I am thankful for…


God’s unfailing love

The creative boys on our squad who initiated “Tanks-and-Ties-giving”

The encouraging e-mails from my close friends

Ziplock bags and their multiple uses

Internet, even when it is slower than dial up

Malaria medicine, cold medicine and stomach medicine

Beans, especially black beans

God’s sweet little blessings that I don’t see coming

People who bring me a hot cup of tea when I am feeling sick

The hard lessons in life that push you to face your fears and thrive from them

My summer home aka my little tent.

Letting go of the spirit of comparision 

All my friends and family supporting me back home (Hola Back!)

Grace from other team members and we go through life

God’s provision in the small things

My teammates and the unity we have made

Two Squad leaders who love me for who I am

God grabbing my attention this year



(You reading this blog that I finally got to post as I scouted out wifi). 


Love,


Ash
