Aune's Adventures

Josh and part of his heritage, the Mexican Man... Josh, Ez, Jojo and Judah making the gingerbread house... Josh, Jojo and Judah...look mom what we did.... Josh, Jojo and Judah...hey wait a second you can't eat it yet...its for decorations right now... I had to run a few jobs for the banks on Saturday so Ezra and the boys wasted no time at all. He made sure Josh finished his heritage doll for his school project that was due on Monday. Then he had the boys help him make the gingerbread house. Usually just Josh and Ez make it together but this time he let the twins help them. I snapped a picture of them before I left and it was so cute to watch them tell me that they were making the house. When I returned from running my jobs, Ezra had given them all haircuts and they were pointing at the gingerbread house and were so proud of it. The boys all wanted a bite of the gingerbread house but I said, they had to wait! One of them opened up his mouth to take a bite out of it and then they

Happy Jojo, my joy! With Thanksgiving starting tomorrow, I thought I would blog about some of the things I'm thankful for. 1. I'm thankful for Jesus, my Lord and Savior. 2. I'm thankful for the Blood of Jesus that covers my sins. 3. I'm thankful for Repentance, when I do sin I can ask for forgiveness and He truly does forgive and cleanses me. 4. I'm thankful for the the Holy Ghost that guides me and leads me into all Truth. 5. I'm thankful for hope, faith, and love. 6. I'm thankful to be called the Bride of Christ. 7. I'm thankful to be in the body of Christ. 8. I'm thankful for for the Word of God. 9. I'm thankful for the miracles that I was able to witness this past year. 10. I'm thankful for Upper Room Pentecostal Church of Bonita, and the beautiful saints! 11. I'm thankful for the ones that the Lord filled with His Spirit in Bonita and continues to fill. 12.

Marines worshipping the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! I was privileged to go to the Marine Depot this past weekend with Ezra! He has been asking me to go for some time now but trying to get everyone ready for the service would be quite challenging. So with the twins out of town, I had no excuses. I was so glad I went. These Marines sure know how to worship. It was so beautiful to see them raise their hands and shout to the Lord. I'm not sure how many of them were filled with the Holy Ghost, but I will get the number and post it later. The best part of the service for me was watching them just flood the altar with out anyone inviting them down or begging them to fill it. And boy did they go after it once they got down there. I saw Ezra praying for one young Marine and he was shaking like a leaf. It was so awesome to witness many more being touched in that same manner. I wanted to take pictures so bad of the altar call but Ezra asked me not to because he didn't want to distur

Mom is here to take the twins back home with her because they are having grand kid withdrawals. Josiah and Judah have told her since she got here that they are ready to go to her house. I'm so thankful for these withdrawals that they have because it gives me a little break and I get to spend more time with my baby doll and my Joshie too. The boys are so demanding I feel sorry for Josh sometimes, but I must say he has adjusted better than I thought he would. What would we do without grandparents? I can remember the times grandma would call at midnight and say get ready because we're going to the bay area, I'll be there in 5 minutes. I enjoyed those times with just me and grandma Irene. She was always fun to be around and boy she would take me back in time. She would tell me how she met my grandpa, then about his murder and how hard she worked as a widow. She would go on to tell me about her second marriage and talk about the love of her life. We made so many wonderful memori

Three men received the Holy Ghost this morning! One of them has been raised in church all his life but never received it and I believe he is in his early twenties now. God filled him and two others with His Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues!!! Thank you Jesus! No greater life than the one we live!

Jesus loves the little children...worshipping during song service.... Holy Ghost broke out during song service....totally awesome... Micheal praying for Avery and other children...altar was jam packed with children... Ava loving Jesus..... Don't want to leave out the teenagers.... Holy Ghost even splashed out over to the moms....AMAZING GRACE! The Holy Ghost Crusade held at Upper Room Imperial Beach was so WONDERFUL! 10 children were baptized with the Holy Ghost. A mother who was watching her children receive it got so moved threw her hands up and the Lord filled her too! It was wonderful to see the children just break out into worship during the song service. The presence of the Lord was certainly in the house and the children created such an atmosphere of praise during song service that after Bro. Rivera preached they flooded the altar again and the Lord just began to pour His Spirit out to all who were hungry. It was such a beautiful site to see. Children's ministry is

Looking pretty good...almost done... Look what my dad did! Perfection! Last week Ezra got a wild hair and decided to tile the top of our kitchen table. So off he went to the store to by some product. He's never tiled before so I thought this would be interesting. When he finished I was impressed. So here is the finish product. Good job, Ez! I so proud of you babe!
