Episode 7: Beauty From Ashes
Isaiah 61: 1-4 says:
61 sThe Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has tanointed me
to bring good news to the poor;1
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and uthe opening of the prison to those who are bound;2
2 vto proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,
wand the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
xto give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
ythe oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
zthat they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, athat he may be glorified.3
4 bThey shall build up the ancient ruins;
they shall raise up the former devastations;
they shall repair the ruined cities,
the devastations of many generations.
This couldn’t be more true for Ashley, she has been freed from former devastations, she is liberated from the prison of addiction and can now truly be an oak of righteousness. I had never fully understood this bible passage until my good friend Kyle McIntosh named his tattoo parlor Beauty From Ashes to show his own rise out of addiction and on a path to fulfillment.
During this episode Ashley discusses what it took for her to finally begin repairing herself. She discusses the use of meditation and truly understanding who she is. She no longer feels the craving of approval from others and to “fit in”. She is happy with who she is in all ways, including and more than anything her sobriety.
