Birthday Dinner

Ashley Elizabeth was born in Seattle at 7:47 pm on October 15, 1991. She was adored from the beginning and was one tool in the Lord's hand to bring Grady and I to Himself. She is a precious child of Jesus who has a deep burden for the persecuted church.. you can read her newest post on her blog http://servantforjesus.blogspot.com/

Also, here is a link to a blog post I did in 2009 when she turned 18. It tells of my miracle pregnancy and her miraculous birth. She was supposed to be aborted.. but the Lord had other plans for this precious child of His!  http://mcdonaldhomesteadhappenings.blogspot.com/2009/10/birthday-that-almost-wasnt.html
Our family is so blessed to have this precious child of His in our family. We are privileged to be her parents and are encouraged daily by her devotion to the Lord and her family. We love you ASHLEY!
