I cant help but to think this is the beginning of the end. God has ended this chapter in my life and now its moving on to the next. Next week I will be at summer camp with my youth kids then once I return I plan on driving home. A couple of nights ago I went to the AMB training camp to see my fellow team mates ( in case you dont know Becca, Seth, and Ashley Hal Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=watch-and-learn http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=watch-and-learn Well there's not much to say on here besides the fact that the year is coming to an end. Things have been getting a little odd around here lately. I still love my team but I know once the year is over things will be different. I am slowly preparing myself for when I go home. I know I have friends who don't even believe in God and it'll be a little different to hang out with them. I won't stop hanging out with someone just because they have different beliefs then me. How would I show God's Mon, 26 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=wake-up-calls http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=wake-up-calls It's 5 am in the morning and there's my father nudging me and saying my name "Ashley, Ashley, ASHLEY, you need to get up for school" No matter how much I hated this at the time, how rude I was, how grumpy and upset at him I was he still did this every morning with a smile on his face. I am by NO MEANS a morning person. I had hated school beyond belief but knew I had to roll out of bed, take a shower, eat, get dressed, drive half way to school, than walk about 1 mile to school (my sister didn't Sat, 17 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=chasing-what-the-world-wants-us-too http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=chasing-what-the-world-wants-us-too What will I have to Show... What will I have to show 10 years from now? Will I have a big house on the beach with a white picket fence? Will I have the newest fastest car out? Will my husband buy me diamonds and flowers every time we argue? Will I go on monthly vacations to Hawaii? Will my kids have all the toys and pleasures in the world? Will I have everything the WORLD is telling me have? No I won't in reality..why because I don't want those things. The reality is, those things mea Wed, 7 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=prayer-request http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=prayer-request             Please Pray for my Aunt Vickie (she's the beautiful woman in the far left)- She has been battling cancer for a while now. The chemo therapy she was receiving is no longer working. Her current Doctor has recommended that she seeks further help at another clinic. I am asking that those of you who read my blog please lift her up in prayer so that she can defeat this once and for all. She is the only Aunt I have on my fathers side and h Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=finding-my-identity http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=finding-my-identity These past few weeks have been a crazy ride for me. Words can't even begin to explain what has happened. We have had several nights of intense worship and prayer. Some were nights I'll never forget. I had received visions from God of what was to come for next year. I had gotten a vision of Africa and within that was hurt everywhere, everyone was crying, kids were starving, families were broken, it was a pure hectic scene. I wasn't sure what all of this meant so Driver had wanted us to Sat, 19 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=learning-waiting-wanting http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=learning-waiting-wanting Lately I've noticed how I see God working in my life. He is most certainly teaching me. As to what he's teaching me I can't quite pin point. I am doing back flips and bending over backwards here, all while being broken down. I know for a fact that this year is the good kick in the butt I needed. Before my life was very easy going and care free, now.. I have something to care about. MY GOD! I care so much that I am dedicating a year of my life to Him and doing His work. This makes me so happy you Wed, 5 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=the-awakening-discipleship-missions http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=the-awakening-discipleship-missions Awaken to the Adventure Disciples aren't born; they're made. It's a process that takes time, discipline, and God. In reality, it looks more like waking up than attending a class. As part of The Awakening, you can undergo a discipleship program like no other, experiencing four months of intense training in another country to prepare you for the ministry that awaits you for the rest of the year.Join The Awakening Your mornings will be spent in training and your afternoons ministering Fri, 29 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=today-is-just-what-i-needed http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=today-is-just-what-i-needed I had missed work today because I had a horrible headache and couldn't move or really even see. I had decided I couldn't go to work like that because well... I wouldn't work.  Plus I am in the middle of a very different transition.  I have never really felt this way before and I'm not sure how to describe it. I had all these skeletons in my closet and I feel I need to let them out, inside of shoving them back in there. It's almost like putting a band aid on a cut, just cause it's cover Tue, 12 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=fight-the-good-fight-of-faith http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=fight-the-good-fight-of-faith This moment in life I have to say hasn't been smooth. There are more bumps and pot holes in my path than I thought. Granted they are being fixed and soon a new path will appear. If there's one thing I'm certain about it's who I am, but at this moment if someone would ask me who I was I don't believe I could answer that question. I find myself second guessing everything from my being here all the way to the words that came out of my mouth a second ago. I just don't know anything anymore. I though Wed, 6 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=20-going-on-12 http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=20-going-on-12 Well today is my 20th Birthday. I'm excited and I'm trying to have a good attitude. I usually end up a little grumpy on my Birthday because I've had really bad Birthday experiences. haha well this time last year I was getting tattooed and I was watching the man I loved get his sleeve done.. we were driving up to NC to spend time with his family. It's so hard to forget that kind of stuff. I am fine with all of this now.. it's just like images in my head. I'm going to see the new Veggie Tal Sat, 12 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=when-i-need-gods-guidance-the-most http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=when-i-need-gods-guidance-the-most God is showing us His love and beauty with the world around us. We just need to chase after Him with all we have.Father when I need you the most I can never seem to find you.It's almost like a test or trial, to see how hard and fast we run after God when we don't feel Him. There's no greater feeling in the world than when you finally get over that feeling of being a lone, doubt, or just not hearing the Lord, because when it's over your faith is stronger than it was before.

I have so much going on in my mind right now that I can't shut it off. I just went and bought some Birthday stuff for Ashley. Today is her 21st Birthday so I bought flowers, a hoops & yoyo card, and her present and put it next to her bed so when she awakens in the morning she will have a little surprise. I wanted a balloon but who knew they stopped blowing those up at 10! So today I realized again how bad my anxiety is, they had a little party at work Sat, 15 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=its-been-a-while http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=its-been-a-while Well well well..time has been flying by like crazy, I feel like everything is moving at such a fast pace like I'm in the middle of a freeway and everything is flying by before I can even make out what it is. I had forgotten about my blog and I promise that it will not happen again.I am going to make it my personal goal to post something at least 2 to 3 times a week. In other news, I had just come home from Florida. I had time off and Praise the Lord! My father bought me a plane ticket home for Tue, 27 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=road-trip http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=road-trip The current interns and I have been very blessed recently to get the opportunity to go to Matamoros Mexico. There we will experience what it's like to be an FYM at our base. We are shadowing them for a couple of days, and I believe Driver (our leader for this trip) and the interns are going to do our "own thing" to get more of a culture experience while out there in the field. We are leaving November 29th 2007 on a VERY long road trip down to Mexico. The first official stop on the road trip wi Tue, 27 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=excited http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=excited I'm leaving tonight to go up to GA for my internship. I'm so excited yet I feel sad at the same time. I am leaving my family for the first time. My nephew is going to be bigger next time I see him. I won't have my dogs to come home too. But I will have amazing friends there and I will learn SO much from them all. I'm very excited to meet everyone. In other Ashley news: I am now starting a musical project with my friend Steff. She is making music and emailing it to me so her and I can work on lyr Thu, 13 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=trials http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=trials So I feel the need to write about something that I'm going through right now. About 2 months ago the man I was supposed to marry this year left me. We were living in the same house as each other ( he had no family in south Florida so he lived with me) At the time I thought everything was going perfect between us. We were happy, we fought sometimes, we loved each other very much. Than with a blink of an eye he had come to me crying saying he didn't love me anymore and that things in the relations Mon, 30 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=an-amazing-start http://ashleyking.myadventures.org/?filename=an-amazing-start     Well this is my first blog and I'm not so sure how to start things off, so I'm just going to jump the gun and tell you some things going on in my life.      I just got back today from touring with my friends on warped tour and it was one of the best times I've ever had! I'm so tired now from it but at the end I just thank God so much for giving me a chance to experience it all. I actualy talked to my friends about how amazing God is and all the things in m Fri, 20 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT
