God Wink

So, lately I have been reading a whole bunch. I love love love to read! Anything from newspapers to magazines to books to comics. All are great!

That leads me into my blog today. I have been reading a book called "When God Winks at You" by SQuire Rushnell. The book basically talks about how coincidences that happen you in life may not be a coincidence but a wink from God to let you know you are on the right path.

I'm reading this book and the concept it awesome. I just didn't see it in my life. I enjoyed reading about the winks that happened in the author's life and even some celebrity stories. I guess I just couldn't see it happen in my life, so I couldn't appreciate it.

Well, tonight...I finally had a wink. I met with an individual to discuss some relationship based questions. I already knew the answer, but just needed to hear the words. I was sad at the time, but by the time I left, I was not longer sad. i felt great.

I was given the chance to get the closure I needed. I also got a chance to discuss some issues that I think he needed to hear. I feel like a weight has been lifted and the chains removed. I feel like this is a wink that says I will be okay. That I need to move on and meet new people. I need to make different choices, not keep falling into the same routine. I now know what it's like to have a wink from God. ;)

Prom All Over Again!

I get to go to prom again! I'm really excited. I believe the 80's theme will be so much fun. I secretly wanted to go, but I was officially asked to go yesterday. At first I thought, "I have to work :( ", but then I woke up.

I am 24 years old. I don't ever go anywhere or do anything. I work at the school, I go home. I work at the CK, I go home. I go to church, I go home. I deserve to have some fun. Most 24 year olds are out at parties with friends or going on trips.

I need to wake up and see that I don't want to spend my life working constantly. It's tough having a job where you work on the weekend. That means I don't get to go to many events or places. I took next Saturday off so I could go to the Pretty in Prom event.

I deserve the time off. I deserve to be pretty. I deserve a sweet guy to ask me on a real date to prom. ;) Saturday will be lots of fun! Now I just have to find clothes for my date and accessorize myself! 80's! Here we come!

Hello.

Hi. My name is Ashley and I have totally neglected my blog. I would like to say it's because I'm busy...but that would be a lie. I would also like to say it's because I'm boring...that could be the truth. Either way, I'm back....again.

I'm not going to do an update again. I'm just going to start with today and move forward. In the words of Jimmy Buffett, "yesterday is over my shoulder, so I can't look backwards too long." He is totally right. I could walk around the rest of my life using a mirror to view my past, but for what? Nothing is changing. Nothing as far as the past goes.

I have decided basically what I want to do with my life. I passed the academy with flying colors, except the EVOC or driving portion. I have now failed that twice. I believe its time for a change. So I decided I want to be an RN. I will attend Gordon and try to specialize in trauma. I then want to go to third-world countries and give medical care. I feel that I am so blessed to live in a nation where everyone can go to school. People don't fight over food; we fight over what restaurant to go to. It's heartbreaking to realize how much we take for granted in this country. I want to give back. I feel lead to Africa. There is such a need for medical care, especially with AIDS. I just want to love the unloved.

I am still single, but that’s okay. February or March, depending on who you ask, will make me single for a year. Honestly, I don't regret anything I've done in the past year. I've met great people and crappy people. Good guys and selfish guys. All in all, I have learned a lesson from each of them. Maybe one day I'll post a blog of these lessons. Laughing out Loudly!

So, now that I have the time, I will attempt to update everyday. Ye be warned, my life isn't that exciting. :)
