Even God reads Ashley's Journal!
How amazed I am every time I see Him work in Ashley's life. This morning one of my final sentences as I left Ashley's journal was how it had been 12 long days since I held Ash. He read my post and a couple of hours ago I was able to rock Ashley. How wonderful it was to hold her close to my heart again. After a few moments of her adjusting she pulled her purple blanket up over her eyes and began to play peek a boo with me. Oh how my heart smiled! She is so amazing. She hung in there and played with me for a while trying so very hard to get the word Ma ma out. Her voice is not quite there yet but it was obvious she was trying. The therapist came into to do some CPT on her and she took the intrument away and began hitting back. I laughed and laughed at her. Finally the therapist just gave up and let Ash teeth on her instrument. I did peek in her mouth and see that she has been hiding her lastest accomplishment from us. She has a new tooth! How proud I am for her. She didn't last long before she feel asleep in my arms as I sang and hummed one of our "original" songs. How thankful I am for this precious experience. I love Ashley so very much and have missed her personality. We only see little glimpses of it, but when she comes back to me I cherish every moment of it. I held her until she and I were close to sleep before I gently placed her into her bed. Thank you Father for letting me be her mommy.

Thank you Lord for giving Trish the chance to rock her baby to sleep. I pray that you would continue to bless this family, things that seem so small to us are such a blessing to them right now. Help them to be able to continue getting the much needed rest. We pray for all the families that are being touched by "Ashley's Story." Lord we know that You have a reason for everything you do....I pray that You continue to touch people through this family's journey. We should reach out and help each other more than we do, not just when there is something beyond our control. Trish has an amazing heart Lord, thinking of others with her ministry project even in the midst of her storm. We sometimes forget we can do little things, help us to remember not to wait for something big to get busy doing what we are called to do. We get so busy that we sometimes lose track of what our lives are supposed to be used to do. I pray that You would help those that have lost their way to get back on the road to You. In Your Name I Pray, Amen.
