January-August 2022

Hello and happy August! 

I can't believe that this month is almost over and there are only four months left in this year! I had intentions of blogging more throughout the summer, but that obviously didn't happen. I stayed at college and worked at the Hut which serves ice cream, pretzels, nachos, smoothies, coffee, and frozen drinks. For most of the summer we were swamped with serving people who came each week for Teen Extreme camp. It was tiring but SO much fun. 

Since I haven’t posted a picture update in a while, here is one from January to the present. 

What I’m thankful for: 

~ This book that talked in depth about Calvinism and its dangers. I learned alot and would highly recommend it.  
~ This fascinating book that told the history of the King James Bible and how it came to be written. 

~ Flowers from my sweet Sunday school teacher as an object lesson
~This book I read over the summer. 
~ This team I worked with at the Hut during the summer. 
~ During a day of teen extreme week this summer, we made a new record!
~ A beautiful rainbow after a rainstorm. 
~ Coffee stop on the way home with Sarah for my one-week vacation in August. 
~ This sign I saw at Buc-ee's. 😅
~ Supper from Buc-ee's with Sarah on our road trip home. 



~ Gracie being all cute. 
~Getting to bake while at home. 
~ zucchini banana bread
~ Delicious Chinese food (coke chicken, fried rice, and dumplings) and sweet fellowship with friends


~ Getting to visit Petland and seeing this adorable rabbit. 
~My friend came back to the area for college last week, and I spent Monday and Tuesday (8/22-23) with her and her mom and sister. We stayed at a house in Perdido Key and went to Johnson beach both days. 

Johnson beach is in a national park, and it was just gorgeous. The water was clear and warm with small waves. Even though it rained a little on Monday, we enjoyed ourselves very much. 


Such a beautiful beach. 

~ Goodies from my sweet sister and a friend. 

~ And I’m also thankful for all the things I don’t have pictures of: getting to go jet skiing with my family on my vacation, the smell of roses, spending sweet time with my sisters, going on walks, magnificent sunsets, seeing God’s hand at work, times of rest and refreshment, and new blessings and mercies from the Lord every single day. 

And now that the summer is over, a new semester of classes is about to start. 
What have you been thankful for recently? 

love, 
Ashley 

Psalm 104:33-34 
I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
