Small and Simple Miracles

  It has been an interesting holiday time. One that I will not soon forget, and yet one that if possible I don't really wish to relive. Work weather, and wackiness all aligned to prevent me from going anywhere for the holidays. That's right folks just me my pj's and netflix. Actually, I handled it better than I would have thought because of the amazing gift of technology. (Google hangout and facebook video chat can be real life savers it turns out)
  People have come back to my home now, but are off doing their various other tasks, and for whatever reason I just felt like no one was there. I think they call this loneliness. I rushed to my room and knelt down on my knees to find the friend I knew I could rely on. God and I chatted a bit and I told him my predicament. He understood of course.
   Suddenly on my phone came up a live stream from youtube. Not exactly the answer I was expecting. I decided to click on the link anyway because you really never know. The Piano Gal- a 14 year old from Utah was blasting her Sunday Sounds live. The first song she began to play was Nearer my God to Thee. (http://bit.ly/2hIszlF) Besides being beautiful, it help me to realize that no matter what I could maintain at least one friendship constantly. The one with God. The live chat began and I had a 2 sentence conversation with her Dad who runs her page. Those two sentences helped me remember that I do have friends in the world. 
    A small decision a while ago to subscribe to a girl on her youtube page had allowed the Lord to answer my prayer today. It wasn't a big thing, but it was what I needed at the time. Ironically, her next song was "My Shepherd Will Supply My Need" It is my honest belief that this was what the Lord was doing for me in this instant tonight, and what He is doing always.
   It made me think about other times the Lord has used small things to show me that He hears my prayers and is supplying for my need. Earlier this week I was beginning a temple shift at the Provo City Center Temple. I had recently washed my temple clothes and could not find my name tag for the life of me. After searching for what felt like a long time I gave up and figured I would have to order a new one. However, I decided to pray one more time. As I reached my hand into my bag, two tags dropped into my hand. No one except for the Lord knew about my missing items. No one but the Lord could have helped me find them.
  What ways have you seen the Lord supply your need this week? Has it made you feel nearer to Him? My challenge to myself and all of us it pay attention to the small and simple miracles that happen in our lives during this new year!

When Mother’s Day Hurts: Infertility and the Silent Struggle

Image
Mother’s Day is a beautiful time of celebration for many. But for those who are walking the difficult path of infertility, it can be a day of heartache, quiet grief, and unspoken longing. While others are surrounded by flowers, cards, and family gatherings, many women feel left out of a celebration that touches the deepest part of their identity and hope. Why It Hurts Infertility is a private sorrow that often goes unseen. Every pregnancy announcement, baby shower, or Mother’s Day tribute can feel like a reminder of what hasn’t happened yet—or what may never come. The pain is real, even if it’s invisible to others. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland once compassionately said: “To you who are single, widowed, divorced, or have no children, I say: Do not lose hope. The Lord loves you. He knows your heart. He has not forgotten you.” —Jeffrey R. Holland, “Because She Is a Mother”, April 1997 This reassurance is vital. God sees the whole picture. He understands the desires of our hearts and ho...

The Battle to Be Still

Image
Post surgery I continue to hear the phrase "just rest!" It's ironic because this phrase has created an internal and external battle for me. I have not been blessed with the gift of being still. In fact, if the scriptures were written about me it would say, "Be busy, and try to stay out of God's way". Don't worry, I won't change the scriptures, I'll try to adapt myself to the Bible as it stands. First I will illustrate part of the problem I face in adapting to being still. Let me share some real life examples that make it hard to slow down. "Hey Ashley I know you have surgery today, but I have a question..." "Hey don't do too much... but could you make sure you are here for the four terminations we have on Thursday? Can you also finish payroll. Oh, and we need some severance packages too" "Hey Ashley just make sure you rest... but could you start working with a loan officer to buy the house? Would you mind review...

Ode to the "Great Harvester"

Image
For two years I have had a companion in the "great harvester". I'll never forget when I woke up in the hospital in 2022 and there was a bag attached to my side. I was told prior to the surgery that there was a 2% chance of such an event, but I couldn't understand how it had happened. The kindest nurse came in and tried to make it ok. She told me that naming things attached to our body can make them become less of a burden, and more of a blessing. At the time I wasn't in much of a joking mood, but tried to keep my humor... this Stoma would literally touch everything I ever ate. Thus the birth of the great harvester. During the past several years I cannot count the number of uncomfortable situations I have shared with the Great Harvester. Sometimes my stoma was far too powerful for the accompany bag and would spread it's goodness all over everywhere, and mostly all over me. Carrying an extra change of clothes (or three) became the norm. I learned very quic...
