I know it's been like FOREVER

But now I have a new and improved pretty blog page!!! So I'm gonna write a long one. Cause there's a lot of updates. yep yep...
Well... let's see. I moved in with Kyndall and Whitney about a month and a half ago. And let me just say that THEY ARE AMAZING! I love these girls. They have been a solid ground for me when things haven't been so solid. You see not too long after I moved in I lost my job. I had about a week and a half where I didnt have a job and man, it was really discouraging. But I got one. And now things are very very tight, financially. But God is good. My landlord agreed to work out a plan.
I really miss all my friends who went home and on mission trips over the summer. Whitney, Katy F, Tanya, Adam, Chuck, Kim, Kevin, Nells, Sara, Juliette, Patrick, you all are verrrry missed!
But God is doing some huge things at Living Hope. People are coming into a relationship with God everyday and mine is growing deeper. He's really showing me what it means to be wholly devoted to Him. I'm taking an Experiencing God class and a Song of Solomon study this summer. With lovely lovely people. Which reminds me I need to get to reading my "Seven Longings of the Human Heart" which is part of the Song of Solomon study so.... I will have to continue this later
Ok I'm back ;) I know... this is like just how I talk... Rammbling. Whatever.
I finally got my stuff finished at Blinn yesterday. Now I just have to wait for the government to give me money for school :/ so pray for me for that. I've decided my major is going to be communications with a minor in marketing. Not to go to the market and communicate with people, I can do that without a degree. (sorry, corny joke). But I actually want to pursue a career in Music. (Hi, Dad!) No, not playing music, but want to be an agent or a manager for a record company. Preferably a Christain label like Tooth and Nail, Sparrow, Forefront Records or Curb Records. I think it would be just a BLAST!!!! Have any of ya'll heard of This Beautiful Republic? They're my new favorite. Listen to them here...
This Beautiful RepublicI plan to go to Blinn for a year and move to Austin in May of 2008 and then transfer to Austin Community College in August. Hopefully get a job at a local or even bigger record label and then eventually go to UT WOOOOHOOOO! I am NOT an Aggie guys, ya'll gotta get the facts straight haha. There's by no means nothing wrong with that. It just ain't me. Except for the fact that I just said "ain't" and would defend the fact that it is in the dictionary.
I'm doing KidShine this summer. It's a Sunday night thing. The name of KidShine comes from Matthew 5:14-16 where it says
"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."On the first day we taught the kids what it means to shine in darkness by turning off the lights in the room (which also had blackout paper on the windows) and then turned on a small lamp. Then they named all the leaders a name that had something to do with light. Thanks to the pastor's daughter miss Jalie... I had the COOLEST name (I think)... MISS RADIANT!!! Oh yes! Sorry Omo... I know you wanted that one. But Light Saber is a cool name too! :) Anyways, We're teaching them this summer why and how we worship and in August the kids are taking over worship at "big church" and I'm SOOOOOOOOO excited! Ahhh, it will be so good.
Ok now... The plan is to blog at least once a week now that I actually got it up and running again. So check back frequently and I'll keep you updated on life. Mucho love to everyone! Oh and check out the Prayer section on the left, that's where I will have any prayer requests I have for the week. ♥Ash

Some call me A.D.D or A.Dizzle
I love God. I am majoring in Communications. I plan on going to University of Texas at Austin.The most amazing city in Texas. I want to travel.
I want to be in the music business.I live with roommates. I don't support myself, God does. I go to Living Hope Baptist Church. I'm a Christian. Even though I go to a Baptist Church, I don't label myself a religion. I have a relationship with Him... that's what really matters. I've lived many places. I have a vivid imagination. I play guitar but not well, I'm learning. Music is my heart and soul.
I don't think I could live without a soundtrack to my life. You will read [in this blog] some of the lyrics to my life. Music is poetry with the melody of life attached to it. I ♥ it!
I go by this motto: Dance like no one is watching!
"Life would be so boring if we all had the same perspective" -Me, yeah I said that!
James 5:16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."
