Ashley’s Goals for Fall 2006

Ashley’s Goals for Fall 2006
(Updated Saturday, September 16, 2006)


I will join in enthusiastically, honestly with the goal that whatever I'm doing is for a greater goal.
I will be grace-full & in-tune to what is going on around me, balancing time with others and time with God justly.
I will be honest with myself--the good, the bad, the good (which is often harder), & the ugly, accepting grace purely and respectfully.
I will be me through & through.
Embrace my strengths, & allow my weaknesses to be made something more than they are.
I will treasure the "awkward moments" & embrace the times when the genuine share their heart with me & I with them.
I will fight for another's name, testimony, heart, & word.
I will listen intently & life-changingly to those who have the courage to speak & be quick to understand those who are working to break down the walls in life & speak.
I will learn to relax: celebrate: have fun: let my guard down: do what I feel: get out of my comfort zone.
I will be open to discovering who I am & who this person we call God truly is.
I will be thankful for my past: be Honest about my past.
I will run to those who have laid their heart out on the table for all to see, comforting them in their pain, rejoicing with them in their triumph.
I will stop lying to myself, stop lying to others about who I am, and be transparent: the same through and through.
I will recognize that we are all on different paths, not so much different levels & out of that accept them where they are and stir them to more fully live.
I will give my friends the chance to win, give people a chance to win me over.
