Come Awake
Are we left here on our own?
Can you feel when your last breath is gone?
Night is weighing heavy now.
Be quiet and wait for a voice that will say…
Come awake, from sleep arise.
You were dead, become alive.
Wake up, wake up, open your eyes
Climb from your grave into the light.
Bring us back to life.
You are not the only one who feels like the only one.
Night will soon be lifted, friend.
Just be quiet and wait for a voice that will say…
Come awake, from sleep arise.
You were dead, become alive.
Wake up, wake up, open your eyes
Climb from your grave into the light.
Bring us back to life.
Rise, rise, to life, to life…
SHINE!
Light will shine.
Love will rise.
Light will shine, shine, shine, shine.
He is shining on us now.
~David Crowder Band
“Therefore, my brethren, you were also made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.”
~Romans 7:4
There is a purpose for everything. He is a God who wastes NOTHING! He will not waste your pain, your death, your time, your heart. He will not let you go to waste either…He will pull you from your grave. Whatever it may be…the numbness of life, poverty, sin, bad habits (not neccessarily sinful…just not good stewardship), confusion….
Be more quiet now and wait for A Voice that will say….
Eating My Way Through It 
I love my sister! You are sounding so good now-a-days. It makes me smile to hear (or read) you talk. Thank you so much for the encouragement! I hope that this year is very good to you 😉 and that you do find your “at last.” I think that would be freakin awesome!

Daddy has gone to do a piss test, it’s the last step before orientation Friday morning at 11. He’ll be employed at Target, nighttime management of unloading as of Monday. GLORY! It’s a 40 hr job with some nice bennies, one includes something having to do with some sort of sponsorshiping of adoptions, would you believe? Whodda thunk it? He also called CLN to keep his name on top for anything that might be still on the market there- no word as yet about anything being filled tho. That’s a good sign too.
I’ve forgotten to tell you two other things- you got a jury summons and I find that VERY unfair of you! I’ve STILL never been summoned, and I WANT to be! Anywho, we went in to the court house and took care of that. Daddy had been summoned a week earlier than you so he had to get his taken care of too. You’ll be asked again this June, and he’s got November. Me? I’ve got hotdogs. >=]P
The second thing was that… um… I still forget……………………………………………….
I really liked that song you recited (or typed while looking at the insert, lol) as it truly seems to be matching up with so much of what is being said TO the Bride as of late. The year of the Bride– she is being kissed. May MANY of the Brides WAIT for THE Kiss so they don’t become distracted by all the wannabe faker kissers out there! *spit* Come away, my bride, my beauty. For the time has come to be enthrawled by Your King.
Continue to Practice the Presence, Ashley. The Holy Spirit is teaching you how to dance so that when “he” steps in, you’ll know the right moves.
I love you Ashley *tears* I love you

No, this isn’t what I wanted to tell you but forgot-
Nate’s site is now “on” so get your groove on his site too.
Don’t tell him I told you. hehehehe *tip-toeing away*
you’ll have to chew on it? i don’t thinnk i know what that means…but i definitely love how you signed your name ash-grove, i definitely got a laugh out of that one. you know i love you, or i wouldn’t tease you so much about the hilarity of your name’s meaning 🙂
Ashley = peaceful dweller… Erin = Gaelic dirivative of “Ireland” (not chosen forthe meaning but because it sounded soft and feminine)… Amania = FAITHFUL (chosen with MAJOR purpose)… Ruth = friend
Aren’t you glad to have a peaceful and faithful feminine friend to dwell with? =D
Amen! Ahh, you all did a poetry night! That makes me smile 🙂 I miss you girls. Hope classes and the Sisterhood are going well. Things are going delightfully. I will post some more pictures as soon as I leave Thailand next week. I hope that you are getting your money’s worth out of those textbooks!
HM! A vision or dream… Yes, actually, I think the name “Ashley” sounds quite dreamy. Close your eyes. No, wait, then you can’t finish reading my comment, open your eyes.
Picture a lovely set of white lacey curtains waving on the clothes line, drying gently on a spring afternoon in the sun. Can you just feel the breeze? *filling her mouth with a BIG HUGE breath and blowing it out fast and furious as she can, to include the spit* =D Nice huh???

I went to poetry night too! I played and sang two songs, and my precious daughter ESTHER was with me this time. That was a twist! It was super bowl sunday so the loft was rather naked, only about 12 people or so. It was good to be there regardless. I love it when worship grabs my heart away and I can sing My Hope over those precious souls. Jesus is too awesome to keep to myself!

I would call it “snaps” shhh. Dont tell anyone. Bean bag chairs. thick black lines, with big blocks of color. Poetry readings, and thick fogs of smoke. But SOAKED in PRAYER BABY! Okay i love you goodnight.
