Dear.YHWH

In this episode, I’m diving into what it truly means to live holy and righteous not from perfection, but from posture and surrender. I share how God took me through a refining season when I moved to Texas. Which was a time of pruning, isolation, and deep intimacy with Him. Holiness isn’t about rules; it’s about relationship. Righteousness isn’t about flawlessness; it’s about alignment. Reflection: Am I living holy or just comfortable? Scriptures: Romans 12:1–2, 1 Peter 1:15–16, 2 Corinthians 7:1, Matthew 5:6, and Psalm 139:23–24 ✨ Join the Crystal Clear Faith Skool Community → https://www.skool.com/crystalclearfaith 🕯 Shop my Candle Collection & Book → https://www.crystalclearfaith.com

This episode came straight from a moment that checked me deep. I was talking to my friend Bianca about going to Florida to see my mom for Mother’s Day, our first one without my dad. And I found myself spiraling… talking about how hard it was going to be, how I’d probably cry the whole time, how everything would feel so heavy. And then she said it:“Ashley, don’t color moments that haven’t happened yet.” Whew. That hit different.It made my spirit get quiet and immediately, I thought of Ecclesiastes 3. In this episode, I’m walking through that scripture verse by verse, sharing how God reminded me not to live in fear of what might be, but to rest in the truth of what He’s already ordained. If you’ve ever overthought the future or emotionally braced for pain before a moment even arrived, this one is for you. 📖 Scriptures Mentioned: Ecclesiastes 3:1–14  Psalm 46:10 

Welcome to Season 4 of Dear.YWHW!! In this quick short episode, I reflect on the tension between joy and grief, sharing how a fulfilling day walking in my purpose also brought deep emotions of loss. I discuss how Jesus wept for Lazarus, reminding us that grief doesn’t mean a lack of faith. It simply means we’re human. Even in sorrow, God is working, just as Romans 8:28 assures us. My challenge: embrace the good days, feel them fully, and thank God for them even when they come with tears.

In the 7th and final episode of Season 3, I reflect on the seven powerful lessons God taught me during my dad’s journey from this life into eternity.

This episode is a tribute to my dad’s legacy and a testimony of God’s faithfulness. My hope is to encourage anyone walking through grief to see God’s hand, even in the hardest seasons.
