Who I Am

I am a 23-year-old homeschool graduate and the oldest of four girls in my family. I am currently working part-time for a local Christian camp and preparing in various ways for a future in full-time ministry! I enjoy writing, photography, being in my church's dance team and choir, and hanging out with family and friends. About my blog title -- if you're wondering why "UNDER the Rainbow" -- the rainbow represents God's promises, so I'm living under God's promises and His faithfulness!

What I Love

My Father and Savior, my family, the Bible, my church, writing, being silly and random with my sister Briana, blowing bubbles with my sister Marissa, my sister Daniella's cuddly hugs, playing games with my family, laughing so hard I can't breathe, dancing, Thursday night small group, hanging out with my friends, having serious discussions about life and spiritual stuff, really worshipping God - when I close my eyes and everything else disappears and it's just me and Him, watching someone play the guitar, getting and giving hugs, that feeling you get when you've done something good and no one knows but you and God, catching fireflies, dreaming about the future, taking pictures, understanding new truths from God's Word, when I hit a perfect triple turn in dance, llamas, looking at the stars, going for walks - rain or shine, Guatemala - the country and the people, flamingos, my dog Kacie, reading a good book, my sponsored children, journaling, chocolate, singing in my car while driving...just being alive!

Ready for Summer!!

I can finally see the light at the end of the U.S. History tunnel.... two or three more days and I'll be FREE!!!  Yes, I know it's summer already, and I've been enjoying the warm weather, sunshine, etc.  But when this class is over I'll feel like summer has REALLY started.  :-)  Next week is camp, and a couple weeks after that is the Kenya trip.  I'm totally excited about both, although Kenya still seems kind of surreal. 

I still have a LOT to do before the Kenya trip, and a few things left to do before camp, too, like finishing up planning devotions, packing, stuff like that.  I don't know if this may be my last summer working at camp - at least for a while - so I am really excited, hoping and praying that this will be just an amazing camp week.  I want to be the best counselor I have ever been, for God and for the girls.  :-) 

Prayer request :  Will you all please pray for my really good friend's mom?  The mom's name is Ruth and she was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.  They are supposed to be doing surgery ASAP, followed by radiation, but hopefully will not have to do chemo.  The tumor is still small right now.  Please pray for God to heal her, to provide the money they need, and to strengthen this family as they've had a lot of health issues lately.  Thank you!! 

I hope you're all enjoying summer.. have a great day!!
~Ashley

I am praying for Ruth, camp and Kenya. I know you will be a GREAT blessing to the girls at camp and the people in Kenya.
You are always in my prayers.
I love you.
