update on life

Ok so there has been lots of things going on lately.... last Wednesday (August 26th) Luke and I attended the Hillsong United concert at the Spirit Bank center in Tulsa. It was such an awesome night of worship and you could feel the presence of God. It was so awesome and not like anything I have ever experienced... words can't really describe that amazing night. It left you speechless and in awe of how great our God is! Check out there website to learn more about who Hillsong United is and what they are all about. http://www.hillsongunited.com/ You will be amazed... Post me some comments and let me know what you think! The next night Luke and I headed back to Arkansas and I spent the weekend there before I started my first day of work on Monday (August 31st) at my new part time job! Yeahhh!! I've had some ups and downs about this, but I just kept praying about it and I finally got some peace about it. It's going to be a really great start to my career and I'm going to learn so much and I'm really looking forward to it. My part time job is at CalicoCorners which is a custom fabric store and a design center. They do anything from curtains, upholstery, comforters, bed skirts, and pillows! So I will be helping customers/clients who come in and are needing design help! I have an extensive training to go through first, but there is lots to learn so I'll probably be blogging about the new job over the next couple of weeks. It has been very hard to find a job and especially one that is in the design field... it is not exactly what I expected to be doing, but for now it will work and I am looking forward to it. I believe you have to start somewhere and that it is important to know as much as you can about interior design whether your dealing with fabrics, furniture, or accessories... they all tie in together one way or another and I happen to be starting out with the world of fabrics!

That's about all that is going on for now! I'm excited about this new chapter in my life and I am loving the weather here in Tulsa right now.... you can tell Fall is right around the corner and I'm looking forward to sweaters, hats, leggings, and boots =) I'm ready for change!

time to start blogging again!

Wow! It's been a long time, but I'm back! I was MIA for awhile busy with lots of stuff... finishing school, going to the beach, moving out of my house back home to Tulsa, trying to find a job and basically just trying to adjust to life unemployed and living w/ my parents again! So I put my blog on hold so I could get settled and catch up on time to update it and write.... don't worry all I am back! My life has been crazy, but with lots of soul searching this past week I am ready for whatever it is God has planned for me and I am so excited and anxious about it because I know he has something great in store and I don't want to miss out on what that is. Just to get everyone a little caught up on the life of Ashley Stone I am busy applying and calling every place that exist in Tulsa, Oklahoma that has something to do with designing and I haven't had much luck. That's ok though because with this new outlook I have on things I'm not worried about it. There is no reason to stress or worry when God is in control.... and that is so comforting to know that when I'm uncertain about anything in my life he is certain that things are going to be ok! Gosh! That is so comforting to know isn't it? So besides the job search and the amazing things God is showing me and doing for me in my life I am away from Luke =( which at times has been difficult, but we're in this together and we know in the end we're going to end up together and that's all that really matters. Luke is so awesome... he lifts me up when I need it, encourages me ALL the TIME, and I don't know what I would do without him, I love him! Well in a big nutshell that pretty much sums up what has been going on lately. It's good to be back on my blog....! =)
