The Assigned

A beautiful birthday message to our founder and Visionary Commander Ashlee Record, written by Ebony Walker of THE ASSIGNED:

You are selfless, compassionate, and all about Jesus!

You have a potent way of showing no judgment while ushering one into repentance and accountability simultaneously.

Even when you're navigating through your own clouded eyes, you pull over to wipe someone else's tears and clear their pathway.

You know who you are, what you are, and you're never afraid to grow or be corrected by Holy Spirit.

Ashlee, I thank you.

For your sisterhood, for your commitment and communication, for your heart to sincerely help God's people align.

Your "yes" has caused giants to fall in my life and I am forever grateful for all that you went through JUST so you could help me accept my assignment.

Happy birthday to a beautiful flower, a dedicated leader, and a visionary who knows how to command others into greatness.

May God's exponential, immeasurable favor be upon you and every generation that comes from you...naturally and spiritually.

I love you, beautiful. ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️

Today, we celebrate the life of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

A life marked by humility, obedience, compassion, and love poured out for a hurting world…

A life that stepped into darkness without being overcome by it…

A life that reminds us God is not distant…

He is present, Emmanuel, with us.

And if today feels joyful for you, may your heart be full and your gratitude deep.

But if today feels heavy…

If this Christmas carries absence, loss, unanswered prayers, or a grief that others may not see, know this:

You are not forgotten.

You are not weak for feeling the ache.

And you are not outside the reach of God’s love today.

Jesus entered the world through vulnerability.

He lived acquainted with sorrow.

He wept with those who mourned.

And He is near to the brokenhearted still.

So whether you are celebrating with laughter or sitting quietly with tears…

May you feel held today.

May you feel seen.

And may you feel loved.

Grace and peace to you today and forever.

Merry Christmas from The Assigned ⚔️
