Confirmation #3 of Samson Day...

So, this is the 2nd confirmation while at work, that our son is coming to us from God.
I talked to a lady tonight by the name of Connie Young Chung...(If I'm wrong, I appologize Connie), and she said that God gave her a word to give me which was John 10:10, and said that God told her I would have more abundant eggs...I was so excited in my spirit and my eyes got real wide when she said that, I quickly took note of what she was saying, she spoke English, but not very fluently and didn't understand much of what I was saying...she kept saying she had an invisible God and that she walked by faith and not by sight! Which I just made some graphics last night that said that! Confirmation of God's blessing to us!
I got a good report from the Lord today, my cervical test came back negative! Praise God! :) God is Good all the time, and all the time He is Good!

John 10:10 (New International Version)
10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.


In my mind God is saying, the devil may have thus far been trying to steal, kill, and destroy your fertility, through past bad experiences, and disease, but now I am coming to save the day and give you life-and what's more life than a new life a baby- and have it come to "Full" term!

I truly beleive that God is behind us 100% and just like he said to me when we rang in 2010, it is our year!
God whispered that to me then and I will have faith and believe that He still means it in the way he's confirming everything!

Love,
Ash

Confirmation Raining Down!

So...I have received 2 more statements of confirmation from the Lord our God...
The first was the song by Yolanda Adams called "This Too Shall Pass"...here are the lyrics...
In the middle of the turbulence surrounding you
These trying times that are so hard to endure
In the middle of what seems to be your darkest hour
Hold fast your heart and be assured

This too shall pass
Like every night that's come before it
He'll never give you more than you can bear
This too shall pass
So in this thought be comforted
It's in His Hands
This too shall pass

The Father knows the tears you cry before they fall
He feels your pain, His heart and yours are one
The Father knows that sorrow's heavy chains are strong
But with His strength, you'll overcome

So set your eyes upon the mountain
And lift your hands up to the sky
And let His arms of love surround you
And take you to the other side


Also, today, while I was on my lunch hour, I was getting a newspaper, and was leaving the store that I was at, and blown over in some dusty and debri, and leaves, was a fortune cookie, fully wrapped, unopen, now I'm not one to pick up things like this, but as I walked past it looked down at it and started to get into my car to leave something told me to pick it up...and I know why it did, it was God's sign to me that he is here with us going through this with His arms around us!
It said "You tend to look to the things above, to the higher things in life!" or something to that effect, I'll have to go find it again it's in my car and post the real saying, but I never pay attension to astrology, fortune, or anything, but I knew at that moment, that God wrote that fortune cookie!

Romans 15:13

Joy, Peace, & OVERFLOWING HOPE

May the God of Hope fill you with all joy, and peace,
as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with Hope, by the
power of the Holy Spirit.

This is really something that I needed to hear today, I was researching discernment online, and I found this scripture totally out of the blue, I shouldn't say out of the blue, it's NEVER just out of the blue with God, it's a God wink, it's a confirmation!!!

This is the 3rd one that we've received since we've received word from God that we should name him Samson.

This is just the best verse EVER (but, then again, I say that about ALL of the Word of God) It always seems to find me, right when I need it, but then again, God's timing is always perfect!!

Praise God!! Praise God!!
My Hope will now be overflowing!!!

Ponderment...(?)

Is Ponderment a word??
Anywhoo...something has come across that needs much prayer.
My job is offering a promotional position for a supervisor.
I've a) always wanted to be a supervisor here
b) always wanted to work overnights here lately
c) would love only working 3 days a week!
I need to pray to God for discernment though because I'd
a) be working every weekend
b) be working every Sunday!!
c) be heading up a program that's coming to the building.
I've been thinking and weighing the positives and negatives though...I've been wanting to go to thirds to
The Positives:
1. get away from a certain couple people that work days..(well, 2nds)
2. would be relaxing, and peaceful and a lot less stressful
3. wouldn't have to do mundane programs that I've done the last year...
4. would be a pay raise, but would equal out to the same really
5. would put in my God given talent and that's helping/shaping/molding agents
6. lunch would be an hour!
7. Would practically be a stay at home mom(to be)/wife like I've always wanted
with having 4 days at home with the little one.
8. Mom would probably be able to babysit most of the time for our little one
because I'd have the weekends to work.
9. Charlie has week days off anyway, so I'd be off with him more on his days off, which would include the baby.
10. When we do move back to Decatur area, we can have our furbabies.
11. When we moved back to that area, I would only have to drive 3 days to Taylorville, and not 5.
12. I could still go to church, it would just be on Wednesdays, and when we make the move we'd be a lot closer to church, and still close to shopping, and close to my brother.
The Negatives:
1. Wouldn't really be much of a pay raise, but more stress/responsibility
2. 12 hour days
3. Wouldn't see certain people that I do like as much
4. Would be all alone if I have a question.
5. Sleeping pattern would be crazy.
6. Would be every weekend


Please dear God direct me and lead me in the way you want me to go.

Learning and Nutrition!!!

Okay, so for 2010 I made a promise to myself that I would get healthy, so for getting healthy, this doesn't mean constantly watching the scale, going on some diet, drinking some shake, or taking some pill...doesn't America need to wake up and smell what the Good Lord gave us or what?!
We need to take every opportunity to introduce something new into our diet and eat things that nature intended us to eat!
I cannot believe the benefit of purchasing a little $20 book would do me! I recently purchased the Biggest Loser Simple Swaps and have learned so much nutritionally...like we all should, it's amazing! I thought I was only going to learn how to eat this instead of this..etc..no! They tell you the key things behind the show and they educate you!!!
I believe in these steps for 2010:
The Plan God's led me to follow:
1. Be Nutritionally Smart and Educated
2. Go to bed earlier, get more sleep, get up earlier, exercise, shower, eat breakfast!
3. Eat the right things!
SMILE...RELAX..WORSHIP...BE HAPPIER!!!
Taking more time for God and working out is easy, get more exercise, and while exercising, take time for Him first thing...that way you can tackle both at the same time...Eat a good breakfast first though to fuel your workout...come home all hot steamy, and ready for a refreshing shower to wake you up and start your day...

New Bed!!!

Okay, so the little things in life excite me, we went up to Just Beds in Springfield on Monday with my little brother who I expected to jump on every bed, which he did, and bought us a new 10 yr warranty BEMCO bed!!!
My excitement is overwhelming because it is being delivered tomorrow! Praise God! Hopefully will be helping me with the buldged disc in my back!
I have been at my job for a year this month, will have been with the company for a year in June, and am thanking God for all of my blessings!
There's been some rough times, the past year of employment, but everything has worked out to His Glory!
We were blessed to get a lot of money back this year on our tax return! So, it enabled us to do some things that we'd been putting off for a while!
I think my broken heart over having a baby is kinda numb now, since I've wanted one for so long.
"He heals the brokenhearted, and bandages their wounds"...Psalm 147:3...This is so true! He will heal my broken heart over not having a child, just like he healed my heart from my ex husband and filled my heart with so much love from my new husband that Ryan is but a memory now.
When he heals my heart of wanting a child, I will be filled with so much love, and mercy, and graciousness, that I will find myself thanking Him, because he'll do it in his timing, like when He found me a new version of my first husband!
Thank you Lord for giving me time to appreciate my new blessing even more, thank you for making me take time to prepare my fields for Him, more than any other mother, thank you for making sure that we get the right egg with the right sperm!
Love, your daughter, your princess in YOU...

My Healer! My Redeemer!

Luke 18:1...talks about praying, and not giving up! This is so true...if I hadn't had my mom and my husband diligently praying for my healing and not believing the report of the Lord, my symptoms might have continued, but it's crazy, ever since they've been praying and ever since they've been laying hands over me, I've been feeling amazingly better!
I also have not had 1 symptom from the Fibromyalgia ever since I've had this cold/flu I got from my husband...praise God! My back still gets a little soar when I do a lot of walking, but other than that, hardly any pain!
:) It makes me have a lot more energy when I have less pain! I'm ready to dance in the kitchen, do dishes with my husband, and make love to him ...all the stuff I didn't even want to get off the couch to think about not alone do!
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. Job 19:25
