A Little About Me

My life is busy. I'm a wife, I'm a teacher, I'm a grad student. I'm kind of in charge of a Wednesday night Bible study. I'm hopelessly devoted to ten students who are in my Service Learning Club. I've also taken on senior capstone projects this year. I'm trying to travel while on a tight budget. If it weren't for my relationship with Christ, I'm pretty sure I would lose my mind. But I've been given a promise. We all have.

Exodus 14:14 says "the Lord will fight for you; you need only be still."

In my life, I try to take on all the burdens myself, and in the process I become overwhelmed. And when I'm overwhelmed, I miss the magnificence that God has placed in my life. So this blog is going to be my touchstone. A place for me to share with you the struggles of my everyday life and how God is working through them.

Too often, I think Christians put on a facade and act as if everything is fine. It's like we think we are going to get kicked out of the club if we don't have everything perfect. Guess what? We aren't intended to have it all together! My life isn't ever going to look like a spread from Southern Living! God wants to show His strength through my weakness. I can rest. I can be still. I can find quiet in my busy life knowing that God will go to battle for me. I just have to acknowledge Him, and He has promised to make my ways straight.

Will you join me in slowing down? Perhaps by examining my messy life and God's hand in it, you too can acknowledge what He is doing for you and through you.

Blessings,
Ashley
