I will not give up on praying for a Christmas miracle. I praise God that you can share the good as well as the awful with us, and we still know He's an awesome God. I'm so sorry for this and for the shattered surprise over Thanksgiving.

I went out with a bunch of girls the other night. They were talking about a Beth Moore teaching about "it is well with my soul." One of the mothers was talking about when her son was in ICU and God pressed this into her heart. Trish, I don't know how that can even be possible, that you'd be able to say "it is well with my soul", but I pray that God would help you to get to that place (and stay there) despite this most disappointing setback. I pray that 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 may be come reality in that little PICU room tonight, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and God of all comfort, who comforts us in our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." Trish, you are strong and Ashley is strong because you pull your strength from the Lord who holds the universe in His hand. Stay strong and make it back to Texas. With God, ALL things are possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-39308427528580410012007-11-19T23:12:00.000-06:002007-11-19T23:12:00.000-06:00When the valley is deepWhen the mountain is steepW...When the valley is deep<BR/>When the mountain is steep<BR/>When the body is weary<BR/>When we stumble and fall<BR/><BR/>Chorus:<BR/>In Jesus' name, we press on<BR/>In Jesus' name, we press on<BR/>Dear Lord, with the prize<BR/>Clear before our eyes<BR/>We find the strength to press on<BR/><BR/>When the choices are hard<BR/>When we're battered and scarred<BR/>When we've spent our resources<BR/>When we've given our all<BR/><BR/>Chorus:<BR/>In Jesus' name, we press on<BR/>In Jesus' name, we press on<BR/>Dear Lord, with the prize<BR/>Clear before our eyes<BR/>We find the strength to press on<BR/><BR/>In Jesus' name, we press on<BR/>In Jesus' name, we press on<BR/>Dear Lord, with the prize<BR/>Clear before our eyes<BR/>We find the strength to press on<BR/>To press onDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01198082344456465490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-74873383602816916912007-11-19T22:46:00.000-06:002007-11-19T22:46:00.000-06:00We are praying!

I remember from before what you said about the TPN, so I was really excited that she had fought her way off of it. I really truly wish there was more that I could do than just keep saying "we're praying," even though I know you know that is the most important part. I just wish you didn't keep getting so far with Ashley, just to have to start all over. I do know God has a plan. I can just perceive that it is not currently a very pleasant one to have to plow through and I wish I could take over for you for a while. He is still with you. I know you know that but with all that is happening, I'm just not sure how much you are getting to stop and concentrate on it. HE IS THERE. AND HE IS WORKING, SOMEHOW. Just know that as our prayers continue, they have and will ALWAYS include Ashley's comfort first, then her progress, and togetherness for the five of you is always right behind those. Hope you get some rest. It sounds like you'll once again have a lot of information to be dealing with. God be with you. And prayers that you will feel it tangibly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-75593857394363730242007-11-19T19:20:00.000-06:002007-11-19T19:20:00.000-06:00Cry all you like Trish...we're here....We are cryi...Cry all you like Trish...we're here....We are crying with you....I can't even begin to pretend to know how you feel...Praying Praying Praying.......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-52341452157898486222007-11-19T19:14:00.000-06:002007-11-19T19:14:00.000-06:00Praying with hope and expectancy.With love in Jesu...Praying with hope and expectancy.<BR/><BR/>With love in Jesus,<BR/>HollyHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00794673914973256109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-8686026704304435752007-11-19T19:11:00.000-06:002007-11-19T19:11:00.000-06:00Praying for you...wish I could be there to help lo...Praying for you...wish I could be there to help love on little Ashley.Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422562364097941505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-54265563822752650822007-11-19T19:07:00.000-06:002007-11-19T19:07:00.000-06:00I'm praying!I'm praying!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-53393472452204562862007-11-19T18:56:00.000-06:002007-11-19T18:56:00.000-06:00Unfortunatly I have no words either dear sweet Tri...Unfortunatly I have no words either dear sweet Trish!

He has a reason for all of this and He knows the outcome. I know it's easy for me to write this from Georgia when I'm not personally going through it, but I hurt and pray for you daily. I too have a princess for a daughter and can't stand to see her sick. I did a Bible Study earlier this year that taught me to call on God by name for different things. Call on JEHOVAH-ROPHE: "The Lord Who Heals" Ex. 15:22-26. From "rophe" ("to heal"); implies spiritual, emotional as well as physical healing. (Jer. 30:17, 3:22; Isa. 61:1) God heals body, soul and spirit; all levels of man's being.<BR/>I will pray to Jehovah-Rophe on Ashely's behalf.<BR/>Because He lives, we CAN face tomorrow.<BR/>PamThe Rutland Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02826598340671917137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-8731633012829706052007-11-19T18:51:00.000-06:002007-11-19T18:51:00.000-06:00I have no words for you.
