Opportunities. They come and go throughout our lives. Some people call their missed opportunities regrets. Others...blessings. Some opportunities never bare regret to anyone. Well, life is changing for me. I was accepted to ITT Tech last week. Today, I got a letter of acceptance from Montana State University. I have opportunities before me. I feel blessed to have options...now I have to choose. LOL. That's the hard part.
I do know that God has a plan for me. A great one, in fact. God has a glorious plan for all of us! I have faith that he will open the correct door for me.
Have a blessed day!! God Bless You All and Keep You Safe!!
Love,
Ashley

This week I'll be working, packing (& shopping) for my trip next week to Denver, and getting ready to have fun next weekend as it is our annual family reunion!!! Whew...i'm a busy girl! LOL. Maybe things will slow down a bit when I return from vacation. Who knows?! Life can be chaotic but it can also be a lot of fun! Life is just what you make it. It comes through the choices you make. So, to all who is reading this (if anyone, lol)have fun, live a fulfilled life like each day is a precious gift, be aware of the choices you make and rely on God for everything,for he will guide you through. You only get one go around so have fun. Make your life worthwile. Live for God.
Sorry I'm cutting this kinda short. I'm signing off for the moment. Just Remember that I love you and MOST IMPORTANTLY SO DOES GOD! Let Him walk this long, hard road with you and believe and trust Him in everything along the way because the destination is soooo much sweeter and way worth it! God Bless You Always!
Love,
Ashley
Wow....sorry I have not updated in awhile. Goodness gracious where do I start...so much has happened since then. The biggest thing was my pappa (grandpa) was put back in the hospital in March. Umm...he had been sick for over a year. On April 8th of this year he passed away. So, I was busy helping to take care of arrangements and such. Really it hit all of us hard. My pappa has always been there and now he isn't. I don't believe it has totally sunk in yet. Maybe it never will.
2 weeks later I went to prom with a bunch of friends and we had a blast! It helped to get out and just have fun...ya know? Everything that night was just about as perfect as can be...lol.
Anyways, I've been very busy w/ school and work...and now just work since I'm out for the summer! I haven't written much of anything...I have a lot of ideas and inspirations though and I will sit down and write starting this week. Teenlight Mag...I'm coming back!!!! Sorry for my slight absence.
God Be with everyone who reads this!
Love ya'll,
Ashley
Not much going on here. I have been busy with school and work and I haven't gotten much time to write...which is a bummer. Anywho, school is closed tomorrow and friday due to flu, pneumonia, and stomach virus. More than half our high school and school district has been out so school is cancelled. So, I'll be sitting down to write some! Yay! I've not been on Teenlight in awhile...I hope they haven't forgotten about me. I miss them so much!
In other news...

It's that wonderful, feel good time of year again, isn't it great? I think so. There's cookies, cakes and pies filling the house with delightful yummy smells and a warm fire in the living room with the tree off to the side displaying it's lights and presents beneath with a joyful splendor, Christmas tunes on every radio and Christmas movies on every channel. It's wonderful, right? Right. BUT, thats not what Christmas is all about anyway. Christmas is the celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ's birthday that took place so long ago in Bethlehem. Let us not forget that he after all is THE REASON FOR THE SEASON! We ALL tend to forget in the hustle and bustle of shopping for gifts and last minute grocery shopping. Here's a HOLIDAY TIP: WAL-MART IS EXCEPTIONALLY CRAZY THE WEEK OF CHRISTMAS! LOL! See...we all get off course. Ya'll know what I'm talking about. Let's get back on track shall we...God sent his only son to pay the ultimate price: death, to save us. He was born to a virgin and was born in a barn but HE is the KING OF KINGS and its his birthday. The story of his birth is wonderous and is a blessing to all of us. So, this evening make some time to read the story of his birth in the good book of Luke chapter 2. HE'S THE REASON FOR THE SEASON! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!
YOU ALL HAVE A VERY MERRY AND SAFE CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! GOD BLESS AND BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS!

My first week is over...and it wasn't too bad. It was a long week but I'll tell ya school gets easier and work didn't get in the way either. YAY! LOL! Speaking of work, I'm extremely blessed to get to meet new people daily and to build friendships with them. You know I've worked there for a week now and people go in and out and I talk with them and they come back and it's like I've known them forever. It is so great to meet people like that...friendly people. It's cool! *smiles*
I haven't been stressed out or anything...which is super-great! I give myself and my problems to God and he guides me through my day! God is soooo GOOD! He continues to bless me through my friends and the people I work with and get to meet. I know for a fact that I'm blessed to be apart of TEENLIGHT! I've made awesome friends and I don't know where I'd be without them. I've learned and am learning so much from each and every one of them. They truly are a blessing to me!
God Bless ALL who read this! Remember that God loves you and he will never leave you. He's always there for you and wants you to call upon him and make him apart of your life. Seek him! He's a loving and awesome God!
I love ya'll and so does our Heavenly Father! *smiles*
Time for a new chapter. My life is beginning again...summer has come to a pass. School starts tomorrow(I'm a junior). Yet it is only two hours it is the beginning of another year filled with memories, regrets, confusions, the little dramas of high school and an entire ten months of getting up at six thirty in the morning. LOL.
I also got a job on Wednesday. I started today and if I do say so myself...I'm catching on rather quickly. YAY! LOL. The people are great and super friendly! It's great for afterschool. I just hope I have enough time for everything that needs to be done. Like homework and sleep. I'd hate to give this job up it is sooo much fun. Pray that I can keep up with everything and maintain my good grades. That is very important. =) I'm stressing a little which I promised not to do. LOL. I'm assuming the worst of the future of this year and I need to have a positive outlook on the whole thing. I'm happy with my new job...my first job. It feels like I'm more independent. Ya know? Please keep me in your prayers. I'd greatly appreciate it! =)
My spiritual life is doing good. I think I'm coming out of my winter little by little. God is opening a lot of doors for me recently and I keep stepping right through them. I'm letting him guide me. I'm just praying he helps me this year with school and a job. Ok....I need to stop doing that...can't stress...can't worry. It's in God's hands and I need to trust HIM! He will see me through if I just trust him.
Again, please pray for me. =)
My time is up this evening but I will write back soon. God Bless Everyone that is reading this! Remember that God loves you and he will never leave you. He's always there for you and wants you to call upon him and make him apart of your life. He's a loving and awesome God! Love ya'll! =)

Life is pretty normal. I'm just stressing...which I shouldn't be at all. I really have got to learn to give my problems to God. I can't handle everything by myself. I'm finally realizing that I can overload...when I should be unloading and asking God for help in the things that are too big to conquer or when I have too much on my plate already.
I'm a writer. That's how I get out frustrations and how I express myself. It's a form of art. Though, for the past few months I have had nothing. No inspiration. I have frustrations but no inspiration to write devotionals or articles or anything for that matter. Though, that's not what's bothering me. What's bothering me is that I feel God and I know He's with me always but I'm confused. I'm confused because I don't know what He wants me to do. Don't get me wrong I'm not doubting Him and I'm not turning away from Him. I love Him and I'd never leave Him. I need Him and I have Him. I'm just not sure what He wants me to do. He gives me inspiration and shows me the way. He's still showing me the way but I don't know to where. Do I make sense? Maybe to some. I know at least one person who knows what I'm going through. She calls it my "winter" in my relationship with God. I never thought about it that way. It's an odd feeling. Not empty..not full. Just weird. It is so hard to explain unless you've been through it. I will come out of it. I believe God is trying to tell me something. Teach me a lesson. I think that lesson is to depend on Him more. Call on Him and give my problems to Him and to trust Him to guide me and to ...well...to just trust Him in all things. I'm a christian teen. One..I'm a christian and God never said it would be easy for any of us but we are rewarded in the long run. We get eternal life with Him. Second...I'm a teenager. LOL...enough said. It's hard anyway.
Dear Lord,
Please be with me and guide me along. Help me to understand what YOU need and want me to do. I am here. I am ready. I am yours. Mold me and make me more like YOU. Help me to trust YOU more and to give my all to YOU. Help me out of this winter. I want and need to shine for YOU. Show me and guide me down the path that You have chosen for me. In your most precious heavenly name I pray. Amen.
