Mercy Graduate Gets Her Miracle!

Ashley came to Mercy Ministries in 2006 battling for her life. She struggled with a severe eating disorder and was desperate for freedom from this life-controlling issue. After so many years of damage to her body, one of Ashley’s concerns was that she might never be able to have the children she and her husband Josh dreamed of. While at Mercy, Ashley found her healing and value in Christ, and since graduating in 2006, she has gotten very involved with her church, shared her powerful testimony with others and is walking in complete freedom! She recently shared some other exciting news that we wanted to pass along to you.

Ashley Speaking to our Nashville

Hello Nancy! I thought I would send you an e-mail and share some great news. Josh and I just found out this week that we are expecting! We have been trying to conceive since we got married, which was almost seven years ago!  This story is truly a testimony to God!

Not only am I excited about this child we are about to bring into this world, but God has got me all kinds of excited about HIM! He is so full of surprises. I have learned that God's timing is perfect, and He is the only One who can make such a miracle happen. I could go on and on! I'm just so excited about what God is doing in our lives and praying that the girls at Mercy can truly come to know their awesome Father. Please take care and know that I am praying for you.


Love and God Bless,
Ashley
