Hey, I'm Ashley Swaddling

A little but about me:
I live in Surrey and I am turning 16 in like a month and a bit (yay!!). I go to Fraser Heights High School. I have grown up in a Christan home and I have had God in my life since I was 6. I have loved God every since then but in the past 4 years I have began to take my faith more seriously. I go to Parkland Fellowship church and I go to their youth group which is one of my favorite places to be. I went on Missions trip to Mexico last year which was amazing and awesome. I love to play soccer!!!! I love to play all sports. I also love to read! I have only been to Qwanoes during a fall camp with my youth group which is a weekend. I am very excited to be a CIT but I am also nervous! I cannot wait to grow deeper in my relationship with God and make some really great friends. I have gone to a summer camp called Anvil Island so I am familiar with the camp experience. One very exciting thing about my life right now is that I am getting baptized on Easter Sunday!!! It is very exciting for me! So that is a bit about me and if you want to know anything else just ask :)

Good luck with your baptism. It is such an amazing and necessary step in faith. I was blessed enough to be baptized on my mom's birthday,

I think its a huge step for me in my faith and I am so happy i finally decided to do it. Its so cool you got baptized on your moms birthday that must of made that day so awesome for her (and you of course)

Baptism is amazing! Goodluck :D I also got baptized in the summer and it is one of the most amazing feelings after you have done it. I struggled with God a bit too when I was deiciding to get baptized. So I understand what that's like as well. You will be so happy you did it though. It's really great!

Well, I'm happy to help. I hope your baptism is an amazing day for you! Even if your still struggling with anything that has to do on the day itself, you will feel so much relief once it comes down to the actual day. So don't worry, God is in control :) You'll love it! Again, congratulations, and I will be praying for you!
