Well, you are probably keeping up with my journal blog about Ashley.  If you haven’t read her update, please stop and read that before you continue. 

This isn’t an update on Ashley, however as I was reading my Bible this morning, I asked God to allow me to be encouraged, to give me just one verse to strengthen me for the long day ahead.  Well, the Lord is good, and his mercy really does endure!

Psalm 56:4, “In God I will praise his word, in God have I put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.”

You notice how the verse says ‘flesh’ instead of ‘man’!  That was just awesome and amazing!  I have always heard similar verses that explain ‘I will not fear what ‘man’ can do unto me’, but this was the nail on the head.

God was saying, just stop Jessica and trust in me, don’t worry if she has a disease, I am still hear and will always be here. 

Well, to God my response is, Thank you Lord, for always reminding me that you are listening, helping, and holding me just when I need you.  You have always proven your love, grace, and mercy when I know I don’t deserve it.  Thank you for watching over my little one and wrapping her in your loving arms.  I pray you be her strength through her life and guide her where you will.
