-"How did this student do in meeting ministry expectations?
'Ashley went above and beyond the epectations that myself and the ministry wanted her to do.'
-What ministry strengths did you observe in the student?
'Ashley has tremendous insight into the hearts and life of the teens she works with. She often makes observations or reflects on her own experience in sush a way that I often feel like I learned something.'
-In what areas does the student need to grow in order to be successful in youth ministry?
'I woul dlike to see Ashley grow deeper in her understanding and knowledge of scripture. 2 Peter 1:5-8'
-Would you recommend that this student proceed as a youth ministry major?
'Yes! Ashley is solid. Honest, assertive and creative. She loves Jesus and loves kids and is willing to learn. That is the foundation, in my humble opinion, of any Youth Minister worth their weight.'

*I read this evaluation that my Young Life director filled out about me for a class...and well I cried. Reading this makes me well I don't know what it makes me feel but it makes me feel something. I feel very unworthy of the words that Elvin has written down. I carry this piece of paper around with me, and I read it alot to I guess see what my potential is.

Right now, I talked about this with Tatum last night for like hours, but right now I am really struggling with who I am. I don't know who the real Ashley is. When I'm with people, I couldnt tell you whether I'm being real or not. I don't know what my Identity is. If that even makes sense. Like am I what I am sitting here right now....but what is that. Or am I this person that I'm going to be in 30 min... and what is that. I have these things inside....is that me. Or am I the things that people see on the outside. Yeah I'm all of those but am I being who I am....Me.

Perhaps it's not such a bad thing you don't know who you are.. if in following Christ we are to deny ourselves completely, sounds like it doesn't matter who YOU are or what YOU want. in this new pursuit of your identity, find it solely in Him. That's one way to avoid disappointment.
"God, make Your desires the desires of my heart."
