TESTIMONY: Ashley Piacenza

For years I was living and working in New York as a fashion designer for some of the best fashion houses. It’s a hard industry and it can wear on you. But I thought my life was great because I was getting everything I wanted. I was attending parties and shows every week and getting all the designer garments. It was my life. I was soaring! It all ended when the company I was designing for folded.

Darkness set in, I became depressed and my mind was in a constant battle. My life as I knew it was over and I lost my way because everything I had was of the world. I felt unworthy of my life. I felt I had failed everyone. Although I was good at putting on a happy face for my family and friends, behind closed doors I felt life was no longer worth living.

I grew up learning about God as a Catholic, but I lived apart from Him. However, my despair caused me to call out to Him. I cried on my bedroom floor for my pain to go away and for clarity as to why my life was unraveling. I was trying so hard to get my life back, but couldn’t. Something was always stopping me!

Still lost and in pain, my best friend Chelsea invited me to Legacy Church. It was there I received my answers. I found joy and peace again, I found the real me and my new life. Living my life for Jesus has been the best decision I have ever made. I’m so thankful God stepped in when He did. I’m so thankful she invited me to church! It only takes a minute to invite someone to church and to give them hope. You never know what they are going through.

As a church we do not believe in doing life alone. We want to pray with you.
