me to. I thank you again for taking the time to read or listen to my newsletter. I pray you all have a blessed 2026 and I hope I can be a part of it!

Love,

Ariana
