Financial Update

This post will be quick as I am about to head into the prayer room. But I have some very exciting news! I am happy to share with you that I am 75% funded!!!!! =) God is faithful!!!!! Please continue to pray that the rest of the money comes in quickly. My visa has been shipped back to me but has not yet reached my house. Please also pray that arrives safely. =) Let the countdown begin! Only 48 more days!

I've started a new Bible study where I read 5 chapters a day. So by December 23rd, I'll have read the entire Bible. It's been so much fun because God has shown me new concepts in the stories I've read over and over. It's a lot of fun to be going on this journey where He is pulling me deeper into His heart and showing me the things He cares about. One thing I've been really re-learning is my completeness in Him. I just know that even through all the quirks of life........that I'm happy. I'm content. Because I'm finally back to the place where all of me abides in Jesus and He is more than enough for all of my needs. He cares for me and longs to see me prosper and do well. He cares about the tiniest things on my heart. And His answer to all my life problems, is Him. He is always my answer. My everything. My fullness. In Him I live and breathe. If I am complete and full in Him, I have everything. Suddenly all my problems don't seem like such a big deal anymore because I have the answer. I'm finally back to the place where I'm content to sit, just me and Him, for forever. I need nothing more, nothing less. I am simply a vessel. A clay pot. His workmanship. Created for nothing more and nothing less than to love Him. Out of my own choice and free will. And to bring Him glory. If I accomplish those, my life is complete.

It has been fun to see this play a part in preparing for our dance performance this June, Firstborn From the Dead. It's basically the story of Jesus' ministry, death, and resurrection. It is so powerful to watch and even more powerful to actually be in it. I love reading the stories we are doing and then getting to dance them, realizing the people in the stories were actual people just like me!

Well, that's all for now. Thank you again for praying! I am blessed by having you in my life!

Love,
Ashton
