Happy New Year 2009!
Wow! What a great year 2008 was….though it did have some sad times. I started school and made 2 “A’s” and a “B”, watched my little girl turn 9, celebrated my first year anniversary to my husband and on a sad time buried my Mom (but I know she is celebrating a New Year with Jesus right now)! I realized some things about myself that I never knew both good and bad! 
I look forward to what God has in store for me in 2009. I have quite a few speaking opportunities that I very much look forward to and lots of school that I am excited about as well. I look forward to growing closer to my Saviour Jesus Christ and learning more about Him and His plan for me….I look forward to watching my little girl jump into double digits in age ( I tried to push the pause button a few years ago but it didn’t work!!!!) and I look forward to growing deeper in love with my husband, who I believe is my true soulmate.
Thanks to all of you who have wished me well, prayed for me and sent me encouraging notes. Please know this…we all have a story to tell of how the Lord has blesssed our lives and changed them forever. Please live for Him out loud! There are so many lost people in the world who think God could not possibly love them after everything they have done ( I know I was one of them a few years ago) but we need to share the truth with them that Jesus came for EVERYONE…the sick, the poor, the good, the bad and there is nothing to bad for Jesus! The Bible says, “For by grace we have been saved through faith… Ephesians 2:8. God Bless You All!

Ashley,
I really know what you are going through and I am sorry about your mom. I must have been real hard to see her go.
I am 13 years old and I have read your book Unlikely Angel so many times, and every time I read it I cry. I am really glad you have gone to school. I really can connect to your book. But, I really don’t want to get into it so sorry.
Well, I have to go in school
