I hope it does the same for you !<br /><br /><br />One Night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him and the other to the Lord.<br /><br />When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.<br /><br />This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you you'd walk with me all the way, but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me." The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."LESOIRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04726249373108644901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744620260171240126.post-4873038727591082232011-02-09T17:12:29.923-05:002011-02-09T17:12:29.923-05:00that is so awesome mya is doing so well and helpin...that is so awesome mya is doing so well and helping you out. and i am glad your going to school!!!

Now, we're grownup and have to be serious. I honestly truly believe that God has someone so special for you and your little one! He brought you to this point in your life for a reason :) And don't think that the forgiving aspect about yourself is bad! It's what makes you Ashley you are a good-hearted, forgiving individual ! That's the best kind of an individual! There is no doubt in my mind that you will find a great guy. I wish allllllll the best for you, Ashley! :)LESOIRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04726249373108644901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744620260171240126.post-74226173302077510022010-04-24T19:46:23.978-04:002010-04-24T19:46:23.978-04:00Thank you Jessica!

But actually, this is the world's standard for a leader. Leadership is about being part of a team, it is not a dictatorship. I have come to realize that leaders are those who have integrity and that can set a good example for others. God has shown me that you have to lead with your life.<br />I feel the same way at times, and wish I was more outgoing than I am. But then again, I would be "trying" to be someone I wasn't. God just wants us to be who He has called us to be. Real leaders are those who are teachable, humble, and willing to follow. God chose the 12 disciples to be his leaders in sharing the gospel, and all they had to do was be willing to give up their lives and follow Him. So be encouraged that you may not feel like a leader according to the world's standard, but you are a leader according to God's standard!<br /><br />- Jessica NiedermeierAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744620260171240126.post-65886421679325129002010-03-13T22:08:25.643-05:002010-03-13T22:08:25.643-05:00Your not different except for the fact that you ar...Your not different except for the fact that you are a great great person because there are alot of people out there who are not.

The only thing I can think to tell you is that you should be looking at your life through God's glasses, not the world's. This is the order that God has given you, ya know? And I understand the jealousy...but keep in mind-couples with the "right order" try for years and years to have one child. <br /><br />We FINALLY got my mother into an assisted living facility. Finally. After a year of trying. A whole year of worrying, fighting, crying, and begging God for deliverance. And do you know what? This facility is the perfect one for her because they had an opening and they are allowing her to come in at a discounted price (which is not allowed) so we can have some money left over to get her prescriptions, buy her clothes, etc... otherwise, she wouldnt have any money left. Our other family members would have to continue to support her. <br /><br />God's timing is perfect. I will pray for you friend! :-)Laurynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02340021813661409278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744620260171240126.post-76250771792828066812010-01-09T14:31:10.656-05:002010-01-09T14:31:10.656-05:00hahaha Hanna Tanna!hahaha Hanna Tanna!Laurynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02340021813661409278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744620260171240126.post-35380908732283519722009-12-23T10:46:07.214-05:002009-12-23T10:46:07.214-05:00I know, isn't it crazy?!

You are deffinitly a good example for what to do after you have made the boo boo of getting pregnant at a young age. I know it is a hard road, but keeping God first makes it easier. His Grace is sufficient. Mya is such a sweet, beautiful little girl. You are doing a great job. I'd be proud to call you my daughter. You keep up the great work. God bless you sweetheart. I look forward to reading your future blog posts. I am an "addicted" blogger too. I have had my blog since February of 2008. I enjoy it a lot. I too experience things and my first thought is, "I have to blog about this". Keep it up girl!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235320952995801412noreply@blogger.com
