GRAND FORKS, ND (August 27, 2008) \u2013 Ashley Young says her year as Miss North Dakota changed the way she sought God\u2019s guidance and experienced God\u2019s love; it also gave her a new sense of direction.
\n
\n\"\"The 20 year old grew up attending Hope Evangelical Covenant Church<\/a> in Grand Forks, North Dakota. She entered the state competition only because her vocal coach suggested that it would be good experience for her.<\/p>\n

She became convinced, however, that God placed her there so that she could be a light for him. She had no idea that her own relationship with God would change as well.<\/p>\n

The long stretches of being alone as she crisscrossed the state provoked part of that change. \u201cI\u2019d roll into a hotel room at three in the afternoon, and I wouldn\u2019t talk to another person until nine the next morning,\u201d Young says. \u201cIt was incredibly lonely. There\u2019s always a side of the job that most people don\u2019t anticipate and that was the one for me. It was definitely a struggle all the way through.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a really good time for God to teach me about myself and who he is,\u201d Young says. \u201cGod has always spoken to me through community. So it was very difficult learning how to seek God and hear from him in a new way. I had to be very intentional. It was a stretch.\u201d<\/p>\n

The experience also helped her confront a fear that might have kept her from fulfilling her duties. \u201cOne of my biggest fears has been being alone, going into a situation where I know nobody, where I have to make friends, or I have to go into a situation where I can get rejected,\u201d Young says.<\/p>\n

But, Young says, she learned, \u201cIt\u2019s OK to be alone; it\u2019s OK to not be doing something with someone all the time. That has been a gift to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The words of a judge at the Miss North Dakota competition also changed the way she approached her duties. \u201cThe day after I was crowned, one of my judges told me, \u2018There\u2019s no complaining.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t understand why he was giving her that advice. \u201cAt that point, this was something I had been praying for, and I was thinking, \u2018I\u2019m Miss North Dakota. Holy smokes, I\u2019m not going to complain at all.\u2019 But as the year went on, I understood it better. It was incredibly important for me to believe in my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

She did a lot of speaking and kept a schedule that would exhaust most people. \u201cI would have days and days and days where I would be in two or three towns in a day and be in two or three schools in each of those towns.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regardless of any hardships, Young says, \u201cThe joy I was given in my job overwhelmed everything else. I\u2019m there because I\u2019m Miss North Dakota and I get to speak into the lives of a lot of students.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"As she traveled, bringing her anti-bullying message to students, she began to change her perspective. \u201cI changed the focus from going in as Miss North Dakota and that I was going to enlighten these kids,\u201d she says. \u201cI decided I was going to go in as Ashley Young, and I have something to say, and by the way, I\u2019m Miss North Dakota, but that\u2019s not why I\u2019m here. I\u2019m here to challenge you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The change helped her win an audience with older students. \u201cThe older kids are usually turned off by speakers, but especially by Miss North Dakota because they think, \u2018She\u2019s just a beauty queen, a dumb blonde coming in to talk to us.\u2019 \u201d When those students could view Young as a person, they became more responsive.<\/p>\n

Those responses fueled Young\u2019s passion about fighting bullying. \u201cI can\u2019t even explain how much I\u2019ve been changed by boys and girls\u2014older kids\u2014talking of their bullying experience that led to thoughts of suicide.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the experiences she remembers most vividly was after she told one school audience that she first started speaking out against bullying after witnessing a physically challenged boy knocked to the ground when she was in high school.<\/p>\n

Afterward, a teacher in the audience came up to Young and asked if she had kept up with the young man. But Young had not seen him since that time.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe looked at me for a little while, and she started to tear up, and I could tell it was something really deep to her and I didn\u2019t understand why until she said, \u2018I think that was my son.\u2019 \u201d The teacher then thanked Young for her compassion and work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just broke down at that point,\u201d Young says. \u201cI never expected to bump into this boy\u2019s mom, but it just provided validity for what I was doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Young says she has been surprised how her message has spread. A story in the April 2008 issue of The Covenant Companion<\/em> that featured Young (and Miss America Kirsten Haglund, also a Covenanter) led a woman from California to write to her. She asked if Young would write her granddaughter, who was being bullied.<\/p>\n

Young wrote the girl and told her, \u201cPeople might say all sorts of things about you, but the only thing that matters is what Jesus Christ has said and done for you. He has shown you what your value is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was such a blessing,\u201d Young says. \u201cI felt so humbled that God would expand my influence so far outside my own state.\u201d<\/p>\n

The message she shared with the girl was yet another lesson that Young is continuing to learn herself. \u201cI went through most of my life, except for perhaps the last couple of months, thinking that I have no beauty, that I\u2019m not desirable by man or by God at times,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Young adds that she became even more convinced of that for a time while she was preparing for the Miss America competition. Stylists from TLC, the cable station that sponsored the pageant, would tell her, \u201cIf you wear these clothes, then you\u2019ll be beautiful. If you wear your hair this way, that\u2019s what real beauty is.\u201d Young admits, \u201cFor a while, my heart got sucked into that, and I was so focused on this outward beauty that was so shallow and so hollow and it left me so cold.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a finished process by any means, but over the last couple of months, God has really broken me,\u201d Young says.<\/p>\n

Young\u2019s year as Miss North Dakota ended in June, and this week she returned to classes at North Dakota State University in Fargo. She had once planned to become a professor of musicology, but the past year has changed her career goals.<\/p>\n

She now plans to pursue a bachelor of science in music, with a major or minor in business as well as leadership. Ultimately, however, she would like to continue doing motivational speaking.<\/p>\n

She is trying not to look too far down that road, however. \u201cThis past year has taught me to be at peace with whatever season of life God puts me in,\u201d Young says. \u201cIf you talk to anyone who knows me, they will tell you that\u2019s very hard for me because it\u2019s not natural for me. I\u2019m always looking five years into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now Young is asking questions such as, \u201cHow do I find God in the present? How do I find any sense of fulfillment where I am? How do I find a sense of purpose where I am?\u201d She adds, \u201cIt\u2019s a huge stretch. It\u2019s more difficult than it sounds.\u201d<\/p>\n
