Ash...once upon a time...

I read a friend's blog and stole this idea from him. I thought it would be fun/interesting to recollect.

10 Years Ago: (I was 11 and in Grade 7)
~ just entered junior high and was lonely cause my I left my best friend back in Grade 6
~ started in drama (haha)
~ started visiting my birth mom

5 Years Ago: (Started Grade 12)
~ was the "president" of my youth group
~ helped start an outreach ministry in Swift called Daybreak Ministries
~ was filling out applications to go to Trinity Western University for journalism

2 Years Ago: (Working at LifeForce office)
~ was living with the fabulous Joy Benson (now Green)
~ was working with the amazing Katie McLellan
~ was re-evaluating my life

Today:
~ went to the drug rehab/drop-in centre to visit a new friend
~ had an encouraging talk with Lindsay about how I'm doing with the whole leadership thing
~ willingly gave my team a day off from drama to watch a movie

Hmmm...what a strange life. Jesus is really teaching me to be satisfied with where I am and to still live each day to the fullest. I'd rather live in love tomorrow instead of in grumpiness and cynism. Jesus is also revealing to me how all the moments of my life--the small, the triumphant, the lonely, etc--are all woven together by Him to develop my character and create in me His likeness. Now it's time to sleep.
