Oh my goodness! Sorry I haven’t updated in a while, I was very busy. So far there are almost no words that can describe what’s been going on in my life. The only one I can think of is, Godly. It’s all Him, the one who loves me the most. Oh, he IS such an awesome, amazing, fabulous, loving, dedicated, gracious, merciful, and forgiving God. So many things have happened; I don’t know how to say everything.
We were told about ESOAL again and I’m a little apprehensive, but excited. I had to ask my mom for a few things that could get trashed (because of the things that we do during it). It feels like we’ve been here for a few months already so ESOAL seems so close (and yet so far), but in reality it’s only been a few days.
I’ve made lots of new friends and am so happy to know them. Some of my new friends are in the School of Worship with me (that’s a special part of the HA for musicians). I can’t wait to start learning how to play the electric bass! This is going to be fun and challenging at the same time.
Today I will be moving cores (that’s the family of rooms that meet together) and rooms, and that makes me very sad. I love the ladies in my current core and will miss sharing the bathroom with them! Last night was the “Commitment Banquet” which signaled the end of our first week and Gauntlet. I've heard things won’t be slowing down much after the move so I still won’t have much time to get on every day.
The other night! Oh my goodness! The other night we had a massive baptism service! I was soooooooooo amazing. I got baptised again (or really: for the first time) and we all worshiped and cheered and danced to be free from Satan's temptations! Oh! What a night, I'll remember forever August 20, 2009. Just like I'll never forget January 29, 2003 (that's when I got saved by Jesus).
So today We got our new cores and room assignments. I didn't move!!!! I'm so happy. But, other girls from my core did and I will miss seeing them in the bathroom everyday. I'm excited about the new girls so I'll have more Godly friends and more sisters in Christ! I can't wait to get to know them more closely and intimately than my Gauntlet core.
It's been very hectic and frustrating moving people around the campus but once it settles down we can all sleep a little sounder... not really. We wont slow down at all. But this year is going to be so amazing!! I can't wait to find out what Gods has planed for me this year.

Oh Ashley, I am so excited for you. Deep in my soul I so often "feel" that we are so ignorant of God, what he is, what he does for us and others and especially how much he loves us. When "good" things happen to us we thank God and feel blessed. When "bad" stuff goes on we feel all down and pray for deliverance so we can go with our happy little self willed lives. God however promises that in this life we will have trials and tribulations and to count them all joy. Those are the times when he is taking us by the hand and saying, here is a lesson that will make you more like Christ once you have surrendered to me.
ReplyDeleteI used to wonder what made David a man after God's own heart and I think it is that David went to God with the smallest things. Should I go up or should I go down, he would ask God.
I just go never even giving God a thought. (I've asked God to change that in me.)
Well enough of my preaching. I am so very happy for you and your fellow students.
Congrats on your baptism, how very wonderful for you.
All is well on Pinecliff. Your Dad was able to get un-stick your car doors. Your kitty said to tell you Meowwwses you.(?????)
