Blessed

HEY TEAM!!!!

Well i am officially finished classes for my first year!!! It's exciting I know! So now what... well this weekend has and will be spent in much studying to prepare for my exams and on Sunday night i will be speaking briefly at Westside Kings Church, just explaining what i will be doing in India and seeing if i will be able to raise some money so that i will be able to leave in May. 

Also good news, the Lord has truly blessed me with some amazing friends, these last couple of days i have had a few amazing people who have decided that God has called them to give. This is obviously a huge blessing and i can't even express how blessed i feel about them deciding to give, to give you an idea i actually cried. But if those people are reading this then i want them to know i am so thankful towards them and that i will be praying that God blesses them. 

So that's just a really quick update. Thank you all for your prayers

Love Ashley

Deadline for Fundraising

Okay so I suck at updating this blog about stuff. I always complain about how people never update their blogs, and i always said I would never do this but sadly i have made myself a hypocrite. 

Anyways update on fundraising, well its going terribly but i am trusting God to know what I am supposed to be doing. This means that sadly if i don't raise the money i will accept that I heard God wrong and I am not supposed to go to India. I'm not going to lie it's going to be really hard accepting the fact that i am not supposed to go, this whole trip seemed like a dream. I was going to be able to just hang out with beautiful children, and hang out with an amazing friend who  i met in Africa, i was going to be able to go to a new place that i had never been before. That means i would have been able to try to learn another new language, and a new way of life. These are things that i love doing, but seriously i am going to work very hard at accepting this with joy in my heart. I know that if i am called to stay home God has a plan for this, I don't have any idea what it will be but i do know it will be good, because God is good. 

Sorry if this seems like I am ranting or complaining, that was not my intention i was just trying to express how i am feeling.  I know that God has good things planned for me, I just hate being in the in between times. So thank you for all your prayers and if you would still like to donate to my mission to India my deadline is not until Sunday night. This means that if i raise enough by then i will still be able to go. I know that God is a big God and he is totally capable of bringing in all my funds in such a short amount of time, so again if you feel like he is urging you to give, please give. 

Anyways my prayers are with you.

Well i thought that i hadn't updated this in a while, i would right about my support raising. So...well it is not going as well as i would have hoped. I know that these are tough times for people financially, but i also know that God will provide in his own time. 

Prayer requests for the week...

I am finishing up my first year of college and things are pretty crazy at the moment, so i would appreciate if you could pray that i would continue in good health, and that i would be able to finish up all of my assignments for the end of the semester.

Pray that i would continue to have faith that God will provide the funding i need in to order to serve in India in May. 

Thank you for your prayers and support.
