Ashley is a teen mom that has been coming around First Glance for about a year and a half now. In talking with a leader at teen moms a few weeks ago she said mentioned the need for younger woman to walk beside our teen moms and be a friend. Ashley came to my mind during our conversation. On a few occasions I have watched Ashley’s son in the nursery, but I have had little interactions with her. On Monday, I received a message from her on facebook saying that we should hang out sometime soon when I am free. I was so excited! I messaged her back quickly and set up a time!
Yesterday Ashley, her son and I went out for lunch. Ashley just found out that morning morning she got a job! I was pleasantly surprised with how open and honest Ashley was about her struggles in being a mother and how she was in a unhealthy relationship. I am really looking forward to hanging out with her more!
Please be praying as I build a relationship with Ashley. Pray that I would love her well and would be bold in my faith in bringing Jesus into our conversations. I am more than excited to see where God takes our relationship.
