Ariana’s Story: From a Broken Beginning to a Held Heart
How God Found a Little Girl Lost in the Storm
Some stories start quiet.
’s didn’t. Her life opened with sharp edges and unexpected turns, the kind of beginning that makes people pause and say, “Wait… what happened?” But somehow, through all the chaos, there was this steady thread woven through her days—a thread she didn’t recognize at first. Looking back now, it’s clear: God was there long before she ever knew His name.This is her story.

A Hard Beginning
Ariana’s life started in the middle of a storm she never asked for. She was born into an unequally yoked family—two people moving in completely different directions, pulling her world apart before she even understood what stability was. When she was very young, her birth mom kidnapped her. The months that followed were filled with abuse, neglect, and fear no child should ever have to hold in their memory.
For nine long months, Ariana was hidden away… until her dad finally found her.
The Search for Stability
Once she was back home, everything shifted. Her dad realized something important: Ariana needed safe, trustworthy people around her—especially women. She had spent so much time surrounded mostly by men, and the girl she believed was her sister turned out to be a kidnapped child as well. Losing her again added confusion and heartbreak to an already heavy story.
So her dad tried something different.
He signed her up for dance class.
Finding Joy Through Dance and Theater
The moment Ariana stepped into dance, something came alive. Music settled into her bones. Movement felt natural. Seeing her joy, her dad wondered if she might like musical theater too.
She didn’t just like it—she loved it.
It was as if God took the brokenness of her early childhood and breathed rhythm, color, and light into it. Dance and theater became places of healing—little glimpses of beauty in a world that hadn’t always been kind to her.
The Day She Met Jesus
Then came VBS—Vacation Bible School. To Ariana, it started out as another fun activity: songs, crafts, snacks. But something deeper was happening inside her without her even realizing it.
One day, when her dad came to pick her up, Ariana walked straight to him—and to one of the leaders—and said she wanted God to be part of her life.
No pressure. No script. Just a child’s honest decision.
And she meant it.
A Walk With God That Hasn’t Been Boring
Ariana’s journey with God from that day forward hasn’t been smooth or predictable. If anything, it’s been wild—full of unexpected turns and challenges only God could carry her through. He made Himself known to her in ways she never expected, especially through her medical story.
Facing Epilepsy With Faith
At just seven years old, Ariana began dealing with epilepsy. While other kids were choosing crayon colors, she was learning to trust God with seizures, fear, and uncertainty.
But she never hid it.
She talked about it openly. She didnt want pity. She just genuinely saw God’s hand in it all.
He protected her from greater harm more times than she can count.
He walked with her through hard days.
He taught her patience, trust, and the real power of prayer.
Hospital rooms became reminders that He was near. Doctor visits became moments to see His care. Quiet nights turned into lessons that He never left.
Seeing God in Every Chapter
Every part of Ariana’s story—her childhood, her healing, her epilepsy, her faith—has been another way God has shown His love. Again and again, He has revealed His presence, His protection, and His purpose for her life.
Her story isn’t tidy. It isn’t perfect. But it’s held together by grace from the very beginning.
And God isn’t done writing it yet.
