And remember that old saying what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, You hang in there Ashley and stay STRONG and keep in your faith and you can do anything, Life is very hard and we all feel the effects of it at one way or another and that's how we learn and we have to go threw that to grow and our rewards will come later in life. It's wonderful you talk to your brother for advise, I remember way way way way way (lol..lol..lol) back before your Dad went into the marines I use to talk to him all the time and when he left I was lost so you keep that close connection w/ him and he can help you alot with advise and just someone to lean on. Start your day with a smile and a learning attitude and think how many others would love to do what your doing and how lucky you are to have made this decision to teach children. Just keep all that in mind Ashley and remember to make everyday fun in some way and make memories good ones and before you know it the time will start to go by faster and there maybe a time when ya think it's almost been a year I'm not ready to move on :) Take care and stay safe, Luv you Luv Aunt Susan Dear Ashley,

You were raised to be stubborn and get what you want in life by EARNING IT! So, for those of us like you that live by a code of ethics and earn our way through life to include respecting others it sometimes is hard. But in the end, you will reep all of the rewards that God can heap upon you for doing the right thing and staying focused on his path. So, keep working hard, don't let the little things get you down or upset and stay true to your code. It is the right code which has served you well so far. You are on the path of the rightous Ashley, don't leave it. Stick it out, you will be a better and stronger person for it when the time comes for you to leave. Yes, living in a forgien land is NOT something I would want to do full time. I enjoyed my visits a LOT though when I made them. So, enjoy what you can and build your memories now. You will never regreat it. I love you honey. Dad Ashley,

I copied just the last part of this blog and sent it to be distributed to our wonderful members who so graciously prayed for me with my eye problem. Your testimonial to your love and faith in Jesus made tears come into my eyes. I'm overwhelmingly proud of you for many, many things, as you know, but your spiritual maturity and the ability to share your faith in this personal way far surpasses anything else. "To God be the glory for the things he has done." Be assured that you are upheld in prayer. I'll repeat my favorite verse when I'm feeling overwhelmed with pressing decisions: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him AND HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS." Much love to my Wings, Grandma Our Spritual Enrichment Group at church has been studying a book by Richard Foster on prayer.

I'm so happy to hear that you are leaning on Christ! He is our only hope in times of confusion and trouble. You are growing up so fast and I'm so happy to hear that big brother is helping you too! He has also been through a lot and I'm glad you two can share your life experiences and help each other grow. That's what being a family is all about! I will be so happy when we can all get together again and share some time with each other. I love you and pray for you everyday........you can count on that! Please be careful and don't ever take for granted that they won't "enforce" those laws..........just ask J3 about always being the one to get caught! I love you and miss you a lot! Mom Amen, sister!!
