Would I be able to lead, could I speak with conviction, was I too tired to carry
on, was God there or had He given all to heal Ashley?
The image was so powerful that I took a photo (see Page 20) with my trusty
phone. The shadows hid the faces of Matt and Carole-ann. It looked for all
the world as though Mary was standing at the foot of the cross looking up at
her son Jesus. History became a reality in St Oswald’s church in that
moment. Across time came the symbolic image of my deep and unyielding
faith. The words I ‘felt’ were;
I AM who I AM, and I AM always here with you, and always enough to heal
any scar.
I realised that if I put Christ first and last in my life always, I will never be
alone, I will always be carried when needed, He will give me what I need
when I reach out to Him.
And He will always be there for you too.
