ashley's life on earth

I use this to share what the Lord is doing here on earth for His Glory in my life. "Life on earth is not about life on earth."

It is true...

Morning Star Chapel at Camp John Marc
My favorite place to pray
Isaiah 42:16
"I will lead the blind by a way they do not know,
In paths they do not know I will guide them
I will make darkness into light before them
And rugged places into plains
These are the things I will do,
And I will not leave them undone."

I don't know if I have ever used this verse in previous posts, but it has been the verse of this summer by far.

I have graduated from Texas A&M University as of one week ago. I am officially a former student. I must admit that it was not as exciting as I thought it would be. I think that my mind left College Station back in May when I was headed out for the internship. It was a good week in CS for many reasons, and I did enjoy my time there. There was some rush of crossing the stage, but most of the rush came from sitting in Java Joy with my new laptop enjoying all the things that the Lord had done in my life in the last few years. It was precious time. It was also wonderful to be surrounded by family and a few sweet friends.

Now I reside in Fort Worth, Texas. After months of praying hard and relinguishing any control of my life, the Lord has led me to the next stepping stone. I will be working in the Community Relations department doing Customer Service at the children's hospital that I have been interning at the summer. I am super excited. This is something that I discovered passion in just this summer. I know very little about my position...it was created for me and the little details have not been worked out. I will be starting on September 6th. I'll keep everyone updated...

So, I must say that the Lord is faithful. In one week while I was away at camp the Lord tied up some loose ends. I left with no job offeres and came home to three. I have since heard from one other place. I think that it is interesting how the Lord desires just US. He desires our entire hearts. He doesn't desire our desires or anything else. He just desires US and our entire being...our will. He wants us to intimately give ourselves over to Him. He truly brings us to a place where we can give our entire selves to Him. He took me there for sure. I did nothing on my breaks at camp except BE with Him. It was good. I don't think that the next stepping stone will be any easier. I don't know if it will be grad school, or a relationship, or another job, but He will always bring me to the end of myself no matter what the next stepping stone is.

He likes me blind. He likes me to see too. But I must be in a place where I don't see before I can truly see what He has. He promises us that He will guide us in paths we do not know. I believe that. I will never be able know the next path, but He promises to get me there and to not leave things undone. So while there is a long list of things my heart desires to do, the Lord will lead in His time and He will not leave things in my life undone. Praise Him!!!
