Reflections on Freshman Year

I am officially a sophomore now, guys! I finally don't have the freshman stigma surrounding me anymore, which is a relief. :) So each year of school, I like to do a post covering everything I learned and how it went. I did one large post over each year of middle school and what I learned that was really fun to look back on for me; check t[...]

So today, I thought I'd go over my thoughts on some of my favorite quotes over your passions an[...]

Serious Observations You Can Make at the Mall

Of all the malls near us, I would say Jordan Creek is by far my favorite. They have the best variety of stores in my opinion, and plus I just think the overall architecture/layout of their mall is pristine and inviting. I've had good memories over the years of going shopping there with my friends and with my mom and sometimes even my[...]

The Lost Art of Deep Thinking

In school these days, or at least in mine, I've noticed a similar pattern over the years. It's the fact that whenever there's a mention of really deep topics, it's like kids can't even handle it. They either tune it out completely, thinking it's irrelevant to them and they just don't care, or it honestly scares them off, and they just cou[...]

In the Midst of Complex Problems

There are an innumerable amount of problems in this society, and as I grow up, I realize how complex some of these really are. You know, when you're young, it's so easy to just say something and then be on your way, even with faith. It's so easy to just say something like to trust God, but then you get older, and there's so much complexit[...]

Just Do . . . {What God Is Calling You to Do}

I've always had trouble with blogging. Or I should say, continuing to stay motivated with it. I love to write, and I definitely love to blog, though I would rather write fictional stories any day. But I just love the beauty of writing and the impact that words can have on somebody's life. Fiction or nonfiction. I like to read both, t[...]

On Letting God

Unpacking. I just finished unpacking after spending a few days with my grandparents for Thanksgiving. Every time I'm with them, I find myself always having a great time and, honestly, I never want to leave. But there are of course things I love about being back home, and I'm glad we came home today so that we still get a weekend befo[...]

It Doesn’t Have to End There

I just finished watching the Scott Peterson movie. The one about how he got arrested for murdering his wife. I can believe sinful things like this happen because I know it's a sinful world, but that doesn't make the pain and disgust at it go away. And it shouldn't. It makes me long for the day when Christ comes and makes everything g[...]

Be Still

Tonight we decided to go into town to get food because that's what happens when Dad is gone, and Mom doesn't want to cook. I didn't complain because this healthy person loves fast food. I was reviewing my summer goals the other day and noticed I was supposed to blog everyday. My immediate excuse for that is well, it takes time to typ[...]

Hi, I’m Ashlee!

Hi, I’m Ashlee!

Welcome to My Blog

I am passionate about sharing and living for Jesus, authentic storytelling, moving design, and all things girly, just because. Here on my blog, I love writing about all the things God is teaching me in my everyday life to inspire, encourage, and entertain for His glory, above all, and to share an honest, raw view of life, faith, and His light, love, and hope that saves. As an aspiring author, I record my journey of trusting God with all my dreams. I pray this space can help you fall in love with God more deeply, make you laugh, and encourage, challenge, and reassure you as you seek to live a bold, abundant life for Him.
