*I am soon to spend an entire week in the mountains with my husband.
*Our family is gracious enough to not only keep our kids all week, but to have planned an action-packed-week-o-fun! They are getting their very own vacation within the city limits.
*The Lord gave me a word through a friend to "SHUT IT DOWN" and he has been merciful to help me shut down the thoughts that aren't glorifying. Thank you Jesus!
*I can finally see the light at the end of the packing tunnel. There were many times this weekend that I thought I would never get everyone packed for the week.
*My toe nails are an eye catching pinkish-redish-orangish and I must say, the color is very summer-y.
*JOY!
*Kayt melts my heart each time she claps and waves. Oh, I could eat that cute little grin right off of her face!
*I am anticipating much time to myself this week to sit and think and pray and just be Abba's delight.
*Our new rug should be ready sometime this week! It will be much more crawl-friendly.
*And my new prescription sunglasses should be ready as well. This just tickles my fancy.
*Noah has began to call me momma...at least a few times. I love it! It's just the sweetest sound, but I also love when he calls me Ashee, it's just so...him!
*I had Taco Villa for dinner, mmmmm. Nasty indulgences delight me!
*Gone IS the Wind!!! The past few days have been gust free, I'm please with that.
*God is faithful!
We are soon headed to the mountain tops of New Mexico, please pray for us as we are away this week.
Pray for safety, the Lord's power to be heavy, and my special time with the girls during our class session.
Pray also for my children and my family. I am having a really hard time leaving them, it is such a hard thing for me to do. I've already cried on a few occasions today and I do not want my thoughts to be so consumed by longing to be with them, that I am absent from the place the Lord has called me. Pray also that I can serve my husband and be a blessing to him this week!
Thanks Dudes!

Ever time I get on here and read your sweet words and the wisdom the Lord has blessed you with I am thankful. I am so grateful for your friendship! I pray you & Brad have a fabulous week together and with the Lord. I will also say a little prayer for your sweet kiddos, that they have a super duper fun filled week. Peace+Love.
Hey I'm going to miss reading your blog this week! I got a chance to talk to Noah today and he wanted to know all about what Ty Ty was up to....and some other stuff I couldn't quite translate! What a sweetie! Ya'll have a good week and I'm praying for you. :)
Yuck for missing your babies!
Yay for a week away with Brad and church family!
You will be a blessing to the people there and you'll come back refreshed with a heart full of fondness for your kiddos from your absence. Have a great time and I'll pray for wisdom as you teach and safety as you travel. Have fun!
Heavenly Father,
I thank you for allowing me to cross paths with Ashley and for the many ways she has blessed me through her writing. I humbly come before you and ask for an out pouring of your blessings upon her and her husband as they leave to worship with and minister to these young people. Father, bathe her in your light. Let her be a shining example of your Grace and beauty, your gentleness and compassion, and your loving kindness. I ask for a hedge of protection around not only her and Brad, but their two beautiful children as well. Keep them safely in your arms, and help them feel the peace and comfort of your prescence. Thank you Father. In Jesus precious name!-AMEN
Thanks friends!
Really...I read your encouragements this week and they all ministered to me so much.
Tiffany, I claimed your prayer as my own. Thank you so much!
Ashley,
I must say that I love hearing what the Lord is doing in your life, It is awesome how He speaks through you to others who are reading. Enjoy your trip, you will miss your kiddos and they will miss you too but God will bless the time you are away. Have a great trip!
Oh, I hope your trip to the mountains is FUN!
Honestly, I have never been to Durango (so, so sad) but I'd love to! I know the train from Durango to Silverton is a big tourist thing, but other than that, I'm absolutely no help to you at all!
Enjoy! And thanks for visiting my blog!
