How God Worked in 2015

2015 was amazing. It had many trials I never saw coming, but it also had a lot of moments where I saw God working that I didn't see coming. Let's go over it, shall we? January I moved my blog to Squarespace. That was the best decision EVER! Squarespace is an amazing company, they're easy to use, I mean it, God was looking out f[...]

Speaking of Des Moines Fun: Trans-Siberian Orchestra

There is snow on the ground, so what better atmosphere for me to recap the amazing concert I attended a few nights ago in Des Moines? I went with my parents to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra perform at Wells Fargo Arena (same place I watch hockey), and it was so much fun. First off,  sorry to my Snapchat friends who had to see at leas[...]

Reasons I Love Hockey

I think you all know by now that I really like hockey. Ever since the two games I went to last spring, I've loved it. It also helps when your favorite player is really good plus he's HOT. It makes it all that more fun to watch... Despite my brother saying I only like hockey because of that, that's not true, and here's why based on pi[...]

The Problem with the Media

Alright, let's admit it. I'm sure most of us have one social site we really love. You might not think that way at first, but think about how many times you check it, how many times you post, etc. Think about those news sites you check, or all those new movies and books and songs you watch and read and listen to. It's not bad to like[...]

Let’s Just Talk, Brought to You by Broken Computers

Hey everybody. I'm back from the dead. No, just kidding. Or not. Whatever. There are two things I hate doing. One is blogging on the phone.

The Nothing and Everything Post

Holy no posts anymore. It's not that I've been lazy or even a lack of motivation - I just chose not to post because I've been working on the design of my blog. Let me clarify that: not the actual blog design - not yet anyway. I'm redoing all the images for my blog posts. They never matched my "brand" so I'm redoing them. As much as I[...]

How Racing is Like Life

Things don't always go as planned. Sometimes the car will flip, or something else just isn't right. You just have to fix it and keep on going, and do the best you can with God. In racing, you can't give up, and it's the same with life. Some seasons are awesome, the car is working great, you're faster than ever, and it is just 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.
