my heart is overwhelmed with joy. almost one month until the wedding. david and i are continually growing closer to each other and to God. these past few months have been amazing. in counseling last week pastor judy asked me why i wanted to marry david... well the answer is very simple. we can accomplish great things together, more than we could ever do by ourselves. when i am weak he is strong, and when he is weak i am strong. we inspire each other to be better. both of us have a burning passion for ministry and it's amazing to see how God has already started using us. we are hungry.

lately i have been thinking about my calling. what is it? how will i know? I honestly believe that my calling is in the things that grieve me the most and where my passion lies. i am very aware that my calling at times can cause me to suffer, but the major role of that is to help build character. God is not just interested in me, he loves all of us so much that he will NOT let us be comfortable, we can not learn or grow without crisis. God already began the good work in me, he will never leave my side.

Great thoughts and insight, Ashley! God is going to truly bless each of you and your marriage as long as you have that yearning to be just like HIM!
