IT IS OFFICIAL!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Ashley Dawn Burk and Corbin Lockmiller! It is now official, Ashley Dawn has agreed to marry Corbin and become one in Christ with each other. As mentioned previously, being flexible and making adjustments is just part of life as life is full of surprises. It was a surprise to her mother and I that Corbin and Ashley had prayed and felt led to each other in such a short time. They met on the mission field in South Africa, found a bond in their relationship with Christ and their called mission. Am I ready? Is a Daddy ever ready to stop being the protector, provider, and hero of his baby girl? Absolutely not! Am I at peace? Yes. If there is one person in this world that I trust to be able to hear God, it is Ashley Dawn Burk. If she feels like this is the one her mother and I have been praying for since the day she was born, then I am at peace and pleased to offer my blessing to them both. I hope you will be encouraging and helpful to them as well as they begin a long engagement period. Ashley will graduate with a degree in Communication theory, and a minor in Psychology and Spanish in December. Corbin will graduate with a degree in Christian Family counseling in May and they both plan to continue their education in pursuit of Master level training. They have planed to marry near September of 2009. We will keep you updated, but until then, lift them up with your words and prayers as they seek Gods plan together!

I hope you will all take just a second and rejoice with us as Ashley makes this huge step in her journey called life! I love you all and look forward to seeing you all around the world!
