#foundbytheSHEPHERD
You did not find this lamb by accident. This little lamb was placed in memory of Trenton Ashley, who loved Jesus and made people feel seen, valued and loved. May it remind you that Jesus sees you too, loves you deeply, and leaves the 99 to find the one. You are not invisible. You are not forgotten. You are Found by the Shepherd.
You FOUND a lamb.
Trenton's Legacy...
Where Everyone Felt Like Someone
Trenton Ashley loved Jesus with his whole heart and had a rare gift for making people feel seen. He didn’t meet a stranger, and he didn’t care where you came from, what you had, or what you had walked through. Trent noticed people. He welcomed people. He made them feel like they mattered.
This project carries that legacy forward with the message Trent would want you to know: you are seen, you are known, you are worthy, and you are deeply loved by Jesus. He is the Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to pursue the one who feels lost. Jesus loves you that much.
The Shepherd’s Promise
Psalm 23 was one of Trenton's favorite passages. It is a picture of who Jesus is: the Shepherd who provides, restores, leads, comforts, protects, prepares, pursues, and brings us home.
Psalm 23 says...
The LORD is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over. Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the LORD’s house forever.
This is the heart of Found by the Shepherd.
Jesus is not a distant God. He is the Shepherd who comes near. He sees the one who feels lost, tired, unseen, broken, or forgotten. He does not abandon His sheep in the valley. He walks with them through it. If you found this lamb today, let it remind you of this promise:
You are seen.
You are pursued.
You are loved.
You are #FoundByTheShepherd.
Pursued by reckless love
No matter how far you have wandered, you are seen, valued, and wanted. Take a quiet breath and let yourself be found.
