Summary

I am Ashley. I grew up immersed in the church and knew God from a very young age, but it wasn’t until the devastating loss of my husband in 2022 that I truly encountered His healing power. Overwhelmed by grief and struggling with my identity, I found myself desperate for comfort and answers. In the midst of my sorrow, I enrolled at Caris Bible College where I immersed myself in the scriptures, prayed fervently, and began to see myself as God sees me. Through His Word, I discovered that my worth is not defined by loss but by His love. Today, I stand transformed—a broken, grieving woman restored and renewed by Jesus. My journey from heartbreak to hope is a testament to the transformative power of His grace and a reminder that in our deepest pain, God’s presence brings healing and a new identity.
