Summer 2017: Thoughts & Bucket List

No pressure. If there's anything I want to remember this summer, it's this. Something I do all the time is that when I've had something super fun happen in the past, the next time I go to do it, I try to plan everything just so so that it is as fun. But normally it's not. Why? Because (a) it's too PLANNED. Honestly, the best moments in my[...]

Ontario, Canada Adventures #2: Fishing and Southerns

Fishing This is pretty much what the entire rest of the week consisted of. But it was fun! Yes, I enjoyed being woke up at eight or earlier in the morning. I actually did enjoy fishing, though. I definitely am not as crazy about fishing as Hunter or Dad, and after the first two days of it, I opted for relaxing in the cabin and trying[...]

Another Blogging Recap (Over a Year at It)

It's so hard to believe that a year ago, I wrote this post of a blogging recap (and also my five million and one blog designs). I mean, wow. I've learned so much through blogging. Some of it was the blogging tips everyone constantly throws out there. But a lot of it was just the purpose of my blog in general and trusting in God. I l[...]

They Still Pray…

I don't even remember if it was one week or two weeks ago, but once upon a time I went to Knoxville. I was sick of dealing with the sun making me blind, plus I wanted to wear my sparkly sunglasses because we all know they're awesome, so that's what I did to start off with. Dad didn't plan on going to the races that night, but a track wher[...]

All the Goals

It's the time of year for summer goals and summer bucket lists. I made a rough draft of my goals and bucket list at school earlier this week, and then I copied them into a prettier notebook and wrote them with prettier pens. Because that's obviously a necessity and good use of your time. Enough with that; let's get into them. Summer[...]

May Goals: An Exciting Month

Ah, April. It was a great yet draining month. I learned a lot about myself this month from deep things like situations with friends to simple things like writing. Let's go over the goals! CUT BACK ON SNACKS AND RUN: I did run a lot and did not get stung by a bee. I may or may not have prayed that I wouldn't before I went out every t[...]

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.
