“That's right. Jesus is our friend. He's totally awesome.
Each one of us was SOOOOO messed up before, and God didn't care! He still
accepted us for who we are! Nobody else did but God did. Nobody loves us like
he does! Check out Cage!
She was saved in her nest
while her Mom w
as
still feeding her worms. Yuck! Talk about gross?!? Yet she was still
hungry. You know she was dissatisfied. I mean, who wouldn't be:
EATING WORMS. She just felt there had to be more to this Jesus stuff than just
nightcrawlers and grubs. And, look at Simon, he was really,
totally, radically, ultimately changed. He was into drugs, living on the
street, hurting people, and wow. His life was turned around 180 degrees. Until
one day Jesus got a hold of him. Finally Simon began to get the
point that he couldn't do it on his own.”
“Hey, Watch it. I got feelings too. Yeah, and Jesus sure
has changed me. It wasn't my call to keep on with getting to know him. You can
blame
Allie and Cage for that. It was their
desire to know more of Jesus. I began seekin to know Jesus too. Well,
He showed up. Wow. Talk about cool. Praying for Jesus, and then THERE HE
IS! Hey, it hasn't been all easy-cheesy. It's been really tough. I hate
being on God's big old potters wheel. You know when the Holy Spirit pulls and tugs,
and uses the knife to shape us into what he wants us to be... it hurts. I mean
BAD.”
“Yeah, but check out how cool you are now. I
mean Wow! Simon, the Holy Spirit
really got a hold of you. Look how different you are now compared to what you
used to be. I mean sometimes I don't even recognize you.”
“Yeah
Allie, even I will admit
that I don't know who he is sometimes. God really got a hold of all of us, and
kicked the Hell out of us. LITERALLY! Hey, Chopper, you know it all
started when we got serious with God. When we decided to seek him out.”
“Ain't
that the truth. Now we spend a lot of our time telling our friends and even
people that hate us. It doesn't matter who you are, or where you come from...
It's all about Jesus. Jesus is our friend. OH! Chopper! Tell them
about Deke!”
“Yeah Allie, I'm glad we decided
to begin seeking God. It's rad too, because it's not like we even had to go too
far.
He is
HUGE, and He's my true friend.
I've never had a true friend before. I like being called God's friend. It's the
coolest thing in the world. And yeah, then there is Deke. He really needs God. Deke harasses
us all the time, but we still love him. Jesus loves him, and we are going to
pray for him until he gets Jesus in his heart.”
“Huh? are you guys talking about me again? Hello? Hey! What's going on?
HEY!”

We come expecting great and mighty things.
Though we don’t know what we will find, we can’t help wondering. The
Salvage Yard believes God has great things in store for those who are willing
to seek him and take the time to seek him out. This website is dedicated to those who truly
want to join us in this adventure. As time passes and we grow, we ask that you
allow us to share in your experiences with God by encouraging you to not only
take advantage and learn from our website, but also share your experiences with
others.
The Salvage Yard has developed the following web pages to help you both
celebrate what God is doing in other's lives, but also to share what God is
doing in your life:
Ultimate Chat Room
- While the Salvage Yard recognizes that the ULTIMATE CHAT ROOM is prayer with
our Lord, we recognize that sharing insights, concerns and helpful suggestions
will help us to grow in Christ.
God Happenings
- The Salvage Yard is setting up a website to share our experience of
seeking the Lord. The Salvage Yard's
prayer would be that as you seek the Lord that you would share your experiences
with us. This information will then be made available for others for
encouragement on our God Happenings page.
Events Calendar
- The Salvage Yard believes that it is important for the body of Christ to come
together working in the harvest fields. We have developed an events
calendar to provide you with information about what events God has planned for
your community. We believe by publishing the events and coming together across
the body of Christ, we glorify God.
