I am blessed! Blessed to have you as my daughter, I miss you so very, very much! He heals my brokeness in heart and bindeth up my wounds." Psalm 147:3 Blessed because I know you Lord walk beside her, I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me." Psalm 23:4 my eternal confidence. Blessed because in this world of unrighteousness Christ Jesus is the saviour of my body and soul. Blessed because I know your love, God commendeth His love toward me, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 Blessed because I can put on the armour of God and stand against the wiles of the devil! Blessed because when sorrow comes I know Christ Jesus has over-come and I/You have the victory. I love you baby girl Merry Christmas

It has been 3 years and 9 months since I last seen the radiant smile of my beautiful daughter. Memories are the ones you can’t put into words, you just play them back treasuring each moment you have in their life ~ the registry of conscience and the council-chamber of thought. ~ Time does not always heal all things it just gets you another day closer to home. The journey is base on your faith. I love you and I give thanks to my Lord for everyday! With regard to meeting my daughter in heaven one day, God, in all His wisdom, chose to leave many things about heaven unrevealed. There are some things that I could not comprehend; others that are simply unspeakable (2 Corinthians 12:4). What we do know, however, is that heaven is a place where we will need nothing more, want nothing more than to worship Jesus for eternity. I’m a citizens of heaven sojourning for a time on earth. He will not leave me comfortless; He will come to and comfort me Love never fails.

Meditate on These Things
1Corinthians 15:51-52 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
I find comfort in knowing the promises of God. I know without a doubt my beautiful Ashley and our love ones that have went before us has this blessed assurance.
Revelation 21:4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” I do believe in angels And I do know that if our love ones at home in Heaven were able to see and hear the things of earth they truly would have sorrow! We server a jealous God. Deuteronomy 4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. John 5:28-29 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. But the Apostle John wrote an entire chapter to assure God's people that they are indeed God's people. "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God: that ye may know that ye have eternal life . . ." (1 John 5:13). Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. I find it of great comfort in knowing God will wipe away my tears; there will be other saints going to be with our Lord, sorrow will continue to be apart of our lives, crying will be comforted only by God’s mercy. God’s grace shall cover our pain, for the former things are still to come. I love and miss my baby girl everyday, each and every moment. Today I’m another day nearer to Home!
Love Mom

"Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice." Psalm 55:17
I miss you so very much! Today would be a good day we could go for a walk, at times I hear your voice, your laugh, I see your smile and reminded I am not home! Today it’s a beautiful day the trees are green the birds they still sing. Today I find my reason to rejoice and sing O Lord give me strength for today is a new day and I praise your name. I love you from the very bottom of my heart all the way to heaven baby girl Love your Mom!!

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath and make me pure.

While I draw this fleeting breath,
When I close my eyes in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
And behold Thee on Thy throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath and made me pure.

I long for Your salvation, O LORD,And Your law is my delight.
My day has been long and my heart finds only comfort in you my Lord
Love your Moma

Being My Age

Most people my age are into so many things like late night parties that usually end up with half of the crowd either pass out or high on weekend nights. You could find some enjoying the latest hits in the theaters with latest hits in the theaters with a nice dinner before. Entertainment for those my age is simple there is the computer for Myspace addicts, the iPods for music lovers and the T.V. of course for those MTV re-runs. A typical day of school: the dreaded wake up call comes first, a race to school to make it to class on time just before the bell rings, sit through the bore and excitement of the four classes required, then end the day by heading off to sports, work or home.
Being me, I find myself on the weekend spending time with my lovely boyfriend, crazy friends and wonderful family. I will say that you will not find me at a party passed out or high on weekend nights. To keep myself entertained I walk on weeknights with my mother, watch my favorite T.V. show, talk to my boyfriend and joke around with my brother. My school day is just like any others, but after school, I go to work with my mom. After work when I arrive home, I finish Homework and relax.
I love you with all heart, Love Mom

Happy Birthday
To my gift, my daughter and my friend

There is nothing more rewarding

than being your mom.
I think back of the first day how perfect you are.
I remember hearing you cry, your little hands and your little feet.
I wondered what you might think,

as you looked at me,
with not a word.
The security you found in my arms,

as you lie on my chest I listen as you breath
Remember I will do my best was my plea
your skin so soft, you cuddle close the sweet baby scent.
I know in my heart you are heaven sent
The warmth the peace
brings meaning and purpose
fulfilling my destiny no longer half hearted.
You climb up on my lap once again,
Happy Birthday
My smiling friend
Over the course of time
you have blossomed and grown, your generous heart
your smiling face The laughter the love,
I know in my heart you are from heaven above
My gift, my daughter and my friend
From a child I watch as you act so independent,

your first part in the 1st grade play
helping you with your words to say.

Remembering you turning five like it was yesterday.
your too busy for cuddles and kisses,
hoping you don’t have to grow up too fast,
I hold you close, still so sweet and soft as you sleep,
One more lullaby I sing.
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen
My gift, my daughter and my friend
with a life of your own you began. The gift I hold close, my memories they start, I will hold each of them close to my heart.
Being there with you through the joy and the pain
knowing in life the disappointments when they came.
And for all of the many feelings that life will take you through.
Being there My gift, my daughter and my friend As the years press through Remember I will do my best was my plea
Happy Birthday
One more What a gift you are to me
Happy Birthday
To my gift, my daughter and my friend LOVE mom

"O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you,
in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.
Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me."
Psalm 68:1-8

I have been so blessed by such dear, loving friends and family. God is a loving merciful God and each day knowing by the power of Christ that her precious life has touched so many, I am humbled to be her mom. The encouragement from each of my dear sisters and brothers in Christ strengthens the days to come and gives light in the darkest time. Ashley is with her Lord, in the assurance knowing this comforts the loneness inside.
It has been 2 years and 12 months. My heart longs for the day to come home.

I love and miss you Love Mom

Life is a vapor
So quickly fading
It only lasts a season then it's gone
And I have chosen
To live each moment
Depending on a strength beyond my own

For even thought my weakness
I am learning to believe
That through my silent faith
Somebody will see

When I am gone
What will they say
When I am gone
Will I leave behind a witness
That will carry on
When all the works and deeds that I have done
Dissolve into the past
Lord, let Your fire burn steadfast
When I am gone

I look around me
And see the darkness
Within a world where few are set apart
And then I wonder
Have I been faithful
To share the hope that lives within my heart

For when I tell another
What the savior's love can do
They just might be the one
To reach out to you

Performed by- 4Him

Christmas has come and gone another year has passed

All seems to fade and everyone is back too there everyday.

My love for you sweet girl is evermore strong! Not a day goes by that your precious smiling face gives me great delight and a heart full of greay joy.

I find in this day of Thanksgiving a place not complete, but a heart longing for the day of my home coming. Rejoice in God's blessings in my life. Knowing one day I will see her beautiful face again and I will one day look into the face of my Christ my Savior. Nip that temptation in the bud to complain and grumble about your life today look around at all the many blessings that are given each day of our life I Thank you Lord for grace and powerful love that carries me through each day I love you baby girl, Mom

"Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." Philippians 4:6

2010-10-13T21:16:00.010-04:00

I find myself over whelmed thinking I had planned for your live according to dreams I had for you baby girl, dreams that one day I would see you

walk to receive your educational goals, you would be married to your soul mate, that I would one day look into the eye’s of may beautiful

grandbaby and see her mother when she smiled

and now I find them alter too where, I prayed that you one day would be. It’s just that God has bigger planes to how and when you would get there. for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your soul
Even though my dreams seem big my desire is greater, that one day I will join you at the feet of Christ. I find comforter knowing you are home with our Lord. The Lord planned a different route and turn the dream around, as if it were a riddle, and fulfills the dream in ways we couldn’t have expected. I love you baby girl and I miss your smiling face. I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. I will maintain my love to the Lord forever, and my covenant with Him will never fail. Until that day you stay close in heart and mind. I love you, your Mom

Two years, seven months, four days ago, my sweet daughter having been taken away from us fora short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored more eagerly to see your face with great desire. I'm looking forward to coming to you, time and again. I can not say that it has gotten easier only nearer to the day I come home. Whenever I face situations I am having a hard time understanding, I have learn! I have to park my mind, with what I know to be true. Keeping my mind, saturated with truth, keeps Satan from being able to whisper dangerous assumptions, false accusations, and faith-eroding perspectives. Part of God's perfect provision for my life is to walk through this and to know, for you are with the Lord the glory and joy. My foundation, Blessed assurance. I love you more today than yesterday Love your ♥ Mom

Happiness requires that things go your way and that circumstances are just right.

Joy, on the other hand, is much deeper

and can withstand the trials and sorrows- that is if your joy comes from the Lord.

These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you,and that your joy might be full ( John 15:11)

2010-06-30T10:25:00.008-04:00

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretast of glory divine! Heir of salvation,

purchase of God, born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long; this is my story, this is my song, praising my savior all the day long.

Prefect submission, prefect delight, visions of rapture now burst on my sight; angels descending bring from above, echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest; I in my Savior am happy and blest, watching and waiting looking above, filled with His goodness, lost in His love

I love you, mom

2010-05-24T18:57:00.002-04:00

I miss you so much!! I Love you so much more!!

2010-04-12T23:08:00.008-04:00

I love you Love mom

Lord, hear me as I call out to You. Whether my problems are huge or tiny, I find I need Your help to get me through. Pull me up into Your loving arms, and surround me in Your love. As my heart longs for your comfort. Forgive me when I fail you Lord allow me your grace; in communion with you my Lord

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen. 2 Corinthians 13:14

2010-04-05T07:58:00.003-04:00

Happy Easter baby girl

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life,neither angels nor demons, neither our

fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love

Happy Birthday
When I held you for the first time, I knew then this life wasn't just mine.
Happy Birthday Ashley to my precious daughter my gift, my love ♥
Thank my Lord for time you give
　
John 14:18
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you
His comfort will not fail or falter
He will never lead you somewhere and then abandon you; He will never assure you of His presence and then desert you; He will never call you to His presence and turn aside.
His comfort will always be there at the perfect moment, even in the midst of the most difficult circumstances
His promise I will hold I Love you baby girl
Love your Mom

2010-02-09T22:28:00.002-05:00

Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart. I love my baby girl , I think about you constantly, My faith makes things possible, not easy. And without hope life is meaningless. I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. The difficulties of life are intended to make us better

and to survive every moment in life.
　 Love in Christ

2010-02-02T22:27:00.003-05:00

God has listened and heard my voice in prayer
Hebrews 10:36
For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. I love an miss her so much, I know that only the power and love of God can carry me through each day knowing His promise and grace.
I Love you Mom

Glories stream from heaven afar, heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love's pure light; radiant beams from thy holy face with the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth, Christ the Savior is born.

Dear Lord, I celebrate with You the assignments You have for me, big and small. I reflect today on the "Mary moments" I've had. With fear, trembling, my faith and the excitement, I wait on the next one. You are a right-on-time God. Thank You for choosing me to be part of Your story. With each assignment, help me to respond like Mary by saying, "May it be to me as you have said. “In Jesus' Name, Amen. Luke 1:38, NIV

2009-11-22T23:14:00.002-05:00

O how I miss her everyday more and more

I Thank Thee O Lord for your love, righteousness
patience and forgiveness And for the cross.
I thank you for watching over my precious son I thank you Lord for both your promises,

that you are my Lord and that one day I will see my beautiful daughter again,

her beauty will be multiplied

And for the stormy clouds and testing winds which keeps me humble,

and holding ever so to your being.

I thank thee in your abundant mercy in forgiveness of my iniquity, and transgressions

And for the waning joy;

And for this strange, this settled peace

Which nothing can destroy.

2009-09-28T04:24:00.003-04:00

Lord, may nothing separate me from You today. Teach me how to choose only Your way today so each step will lead me closer to You. Help me walk by the truth and not my feelings.
I awake early in the morning. Many people are rolling over and going back to sleep my soul is longing to get up and spend time with my Lord
Though I can't physically see Him, I know He is present.
His perspective on things that are troubling me overshadow my anxiety. I feel relief in His presence.
I know my emptiness without you, I will go unfed longing being unsatisfied. My pain I can not carry, I give it to You Lord.
Help me to embrace what comes my way as an opportunity...rather than a personal battle within me, my Lord.
You already see all the many ways I will surely fall short and mess up.

But right now, I consciously tuck Your whisper of absolute love for me into the deepest part of my heart. I recognize Your love for me is not based on my performance. You love me and carry me in times of adversities. Your mercy, how amazing I‘m humbled. But what's most amazing is that the God of the Universe, the Savior of the world, would desire a few minutes with me this morning.

Lord, help me to forever remember what a gift it is to sit with You like this. You are my comforter, my shield, my salvation.

Dear Lord, I love You. You are the desire of my hearts every beat. I know and confess that sometimes my actions and reactions betray my love for You. Please forgive me. Thank You for Your grace that is able to recognize this new day as a new chance to walk closer with You. My Alfa and Omega, Amen

"Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name." Psalm 86:11 (NIV)

2009-08-25T10:08:00.003-04:00

Dear Lord, when life starts looking cloudy, help me to remember that the sun is still shining. Help me to take my negative, defeating thoughts captive and shift my perspective. Most of all help me to remember that as one of Your children, I will someday shine like the sun in Your kingdom.

Daniel 12:3, "Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.

Psalm 33:13-22

13 From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind; 14 from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth- 15 he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do. 16 No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. 17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. 18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, 19 to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. 20 We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. 21 In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. 22 May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you.

1 Corinthians 13:4-13
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

I hope and have faith finding strength only in Him! He is the one that is carrying me, comforting me. My hope is in Him He is Love the Love I longed for all my days! I am nothing without my LORD
I miss you

Isaiah 40:28-31
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

You think no one knows the pain you bear.But there is one,

and He*s always there.
Those tears you cry in the dark of the night

He is there with you holding you tight
Jesus knows every mile in this journey you take He knows every pain and every heartache
This road your walking seems dark and alone But He has walked it before you He*s crossed every stone
Those times you feel you*re losing ground That*s when His hand is reaching down To help you bear the load For He has walked this same road
There is coming a day when these tears will be no more When you*ll walk together with, Ashley right beside our Lord
As all the saints gather to welcome you home She*ll be there too, and the loneliness will be gone
And you*ll talk of how you made it through

And how Jesus was there to welcome you
You*ll walk together hand in hand

She*ll be your tour guide to the promise land
And never more will you be apart For you*ll

spend eternity together heart to heart
So until then just keep on singing

Until then keep praising the Lord

Until the day your eyes behold that city

Until the day God calls you home.

When you feel a gentle breezeCaress you when you sighIt’s a hug sent from HeavenFrom a loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindropLands upon your noseThey’ve added a small kissAs fragile as a rose.
If a song you hear fills youWith a feeling of sweet loveIt’s a hug sent from HeavenFrom someone special up above.
If you awaken in the morningTo a bluebird’s chirping songIt’s music sent from HeavenTo cheer you all day long.
If tiny little snowflakesLand upon your faceIt’s a hug sent from HeavenTrimmed with Angel lace.
So keep the joy in your heartIf you’re lonely my dear friendHugs that are sent from HeavenA broken heart will mend.

Ephesians 3:17-20

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Happy New Year 2009
The Lord sees our pain He knows our every need! Everyday is a challenge and every defeat Is glory to our Lord Jesus Christ.

I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord" (Psalm 40:1-3).O God, I trust in You. You are my refuge, my rock, and my daily help. Amen.

All dressed in our very finest. Reflecting times when living was different when the holidays had more faces. The grief has me feeling all -consumed at times, I tend to forget that Christ is right here with me! Now I look around us, nothings like it used to be. Now just memories. ’I smile through my tear-blurred vision and thanked God for His comfort, and for the hope I have in Him. I thanked Him for sustaining me through this journey of grief. I thank my God I am thankful that I can be content that I have Christ and He is all I need, for all we've seen and done, for when we started out and now have grown as one. How many more Thanksgivings will I see before I go? How many times will faces change? Of this we just don't know.

Dear Lord, thank You for this day. Thank You for Your Son and Your Spirit, given to me. Thank You for the provision of shelter and food I have today. And Lord, thank You for this reminder to become more mindful of my blessings. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV)

This is how I must start my day to find strength; it’s only in Christ! It’s a lonely life when you loss something so dear to you! Adversity seems like medical handicap!
I must look for the Lord’s part in my adversity, or I'll miss it. I’m not simply to endure suffering; I’m to grow and mature through it. The best way to develop this attitude is to thank Him every day for the spiritual growth in my life. For His wonderful gift My Ashley and Regis by allowing me to be apart of her life! And for Regis to see my strength in our Lord. This is an everyday (new) routine that I must do!
I know that I am a child of God. I am saved. I have become united with Christ. I am sealed with the Holy Spirit. My eternal destiny is determined, and nothing can change that. The Lord will never leave me nor forsake me. Nothing can touch me apart from what my heavenly Father allows. All things will work together for my good since I love God and have been called according to His purpose in Christ.
I Love you Ashley, Mama
Someone said to me! Do you ask why? I answered in a humble heart, No! God dose not owe me that! I would like to share this with you as a parent! With great Love in Christ!!!

He saw a stairway and the angels ascending and descending on it.

Genesis 28:12 NIV

God's promise to Abraham, Isaac and offered to Jacob as well. As Jacob dreamed he was able to see a ladder set upon the earth and it reached into heaven and he saw angels of God! The promise was given! I have no grounds to bargain with my Lord. I would like to have that ladder to see (Gods) my angels. Maybe I will dream! Its about my personal relationship with my Lord. My prayer is that one day I for the glory of God, will be a part of His greatness! I have been blessed and a blessing she is. A difficult road, I will have to follow this I am sure. But I AM promise to hold my hand and carry me if I need! Patience is the hardest when we need it the most, but it is the key to achieving the goal. I miss her more and more everyday, just moving forward is the hardest for me! I miss you my sweet angel!!

Romans 8:37NIV

We are more than conquerors through Him who loves us

I Love You Ashley

Beautiful smiles!

I have been reading the comments on the blog! I thank each of you, for taking the time and sharing, giving encouragement! Allowing me to hear how God is still working thru Ashley and the love that she shared. It means so much to me, I'm so privilege to be her mom. I guess this is the way, I trade daily trials for that joy! Some nights I'm not able to sleep or get to bed on time, my spirit is restless. I haven't been able to focus and I look over the site. I say very little at times but it dose help me, when I read over them! The last post was at graduation, everything was so well put together! The class of 2008, done a memory garden. They named it Ashley's garden it's very nice! I've been doing somethings to keep it looking nice while the students are out for the summer! I've really enjoyed just sitting out under the tree's! I hope that the student's will enjoy it just as much. Taking a walk or just looking out at God's great creation and hearing its cheerfulness, it seem to embrace me. I find myself holding my faith close to me during this time. I have not finished the book I started reading, 90 minutes in Heaven, of a death and life, true story writer Don Piper. I just started reading it, it's something I think I need to hold off on reading at the time! Everyone has said it has given them a new perspective. I'll read it soon, I'd like to hear of the miracles he shares! Well I ask for your prayers, I'm grateful for each one of you! May my life be a living prayer to the Lord, as long as there is a need in my life and in the world. This is not my home, help me to be humble, make in me a clean heart and mind and fill me with your mercy Lord! Thank you Lord for my beautiful daughter I love her and my son very, very much! The picture of Ashley is with one of her students Madison, they both have such beautiful smiles

Monroe's Graduation Friday May 23, 2008 at 6:pm

This was the day that Ashley looked forward to as you've read. Ashley's plans for her future seem so complete. Going off to college was her big step, we talked about it! I told her please be careful don't go anywhere without your friends and always seek to encourage all who cross your path! Love with no strings attached. Feed your soul with the word of God and if you ever grow weak please call your mom or a Christian friend, stay close to the Lord! Pray everyday and never forget someone (I'm) praying for you! You must be the change you wish to see in the world! She told me that, she one day would start her home close to me, so that I could watch my grand babies while she worked on the future!

Ashley,

We are so blessed to be apart of your life! We have grown and shared many wonderful memories together, as you mature into this amazing young lady.

I pray that your values and character are essential qualities to your achievements in your career. To your New journeys, New experiences, New milestones dream of your future, and i ask you to never stop reaching for the highest star my sweet angel!

This is what I would say, I know she went on to a bigger plan and remember she will be watching over you!

To Ashley's classmates and cherished friends

Go start New journeys, New experiences, New milestones

dream of your future you can make it happen! I love each of you

and I'll be praying for our future

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world

Monroe Area High School Awards Ceremony 2008

I have watched her grow into this beautiful young lady, Ashley has lived a vibrant life and the Lord has used her in so many ways. I'm able to see the love THE LORD has shown thru Ashley in all her friends and to anyone she meets. The teachers and school had an Awards Ceremony Thursday MAy 15, at 7:30am for the Senior 2008 class they honored the FBLA Ashley Bond Peters Scholarship award and spoke of Ashley's student council service award, some of the staff put together a speech in the memory of Ashley I was truly humbled to be apart of this program to see all the lifes the Lord touched thru Ashley's sweet spirit. I pray that they know just how much this means to me. I love each and every one of them so very much!

I Love You So Much Ashley, Love Mom

This picture was taken when she was starting to pull up in her bed at 9 months. She was the sweetest baby, I would hold her and watch her sleep, her favorite song was amazing grace and this little light of mine!

Morning came and a new day has been given. It has been a beautiful day, brighten by the grace of our Lord and His spirit so present! I'm so grateful for all the prayers and all the Love that is shown, my family and myself are so blessed to have such a loving church family. I read a bible scripture from 1John4:7 "beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God! Ashley is with God and so loved. Sunday night at church a prayer request was given and it was for a local church in Social Cirle, Georgia the church needs prayer and I ask you to help by praying for them and the trouble that this family has, I ask that you keep them in your prayers, and ask God to over come with His power and let His presents be seen! May the Lord lift your spirit, encourage your heart, build your faith,and brighten your day.

I Love You so very much Ashley, I could feel your spirit about this day. Thank You God for Loving

Me!

Ashley's smile can brighten any day.

I've not been sharing much lately, I have been reading a lot, done a lot of thinking, and holding on to every word we last shared every minute we last had together! I'll be strong l know, but it's so hard when part of yourself is never going to be the seem ever again. The book I'm reading now is My Dream Of Heaven By Rebecca Ruter Springer, It was given to me in Memory of James Ross by His Mother Sandy Roberts. I received a call the other morning from Les Roberts a wonderful Godly Man that shared some comforting words and prayed with me! Thank You, God for Showing yourself when I seem to be at my weakest point! I can not imagine going though life without knowing my Lord! I pray that God will allow me to dream, and in my dream i would love to hold her in my arms again and hear her say I Love you mom and i would say to her I love you to my angel!
I will go now but will write again soon! Please keep us in your prayers!

Love in Christ,
Tammy Ashley's mom

This picture was taken on her 2year old birthday.

This morning you could hear the birds singing just out side my window, they seem so happy. I just listen, maybe to have the comfort of knowing God gives me something so small, but brings great comfort just in time. Another day, I will go to the Lord and ask for strength to take part in this day for His glory. So protect me, Lord, for the rest of my days, so I can fulfill your will. I love you so much Ashley

Love, Mom

Madeline with Ashley at her 18Birthday Party!

If i knew it would be the last time,

If I knew it would be the last day I would have! I would have planned it completely with no backouts! I would video every action and word you said, so I could play them back day after day.If I knew that February 09, would be the last time, I'd see you fall asleep, I would have tucked you in more tightly and watched you sleep. If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you, I would have made your favorit breakfast, pancakes and sat down to talk just a little while longer, my hug would have been longer and I would have looked into your eyes and give you a kiss and went back for one more. As I would have told you, I love you and stop to see you and hear you say, I love you too mom and went on my way! If only; I knew!!! We always think, i'll see you later or surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and to make everything just right. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike. So live today like their's no tomorrow! I would say! And If tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today! I Love you Ashley

The Future

In the future I see myself graduating from high school on May twenty third of two thousand and eight. In the fall of two thousand and eight I will attend Gainesville State University for a few years to build up all of the classes that I need to take in order to transfer. Then I will transfer to the University of Georgia and graduate form there with a master’s degree in business. Next I will begin to create my own childcare business to own and manage.
A family is one of the main things that I want for myself in the future. Having a family is very important to me. I hope to fall even more deeply in love with my high school sweet heart and marry him. Then I would wish start our own big family together, where we will live happily together watching are children grow and their children grow.

Friendship

Before we even knew each other, my best friend and me were both going through hard times. She and I were in the fourth grade, but we went to two different schools. I went to Colham Ferry Elementary School in Watkinsville, and she want to Monroe Elementary School in Monroe. She cried and begged her mom just about every single day not to make her go to school. She didn’t want to go to school because she didn’t have any friends in her class. On the other hand, my mom had just gotten married, and I was going to have to switch schools. I really didn’t look forward to changing school and making new friends. My first day at Monroe Elementary School was wonderful; my teacher’s name was Mrs. McCartney, and I made a new friend on that very day. Ever since my first day at Monroe Elementary School, that friend and I have been the very best of friends Ever Since.

Ashley Jordan Daniel has been my best friend since the fourth grade. She is one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me. She has always been there for me through thick and thin. I know for a fact that Ashley and I will be the best of friends till the end.

Ashley Bond Peters – a child of God.

Walton County shook, dreams where shattered and hearts were broken Sunday morning, February 10, 2008 at the news of the fatal crash that sent Ashley Bond Peters home to her LORD. Everyone knows that Ashley is rejoicing at the feet of her Savior. It is our selfishness that wishes she was still with us. But as her mother Tammy has said, we can’t be selfish. Everyone that knew Ashley loved her and loved her smile. I was overwhelmed by the outpouring of love that one so young could impart to her community. According to many reports Ashley’s funeral was one of the largest that Arthur Bowick had experienced in all his years as a funeral director for Walton County. God’s glory has been revealed through this tiny vessel of Ashley. In her death she has been the tool that God has chosen to lead several to Christ. God be praised for the work of this young woman. If you are one of these that has turned to the Lord Christ as your Savior for the first time or are returning to Him, now know that, “he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6. Ashley’s work on earth was done. The Lord she loved and kept in her heart carried her home and welcomed her with opens arms.
I was sitting in Sunday School when Pastor Callaway called Ashley’s father Wade Peters from the class. We all stopped, we knew something was wrong, we paused our lesson to say a silent prayer. Before we resumed our lesson our interim Pastor, Kevin Smith announced to our Sunday School class the news of Ashley’s death. We were not prepared for such news as this. No one can be, we do not know when any of our lives will end. “Moreover, no man knows when his hour will come: As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so men are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them.” Ecclesiastes 9:12. Ashley would have you know her LORD. Go to Him today. He is waiting for you. As Pastor Callaway expressed at Ashley’s funeral, it is true. God is real, His love is real, He desires YOU. “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 “God is Love” 1 John 4:8
We will miss Ashley Bond Peters, but her witness remains with us and God’s glory is revealed.
Teresa Johnson

A new day !

February 25, 2008

Started out with prayer, asking for the comfort and grace to get through this day and be able to give Him the gorily!

To someone who has went through such heartache

May God be with you.It's been 15 days and seems

like it just happen,

I know that she's with her Lord now and that gives me peace.

The heartache is, that we will never make any more memories

together I will hold on to those we have made dearly
