The Up and Coming

Oh my goodness. This place is everything I thought it was going to be and then some extra!! I can't wait for ESOAL (emotional stretching opportunity of a lifetime). I've seen a few videos on it and heard some stories but I will make it to the end and finish!! Many people don't finish this hard and exhausting challenge, but everyone learns something from there experience.
I have to say that I am sore and bruised and tired and so filled with joy. God has something amazing planed for me this year and I can't wait to find out what it is! Today, I am so proud of myself, I jogged a whole mile (at least i think it was a mile). But I didn't do it alone, I had my core (the "family" i have while I'm here), even though they may be temporary, with me the whole way and God lent me his strength. Or else I wouldn't have been able to do that.
I love my core and my CA and just all the God fearing friends I've made so far these few short (but so long) days. Orange block has just only started and gauntlet is almost over and ESOAL is creeping up fast and the Lord almighty is speaking to me every day. This year is going to be so amazing!

  1. Wow, it's hard for me to believe that you've grown up so quickly. I will miss you a lot, actually I already miss you and your great smile. Sarah and I got all misty eyed last friday when she told me you were on your way to college. I know your family misses you, not to mention your kitty.
    I am so very proud of you Ashley. I know you will succeed (huh spelling?) cause you've done great at everything else you have done so far. You are in my prayers.
    God bless you.
    Ms. Inge
