Busy as a bee.

Ahh...life is just busy. I'm sure I speak for everyone.

I had my last football game today. Last time to twirl my dearly, beloved flag. No more 98-100 degree marching practices. No more dancing in the stands. No more nasty pom-poms. Do I miss it, you might ask? Right at this very moment...not in the least bit. I'm sure I'll look back in a few years and think man, those were great times. However, I do believe I've served my time on the marching field. 13 years. Wow. Good times.

Let's see. God's been dealing with me a lot here lately. I've realized just how small my faith is actually. I guess you could say I'm just struggling with some things right now. Two things really.

1. My major

2. Summer Missions

I know God is in control, and that's what keeps me sane. :) He has a plan. I'll just keep praying. and patiently waiting.

On a more positive note. I'm beyond blessed. I seem to realize that more and more every single day.

LOVE this little lady right here. She'll be 14 in a few months. I can hardly believe it.

Until next time.

Love God. Love people.

sweet, sweet october.

Fall. :) I absolutely, positively love this time of year. Leaves are changing colors, and OH the beauty of the sunsets and starry nights. I'm taken in back in awe by the beauty of my creator. I can't even begin to understand how people can look at all of His creation and not believe. They are missing out on the beauty of life. This weekend was our BSU campout. We had around 50-60 people there. (praise Him!) We had a great time. Good Christian fun. Lots of hotdogs and smores. Not to mention the loads of caffeine. I think we made our way to our tents around 3:30 am. But even then you could hear the small talk amongst the bunch. I caught myself several times through the night just staring off into the fire. For one, I'm mesmerized by fire, and two I was just thinking about how blessed I am. Blessed to be alive. Blessed to have such amazing friends. Godly friends. Blessed to have a family who loves me unconditionally. My mama tells me all the time, "Ash, you're having the time of your life right now." I do believe she's right; As she usually is :) We're out for Fall Break this Monday and Tuesday. Joy. Excitement.

More pictures, of course.

Our mentor group. Precious girls.

Until next time.

Love God, love people.

New, yes, new.

So. I'm new to this whole blog thing. But I must say, I'm pretty excited about it. Here goes....This week is going wonderfully. God in all His majesty is blessing me in ways I never thought possible. But then again, He always does. :) I'm growing to love Him more and more each and every single day. This school year has gotten off to a great start. BSU is up and BOOMING. We're going camping this weekend...and we have 75 people signed up. WOW, I say! 75 students at a tiny campsite in Iuka=a load of loud, hotdog, marshmellow, Jesus loving fun! I'm excited to say the least.

Here's some pictures from August until now.
