Ashley's Profession Of Faith

Ashley's Profession Of Faith
March 30, 2014
 
Rejoicing with You in Your Profession of FAITH.
 There is no greater life than one lived for Jesus...
 no greater reason to celebrate than one heart given to Him.
 


 Giving Ashley a small gift...
 
A necklace that means Faith (Cross), Hope (Anchor), Love (Heart)!
 

 Ashley's friends came to help her celebrate this wonderful day!!
 
 Ashley is looking a little nervous. :)
 Ashley giving her testimony.
Sorry hard to read :(
This is what the paper says:
Who is Jesus to Me?
He died on the cross to save me from my sins and to give me a chance at life so that one day he can present me to our heavenly father. He's the man who makes all things possible and with out him I'd be nothing. I need him to live, to guide me, and to help mold me into the person I'm meant to be. He's all knowing, most forgiving, and loves me unconditionally. He's always there ready to lend a helping hand, listen to my every prayer, and help get me back up on my feet when I've fallen. He's my savior Jesus Christ and with him by my side I'll be able to conquer anything life throws at me no matter how big the storm.

Update on Mike!!

Well as of now the Doctor is reviewing a couple of episodes he had.
 Depending on what the Doctor finds he many need to re-start one of the medications he had stopped taking.
 Or it can be kind of like our "flips of the heart" which supposedly everyone has but we are just more sensitive to it and notice them. So we tend to get ourselves into a panic attack.

We pray that there is a easy fix!!

PRAYERS

Please pray for my brother Mike!
He is going to Sioux Falls for a Dr'.s Appointment on Tuesday (March 25th). He has had a couple of episodes where he breaks out in a cold sweat, gets nauseated and feels like his heart takes a flip. They called Sioux falls and they said they wanted to check it out. They want to check his defib (defibrillator) and his home box recorder machine. Sioux Falls did say if it was serious his home box machine would alert Sioux falls. But Sioux falls want to have it checked out immediately!!

Please pray that is may not be anything serious.
