In this episode, I share some details of my life and some of the most pivotal moments of my experience and where and how God met me. I share the pivotal moments and the most life-changing moments where I encountered God in new and profound ways. I also share a prophetic word from Tobi Arayomi that really ministered to me and echoed what I believe the Lord continues to say over me. It reflects the way He is currently dealing with me too. I also share a prophetic word the Lord spoke to me personally. My hope is that if the Lord has been speaking to you in this area, and has been challenging you NOT to deny your story, but instead to see Him in it, that this would minister to you and give more language to what He's doing.I want to make sure I give this acknowledgement. I'm very grateful for having grown up in a Christian household, for my mom, for my grandmother, and the family that helped us to be kids and have fun. We did have good times and my mom was always a safe person to go to.Read Isaiah 53Check out HeavenatHome.org Follow Ashley on InstagramFollow Ashley on FacebookSupport this podcast!*Trigger Warning for briefly mentioning: Suicide, Self-Harm, Sexual Abuse, Domestic Violence988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline800.799.SAFE - Domestic Violence Hotline

The biggest obstacle that keeps us from mourning well is an unwillingness to acknowledge the pain. We urgently want to get out of it as quickly as possible. Being willing to embrace it for the moment and being able to actively process it with God is what allows us to receive a special kind of blessing; one reserved for the broken-hearted. All the behavior management that happens after that is sometimes the easier part. But it is much more rewarding and fulfilling to walk through the valleys life has to offer us when we partner with Jesus - who so cares for us, and so truly wants to hold our hearts in the process.
