i almost forgot
yeah, so this morning at skating, I finally decided that it doesn't matter if I'm sore and swollen for the rest of the week, I needed to work on axels. So I did, and guess what? I'm going to be sore and swollen for the rest of the week! and my toepick gouged my ankle. I have a long scratch (it bled) on the back of my ankle... it's great fun. OH and did I mention that I fell on ONE side of my bottom? not the other? isn't that weird? I;ll be fine tho. just HAD to share that with you...lol. ttyl!

prayer requests!!
I'm having volleybal tryouts tomorrow! And I haven't played for about 4 months.... so I'm a little bit nervous. (understandably, right?) yeah, so the specs are:
last year I tried out and didn't make it on 14's... I'm really hoping to make 14's select.

BROOMBALL
ok, so I played broomball after church today with my youth group (or a few of them) and it was radical. So awesome. I actually got the ball like 7 times... and I was only there for an hour... pretty amazing, aren't i? jk. but it was sooo fun! I'm going back next week!

my resolve!
okay, so I have been thinking. yes, i do think alot.
Yesterday, when I was having my quiet time, I was thinking about how I treat people.
When I think about it, I make exceptions for loving everyone. I say
" oh, but they're being annoying, so i can tell them to just shut up."
"oh, but they are so weird"
"oh, but they are being mean to me"
"oh, but I'm sick of them."
BUT! then I thought about Jesus, and how he has UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for EVERYBODY! He doesn't just love the beautiful, kind-all-the-time, popular, smart people. He loves the dorky, annoying, ugly, fat, mean, bully, unpopular, nerdy people too. AND HE DIED FOR THEM. so who am I to not love them? Am I equal to God that I can not treat one of his children with the kindness and respect that they deserve? nope, I'm not and I should be treating everyone the way He did.
Matthew 25:40 "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' " That's one of my favorite verses, because it shows that the way we treat people shows if we love God or not.
so, join me in my resolve to love evrybody, and we can start a revolution! A revolution towards kindness and humbleness. A revolution towards being like Jesus.
If you are serious about this, take the pledge:
I do solemly pledge to honor God with my actions, specifically in treating his children, ALL HIS CHILDREN, the way He would treat them, and nothing less.
Did you take the pledge? if you did, keep it, and rate your self every day on your progress!
in Him,
Ashley

soo excited for the weekend!
I am so excited for the weekend, for reasons I cannot explain. I just really am. k, so on Friday we get to get out of school at 1:30 to go to a basketball game... I am happy 'cause I get to miss math!!! I get to miss math!!!!!!!!!!!
Soooo happy...
ecstatic. That's about all that I can think of. I just really wanted to type. It's so fun. And my mom won't let me on the computer at home until my room is cleaned.. (by the way, I'm at school...in the library. It's 12:30 pm..fifth period) yeah, so I really wanna type some more, so I'm going to blabber..chocolate- I love it. I hate milk chocolate tho...it's too sweet and milky... dark chocolate is way better..by far, no questions asked, hands down... it has kind of a more acquired taste, so a lot of people hate it, but I love it. yeah... I'm going to talk about something else...music- it's great, don't know how I would live without it... the endLabels: 1:30, basketball, blabbering, cleaning room, dark chocolate, ecstatic happy, excitement, music, weekend
