Happy Anniversary

My team at training camp. Oh the things we didn't know

Five years ago today my life changed.

Five years ago today I started my journey to Swaziland.

Five years ago today I unknowingly walked away from a old me, a old life and started a new one.

Five years ago today I met my team which would soon become family.

Five years ago today I didn't know it but I started a journey to figuring out who I am.

Five years ago today everything changed.

BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!

Five years ago today my life was changing and I didn't even know. I didn't know that the next three months I would experience so much joy and pain. I didn't know that I would fall in love with Swazi, or that the Lord would welcome me home when I stepped off the plane onto African soil. There was so much I didn't know, but I am thankful for that because honestly I don't think I would have gone if I had the same knowledge I have now.

This is a day I celebrate and remember all that God has done and will do. This is a day I am thankful for, because on this day five years I got to know a God who moves, a God who heals, and a God who calls me beloved.

The start of the most ridiculous travel day ever...

I am writting this today so that you can celebrate with me. I also want to encourage you to remember and celebrate milestones or life changing moments. We remember birthdays and anniversarsies with earthly people so don't forget the spiritual ones either, they are important too. It doesn't have to look like mine, I know a girl who has a anniversary with the Lord which is the day they started dating. Its between you and God but its good to remember these things so that during all times in life, the good and the bad you have a specific time to look back on and remember who the Lord is. Today I remember my journey and I celebrate all God has done with me.

A true representation of our team. Crazy.

Precious babies, I love you more than you know.

So happy Anniversary Jesus, Happy Anniversary Swazi team. I am blessed to know you and to have gotten to spend three months of my life with you. You will be with me for life.

Love you
Ashley
