And maybe this is not the best example of a traumatic moment in my life because trust me I've experienced some legit traumatic things, but I just go[...]

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[...]

The Hope

It is not even halfway through May, and practically all of my goals are done. The other two are being completed right now. I'm giving God all the glory for that, and I know I say that a lot, but I really mean it because I think some big things will happen soon.

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.
