The last year
Wow…looking back on the last year…a LOT has happened.
I rang in 2009 New Year in a hospital hooked up to an IV in London (things looked up from there)
I became an aunt
I made finals in Open Class at World Championships for winterguard
I directed another bronze medal award winning year of Berry College Independent Winterguard.
I went to Costa Rica and got love professed to me by a local Costa Rican boy, who still talks to me on facebook and asks when I am coming back to see him. “Ashton, you are different kind of girl, no? You are special”. haha! Guess it depends on how you interpret “different”.
I had some interesting relationships come and go
I began my last year in college
I auditioned for and made a World Class winterguard
Truly so much has happened. A lot I am not proud of and a lot that I am. But good or bad, 2009 definitely taught me some things….about myself, about others, and about the Lord. If I had a new years resolution (hate those by the way), it would be to grow closer the the Father. I have realized I am not as strong as I thought I was. I cant always do what is right. No matter how much I know I should…I succumb. I need Him to give me the strength to make the right decisions. Because as life as shown me, I am not capable of doing it alone.
That’s what He has shown me too. My pride just builds up so much at times and then He shows me that I cannot rely on myself…I need His strength every day, and I need wisdom to discern His will instead of going with what I feel like is His will.
