Someone Special to Me


I just wanted to type a quick post and thank the Lord for a extra special blessing to me. My husband and I have been married 20 years in May of this year. The Lord allowed us to have 11 years of married life without children and then blessed us with two beautiful children. This means that I am older mom with younger children. There are disadvantages and advantages to this way of life. One of the disadvantages is not having teenagers (when most of your friends do). Well the Lord has given my a teenager to love on. Not only can I love on her, but so can my children. We are in love with Ashley. She is our neighbor, and babysitter, and friend. Ashley is just been saved (4 months ago) and the Lord has allowed her to move in with her daddy who lives down the street from us. I have had the privilege of teaching Ashley femininity and Christian womanhood and we are having a blast. I love having an adopted teenager and we all love Ashley. I'm going to cry when she goes to college but I'm very thankful for the time we do have. I now REALLY feel we need to redeem the time. We love you Ashley.

Ashley is one of the nicest people and I am glad that God brought her to Grace Baptist and that She has you helping to learn the femine christian way.
