The History or Story Behind The Site
This website came to be by Ashley getting a message from God to start a christian website. It is possible the idea may have been triggered when looking at the Starfield website *-The link will be below-, but it is not entirely certain :P The idea just came to Ashley from God!
What's Happening??
April 24th, 2006
Hey Hey! Well it has been a while since i added an entry, but that is because I have been ubër busy. Papers upon papers upon presentations upon report upon text upon exam! ugh haha BUT...*drum roll please..* I AM DONE! D-O-N-E people ohhh man. I can't even tell you what I feel. It is so weird. 4 years of university just went by so quickly! It is hard to think that I will be graduating next month, on May 12th.. pretty soon, and I still feel like a little girl. Some days I feel adult, but some days I would prefer to cuddle up on the couch with a teddy and watch sesame street or carebears. Funny how time flys huh?
It is weird to think just how much we take for granted. A wise person once told me that if i was to sit back and think about all of the blessings that I have in my life-all the things i have going for me that other people may not be as fortunate to attain- I should be blown away, and really become thankful. I have sat here and thought about that and that wise person is so right. How often do we complain about things in our life only to find that if we didn't go through those things, how would we know we could get through them in the first place? If God didn't allow us to go through hard times how would we ever know that he could help us out of it if we called on him with love and asked for his help? I am thankful for all the *crap* I have gone through, because it has shown me many things. One, that I am a strong person, I am resilient and can get through with a smile still on my face, two, that I have people who truly care (ex: mommy) that are there for me when I need them, and three, it doesnt make anything better to say "God why have you let me go through this?" because really, how can God help you out of a jam if you don't let him? You need to open up your heart to him in order for him to come in and take it away, and as I said, how can you know that he can help if you dont go through some pain in the first place? For this I say Thanks Lord for my hardships, because in the end, you have brought me joy.
We are so blessed to live in a country where we can say that too, and call on him to help us out and keep us safe when we need him. We are so blessed to have family, friends, a warm bed to sleep in, a right to education, and a right to fre speech. We are so blessed to have technology, communication, and support. And most of all, we are so blessed to have a loving Saviour that says "Come to me and I will give you rest". Praise Jesus!On That note, take care all, and remember..
"It's Kool to love Jesus!"

Hey guys, been a while since I updated. God has been working wonders lately hasn't he? Amen. Don't fret if you are feeling down because you havn't felt much going on lately however. God has a special place for you in his heart, and loves you more than anyone could, and wants to give you everything your heart desires. All he asks in return is that you believe in Jesus Christ, accept him as your Saviour, the one who died for you so that you can live a rockin' awesome life knowing you belong to Him and are going to go to the greatest place ever, Heaven :D. Honestly, don't feel down, when things are tough, don't give up. God is here to take away your burdons and pain, he is knocking on the door no matter how faint or barely audible it sounds. Just listen closely, "are you there God?" "Yes I AM" :) Accept him today, let him make your days brighter and your way straight. He is like your best friend who will go anywhere with you and do everything with you and will not leave your side. Whoohoo! You've got a great friend.
On another note, please sign this petition:

Well well, It has been almost a year since I wrote a "what's happening"column in here.. I have added other things but havn't updated this! How silly. Anyhoo, things have been quite crazy but fun folks. For starters, I quit Thriftys/Bluenotes, started working for Kinap Athletics Club as a camp counsellor, and had surgery on my eyes! To read more about my miracle with my eyes go to the "God in your life" page. Blomidon is coming up again! Whoohoo! This is going to be a great camp, it feels like it is going to be very moving this year, which is what we need! Not like any other year wasn't touching, I mean, just read my comment from last Blomidon below! This year feels a little different though. If you would be interested in knowing more about Blomidon 3-day weekend camp, email me. We are also having another in September so be on the look out for info about that as well! I will write more after Blomidon, but for now, I am off to see the wizard.. the wonderful wizard of... cleaning my room. Tata friends!
God bless, -Ashley
August, 2004:
Hey all! I cant believe I just wrote like a page long entry and I lost it! But I wont get mad or flip out.. maybe this one will just be better? oooooo
Well well. I just got back from an incredible weekend! I was away being a leader at Blomidon Bible Camp! Boy was it ever needed! I have said it before and I will say it again.. Camp does just as much for the leaders as it does the campers!
I had just been getting myself into a real funk, and doing stupid things and I knew the reason why I was feeling so down was that I was out of touch with God. I wasnt praying nearly enough and the things that were going on in my life werent totally God ordained, I was letting satan really mess with my life. I just prayed that this weekend would help me. Then I went away for the weekend and it totally was a blessing. God totally rearranged my life and brought me back to where I should be, with Him fully in Control of my life. An awesome song is Empty me by Jeremy Camp. "that is not of You, and is of me, I need more of You, and less of me." Actually just buy some Jeremy Camp cd's, i was listening to him in the car with Linda-Lee, Jessica, Jen, and Heather, well and Jason and Lacey other days, and man he is totally blessed with his music. Its awesome.
But yeah, I am so so thankful to God for this weekend, and for being able to go to the Contact concert last night as well, it truly helped bring me back on track. Praise God!
Actually I was really convicted this weekend of what I am watching on tv as well, I have been watching Days of our lives since I was 6 years old, and it has really messed up my head I think. Think about what you watch on tv. Its all witchcraft, sleeping around with you best friends boyfriend, cheating, lying , manipulating people, and revenge, no wonder why we are so lustful, vengeful and spiteful! We need to turn off the filth so that our lives can be better focused on things tht will make us a better person. Like the Bible! Open 'er up, all you need to know is in that puppy, all life's lessons are displayed you just need to find them, there is stuff on everything in there. And you can always ask someone for answers to questions you would like to know about, and if they dont know the answer, ask them to guide you to someone who does! Its that simple. So yeah... I dont watch Days anymore, starting last night. I had 3 episodes waiting for me to watch when I got home... I told mom to tape over them. Yay me! Yay Jesus! I know He will give me better things to do.
I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who went to camp as well, the leaders and the campers for giving me a great time and helping me get back where I needed to be with God. Praise God for His miracles! "I will declare my choice to the nations, I will shout for joy in the congregation, I will worship God.. worship God.. All my days... Those who love the Lord are satisfied, those who trust in Him are justified, I will serve my God.. serve my God.. All my days..."!!!!!
If anyone ever needs to talk, dont hesitate to call me, or email me. God Bless, and I love you all. I hope you all keep truckin' for the Lord, like I sure will.
In His Holy Name, -Ashley xoxo
