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!

Going to Camp

Hello Blog Friends!

I am writing to let you know that I'm leaving for camp soon, and to ask you to pray for me!  Of course I am really excited -- I love camp and love being a camp counselor.  Like I wrote in my last post, this may be my last week working there, at least for a year or two or three -- I don't know yet what God has in store for the next few summers -- and I'm hoping and praying that it will be an amazing week and that God will help me to be the best counselor I can be! 
I haven't been feeling very well the past few days.  Had a little stomach bug on Thursday and Friday... I'm *mostly* better from that now, but my throat is feeling kinda yucky this afternoon.  If you would, please pray that God will heal me and that I'll feel good for camp.  Some of the other staff need that prayer too -- I've heard that several of them aren't feeling well.  I just read this morning, God says that His grace is sufficient and His strength is made perfect in our weakness.  I believe that and am thankful for it, but I'm still praying to get well, too!  :-) 

Other prayer requests for camp... if you are compelled to pray for any one or more of these: 
* safety all around
* me and the other counselors to be godly examples and mentors to the campers
* wisdom in talking/counseling with the kids
* the love of Christ to be shown all around
* adjustment as we all get used to Lloyd being gone and the new director being in charge
* children's lives to be touched and changed - and God to receive the glory for all things!

Thank you in advance for your prayers!  Be looking for a post about camp in about a week or so!  I hope you're all having a good 4th of July and have a great week!
God bless you,
Ashley

My grace is sufficient for you,
For My strength is perfected in weakness.
2 Corinthians 12:9

Thanks for your prayers and wishes! Hey, you aren't too far from Kentucky, unless you are in Kenya, of course! :D Maybe we will get to meet in real life someday! I'll be praying for you.

Have a very bright, very cheerful day!

I'll pray for those things. I loved being a camp counsellor as well, but my place was running the children's program during family camp. It's a lot of fun! I'm sure it'll be a big adjustment to have a new director. I look forward to seeing your posts when camp is done. God bless.

Mama J.
