Update for Ashie

It is morning's like this that I LOVE and miss, but am ever so thankful for when I do actually have them.  I am just sitting on my couch, TV on in the background and sipping on coffee, which I might add is simply perfection.  (My new thing is I put a little nutmeg in my coffee and it adds a bit of Christmas Joy!).

I miss having mornings, or weekends like this.  They seem to be few and far between here lately, but I guess it just makes me even more thankful when I do have them.  I know I have been a little absent from the blogging world here lately, but the things that I have wanted to blog about I felt were either a little too personal, or had a lack of interesting quality, so thus, I have not written.   So here are a few things to catch you up on-
1.  School-  It is great.  I have new kiddos, a new year- new kids, and it has been different.  I got super attached to my kiddos last year, but I have started to become just as attached and love these kids just as much.  It has been fun having more kids that I know at the school because I get to give my old kids hugs and encouragement, and continuing building relationships with them, while building new ones with the new kiddos :)  I have about 32 in all of my classes.  Needless to say this is a little overwhelming at times.  One class I have so many personalities I barely know what to do with them...but the Lord shows me patience, so I try to show them that same thing.  There is not a lack of problems that these kids have to deal with, and I am thankful for the Lord has allowed me a chance to talk with them and try to show them love daily.  I am also thankful for a Principal that really believes in our kids at school.  It is encouraging and helps you keep going when you get down.
2.  Cheerleading- I love my girls...but I am getting a little worn out.  I have recently taken over Varisty (just for about two weeks) due to one of my Sweet Friends, Haley (the Varsity coach) getting married!  That has been interesting, and boy do I have some stories!  As soon as I fill little Miss. Haley in on what happened I may blog about some of the stories...some of the ones that are funny now that I am about of them.  ha.  Cheerleading is a whole other world, and I have a whole new respect for Haley being the Varsity Coach.  I love those girls A LOT...but drama seems to ensue anytime cheerleading is involved.
3.  The rest of life is good...I have started going to the Dallas Campus of the Village and I LOVE IT!! IT is great...if you are checking out churches we would love to have you!  IT is great and I am just so thankful for my church family!

That is all for the moment...I will blog when I have more to say.  Love you all.

Ashie :)

good. and promising.

In him, we have redemption, through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making knows to us the mystery of his will according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

Ephesians 1:7-10
