Hi. My name is Ashleigh. I am 14 and home-schooled. The truth is I have always grown up with a lot of military friends, since our church used to be within walking distance of Ft. Jackson. I have always loved America, but I never dreamed that I would be in this position. But the truth is that until a little over a month ago, I had assumed my mom's idea that women didn't belong in the military. What I didn't count on was that in my questioning and changing what I thought, God was simply softening my heart for what He was about to show me. I was sitting in a christian conference on October 12th when God showed me what He wanted me to do. That is when He showed me this about the army, and West Point. It wasn't what I had planned or wanted. I wanted to be a Nascar driver, go to USC, major in political science and journalism, go to law school, and run for office. But now that I KNOW what God wants for me I am much more settled, confident, and overall happy. However I have one HUGE problem. As I said, my mom doesn't approve of women in the military. So I haven't told her, and I am very worried about explaining this to her. Just when I was almost ready, she decided to give another speech to me about why women shouldn't be in the military. Now I am more troubled than ever about explaining this to her. Can anyone help?
God Bless,
Ashleigh
