My Experience in Las Vegas, Part 4

We're almost to the end of my first Vegas recap series! Don't worry, I'm taking a long break before I get into the next recap, even though that will be equally exciting and unique. These posts take FOREVER to write, and I'm sure they take forever to read, too, so thank you so much for your interest—any bit that you've followed along me[...]

My Experience in Las Vegas, Part 3

Welcome back! I am so excited to share pictures of our trip to the Grand Canyon with you. From the onset of planning this trip, I knew I wanted us to take a trip out there because I heard it was close (I thought it was much closer than it actually was, but we'll get to that...) and it is one of the seven wonders of the world! Plus, I kne[...]

My Experience in Las Vegas, Part 2

Welcome to part two of my Las Vegas series! I'm not going to spend a lot of time blabbing before we dive right into it because I'm already so embarrassed by how long these posts are, even with being divided up, and how long even my social media captions are. 🥲 I don't know how I evolved from writing four paragraphs and calling it a da[...]

My Experience in Las Vegas, Part 1

I am so excited to write this recap of my girl's trip to THE CITY OF SIN!!! I write it that way for ironic reasons, of course. I've got a lot of explaining to do with this one, and I am going to warn you right off the bat that this post will be a book—or it originally was going to be. Ha, I know, when aren't they, but I think I've been[...]

My Favorite Christmas Songs

Well, it's time to start thinking about Christmas already! What a joy it is to get in the Christmas mood and spirit and reflect on the sort of "beginning" to the story of our salvation (even though God had it planned all along...). As the days go by and I get older (how pathetic do I sound right now), I keep realizing how important it is[...]

When Christian Fiction Isn’t Edifying

I have been waiting to write about this topic because I think it's essential as someone who is always reading and publicly recommending Christian fiction authors and novels. I'm going to be very up-front about all of this because people really have to address it honestly for there to be positive change. No industry is perfect, includ[...]

My Favorite Comfort Movies

Movies bring me such joy, or my favorites do, that is. I've already spent a lot of time talking about my favorite movies, though, such as what they say about life here. I was originally going to make a list of all my favorite inspirational movies, but then I got to be thinking, some of these I can't spiritualize even if I want to, and th[...]

Songs for the Sad Heart That Inspire and Encourage

I actually enjoy sad music. That's not all I listen to; I like a healthy variety because otherwise I could just sit in a corner listening to sad music and depress myself into oblivion, but I find music as a whole so therapeutic, and some honest, reassuring, relatable, yet hopeful lyrics are necessary for me. They help you feel less alone[...]

My Favorite Scripture Lullabies

I am so excited for this post!!! It's been in my idea queue for awhile and I've been waiting to finally get to it. I know I've mentioned the group, known simply as Scripture Lullabies, on my blog before. They make exactly what they're named for—beautiful, melodic songs with lyrics that are Bible verses. They say they can be played for[...]

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.
