It's December Already?

"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done."
Philippians 4:6 (NLT)
Dear Lord, I'm turning over all my fears and problems to You to handle today. I can't fix a single thing by worrying about it - but You can fix anything because nothing is impossible for You! Thanks for being in charge of my day. In Jesus' Name, Amen.



Hello everyone!
We hope this finds you well and blessed! It's been awhile since our last post and since that time, we are just trying to get adjusted to schedules and routines. Following this post, you will see some pictures of what different activities have taken place for Ashley and our family in the past couple of months.
Ashley continues to progress and surprise us everyday either through her speech, long and short term memory and continuous hugs and kisses. Our family continues to move forward with the many Blessings the Lord gives us everyday. We Love how our Family and friends continue to show us love and support with their phone calls, visits, and prayers. You, our family and friends, through your gracious continuous prayers and presence make us stronger to go forward another day. We continue doing the best we can everyday for our family!
Ashley continues to stay healthy and strong. Her latest CT Scan showed very good results. The doctor noticed a great improvement from the last visit and said she looked very good and very strong as well. The therapists continue to work hard with Ashley in helping her with her safe swallowing of liquids and solids, as we work right along side of them as well. We have noticed a slight increase of the use of her speech! We have also started taking her out a little more as her strength allows.
We ask that you all would continue to intercede and pray for our Ashley's full recovery. We have great faith that the Lord will heal her in his special way and on his time. He has her here for a reason and she is a Miracle of the Lord! We will see his great beauty after all this pain. We tell you, her faithful followers, the Lord loves you very much and never feel that you are alone because he is there right by your side protecting his faithful people. Be sure to go through and look at her pictures!

Thank you so much,

Love the Olivarez Family
God Bless and Have
a Great Day!

COME SEE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING!
