"Go back to Hezekiah and tell him, 'This is what the LORD, the God of your ancestor David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will add fifteen years to your life"
Thank you Lord. I needed to know that you've heard me. I have faith that you have. I know that now when I'm down to nothing, down to nothing but nothings, and no's and negatives, that you must be up to something!
Mom says it means that we should prepare for a big blessing that's coming. And, even when I've doubted her she's NEVER (well, maybe once or twice) been wrong, and you have most def never been wrong, even if I've doubted you!

Proverbs 13:12
I was watching the 700 Club tonight like I often do of an evening, and I find myself trying to delight myself more in the Lord, and He gave me a word for me to believe on...
Proverbs 13:12:
"HOPE deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life."
Deferred-definition for those of you who don't know...
1. Postponed or delayed: deferred gratification; deferred military draft.
2. Withheld until a future date: deferred benefits; a deferred payment.
So, in other words, even though my Hope is deferred for God's will and HIS timing...and my heart is sick...once my DREAM is fulFILLED I will be fULL and FILLED with so much LIFE!
PRaise God! Thank you God!

Pain.
Pain. No longer will I think of you. No longer will I let you win! No longer CAN I let you take over my body!
My HIS stripes I am healed. I can't go on to define and to label myself as Fibromyalgia sufferer!
YOU already suffered and DIED for me!
I am free like the bird on the wing!
I pray against any attacks on my mom and I pray against any attacks that may be happening on me!
I believe YOUR WILL God be done.
YOUR will in my life.
YOUR grace, still AMAZES ME!
LOve,
Ashley
your daughter and princess!

Good Poem!
Big Fat Lies
Waiting for some miracle, while eating chips at night,
Surfing all the channels for the diet that’s finally right,
All these years of damage; I’ve starved, but gained a lot,
Certainly not in the fitness department; I was a total flop!
I was told the same old rules, I’m sure you know by heart,
I’ll repeat them anyway so this poem can start:
Big girls should never go to proms or have weddings in big sizes,
Wear a lot of rust and black because it slenderizes.
Never eat in front of people, you’ll look like a pig!
Keep you mouth shut, Baby, you shouldn't be loud and big.
Well, thank you for the great advice I hear all night and day.
Now pardon me if I take my life and go the other way.
Big girls should go wherever they want wearing shorts or wedding gear,
We should speak what’s on our minds, we have the right to share,
Take your life and live right now, not waiting until when…
You get one chance to go around--don’t let them steal your wind!
Stop the wishful thinking, just live and you’ll get better,
Never miss a day at the beach dressed for summer weather.
How long has it been since you felt the breeze of summer on your legs?
Not been ashamed of wearing shorts or eating ice cream with the kids?
Skipped through your yard on a sunny day or went on woodsy walk?
Don’t let those people get you down, who cares if they start to talk?
The time is now--Go evolve, knowing the journey never ends,
Enjoy the twists and turns you take, thanking God for every win!

WHAT GOD MEANT WHEN HE GAVE ME INFERTILITY
What God meant when he gave me infertility...
'Couples experiencing infertility often receive well-meaning but extremely insensitive advice.
We can list all the most popular ones: Just relax and you'll get pregnant, or adopt and you'll get pregnant,
of the most painful from those who think they've got the goods on Gods plan; maybe God never meant for you to have children.
The sheer audacity of making a statement like that never fails to amaze me.
These same people would never walk up to someone seeking treatment for cancer and say "Maybe God never meant for you to live." However, because I am infertile, I'm supposed to get on with my life? It's hard to understand that people can not see infertility for what it is; a disease for which I have to seek treatment. What if Jonas Salk had said to the parents of polio victims, "Maybe God meant for thousands of our children to be cripples, live in an iron lung, or die." What if he'd never tried to find a cure? Who could think for one minute that was Gods plan?
What do I think God meant when he gave me infertility?
I think he meant for my husband and I to grow closer, become stronger, love deeper. I think God meant for us to find the fortitude within ourselves to get up every time infertility knocks us down. I think God meant for our medical community to discover medicines, invent medical equipment, create procedures and protocols. I think God meant for us to find a cure for infertility.
No, God never meant for me not to have children. That's not my destiny; thats just a fork in the road I'm on. Ive been placed on the road less traveled. I've gained more compassion, deeper courage, greater inner strength on this journey to resolution and I haven't let him down.
Frankly, if the truth be known, I think God has singled me out for a special treatment. I think God meant for me to build a thirst for a child so strong and so deep that when that baby is finally placed in my arms, it will be the longest, coolest, most refreshing drink I've ever known.
While I would never have chose infertility, I can not deny that a fertile woman could never know the joy that awaits me. Yes, one way or another, I will have a baby of my own. And the next time someone wants to offer me unsolicited advice; I'll say "Don't tell me what God meant when he handed me infertility. I already know."
Take hold ladies that God has a greater plan for us as women and as mothers. We are in for the longest, coolest, most refreshing drink we've ever known! Take hold ladies...God will not forsake us!'

Jealousy
Hey Jealousy.
If you don't like the fact that your job sucks, and your not in the position that you want, hey jealousy-don't hate on me.
If you want to complain, then don't do everything in vain, and sit there and complain, hey jealousy-don't hate on us.
Hey Jealousy-your older and younger, and the same age as me.
So don't hate on me, hey jealousy.

1 Week 2 Go!
This next week we look forward to sharing our 2nd Rendezvous together! This is the longest I've gone to this event with the same man, family will be shocked! ha ha!
I am beyond blessed to go with my angel again this year, he has truly rescued me from the heartache that this life can sometime bring!
My back has been in so much pain lately that it is unreal!
It's got me natueous, leg in burning pain, and me crying at times! I don't wanna feel this old @ 27, but Fibro doesn't care. It's my friend, and for now, it's here to stay!
It's not permanent, because God can deliver and heal someone of any affliction, but it's real. And it sux.
I appologize for making fun of the mercials and thinking that I needed to change the channel.
Here's to a speedy week, and an easy one, and then, off to camp!
Love,
Ash

Weight Issue, A Little Weighing...
Okay, so how come when your happy, unbe-Weav-ingly ...with your body, (still not your face), but your body, then that's when the doctor says, lose 20 lbs or you'll never get preggo. um, Seriously?! That's false. I was skinny, I've been skinny, skinny for ME anyway, and I never got preggo then. I've seen so many ppl 500, 300, 200, 100 pounds have children. So i'm thinking that doesn't have much to do with anything.
Plus, she then tells me that we only have a 20% chance, because everyone only has a 20% chance!
Well, guess what lady? With GOD, I have an infinite chance! With God ALL things are possible, so when I've been told to give up, unless I do this, or unless I do that, I believe that God has the final say...and God will help me, granted I'll still help myself, but with fibro on top of this, it's not getting easy.
With lackage of money, it's not any easier.
plain, and simple.

Metformin Journey
Well, this week I finally was able to start my Metformin Journey, it all was suppossed to start last week (Easter Week), but I had a horrible cold, that I'm still getting over.
The doctor called today to see how I was responding to it, and I told him I was just fine, I didn't bother brining up the horrible cannon like shooting gas I've had, but seriously, if that is all it's going to do to me, I'm fine, the husband may not be, but I'll be fine! lol
It's April 7, and since 7 is our number, I think we may try conceiving him tonight, after all, the license plate did say Sampson 7.

Confirmation of Samson #4
We were in Decatur and were driving and we were talking about Samson, and in front of us was a license plate that said Smpson or Sampson 7, Sampson is the name I heard at work right after God told me about Samson, and 7 is our number! Praise God! :)
We didn't know if we could afford Easter Cloths, and the total of everything plus gifts was $77! We had $77 with us! We got married on 7-7-7!!! All 7's, all Samson's, all confirmation!
