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!

God is Good!!

Hello again everyone!
I just wanted to share a really neat story. 
Sometime last year, the son and daughter-in-law of a lady at my church had their second child, their first daughter.  A few weeks or maybe months later, the baby died.  I didn't know the baby's parents, only the grandma, but I prayed for the grieving couple. 
This morning at church, that same couple was baptized.  Husband and wife entered the baptistry together.  Both were crying and couldn't stop smiling, and they were baptized together while their little son watched.  It was precious to watch them stand there in the water and hug after they had been baptized.  What a wonderful testimony of how God has redeemed the lives of two young adults, even after going through such tragedy as losing a child.  Our God is an awesome God!!  Wow!! 

I also want to share that I have been blessed this past week with a part-time job that I'm super excited about!  The job is with the same Christian camp that I work at as a counselor in the summer -- but now I will be year-round staff, working in the office, helping with retreats, promotion, etc.  Since I have a passion for camp ministry and want to work in it long-term, this is a great start and will give me some great experience!!  I'm very excited and thankful for the opportunity. 

I hope God blesses you all with a wonderful week.  Remember to look for His love and goodness in the big AND little things! 
~Ashley

I've seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn't ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I've seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That's what faith can do

How exciting, to both of those events! The camp job sounds like it will be very interesting, and like it will be an awesome opportunity for you!
