I know, I love


I know God.
I know my name.
I know the shame.
I know God.
 
I know God.
I know His name.
I know His Fame.
I know God.

I Love God.
He loves my name.
He loves my shame.
I love God.

I love God.
I love His name.
I love His Fame.
I love God.

I know I love God.
I know He loves me.

Romania Update.

Sofar I have raised $635. This seems so very small compared to the total of $2,800.  To me I am getting scared that the money will not come in,but I know it will.  I only have a few weeks to get my 75% in.  I need you guys to pray that I will be able to have enough support for this trip.  I do not want to worry about it anymore because I want to begin to prepare my heart for this trip. I am so excited (on top of this worry) for this trip. I am so thankful for the opportunity to love on these children.   I know that God will provide. I have even started selling crafty things hoping it will all add up.  Please keep praying for our teams unity,health, and support.


P.s. If you would like to help support me send me an email: ashleylightfoot@ymail.com or on Facebook!

My Main Squeeze

^ This is my step mom. She does not like pictures so this is the only one I could get out of her.  I love her so much and am so thankful for everything she does for me.  My favorite thing about her is how much she has grown with her Faith in God. I love you Kristina! <3

James.

I help lead a discipleship group for middle school girls ,and we are taking an in-depth study on the book of James. The Girls have a notebook and each week they will memorize 2 versus, depending on the length, and at the beginning of the week write down the verse and their thoughts about it. Through the week they learn and memorize it and then at some point towards the end they will write the verse down again and their thoughts. I am so excited for these girls to be doing this! One because when they share their thoughts it is amazing to see God working in them (some of the things they say are so mature and I would NEVER think that a 12 year old girl would say something like this BUT God works in them everyday!)

The first chapter of James has been on my heart all week and I am so excited that I got to share it with a few people!
"Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow."           -James 1:2-3

My favorite part is the word OPPORTUNITY, because anything that happens and you see it in a bad way you can turn it into an opportunity to share Gods love, or just to put your faith in God alone.  So the one thing I have stuck to this week is taking that opportunity and giving it to God.
