Be Purposeful to Change Your Life | 2020 Goals

I’ve noticed another trend, looking back on the various goals I’ve set for myself over the years. I’ve always been one to have big aspirations, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but I’ve also noticed how year after year, some of the things keep getting listed over and over as my goals. Maybe you can relate? It’s certainly n[...]

Details on My Second Novel

Okay guys—I finally want to share a little bit of info on my next novel before (a) I forget to in the midst of a disorganized mess of blog post ideas I have and (b) so that if I become a little less active on this blog from here to the end of school, it's probably because I'm devoting more time to working on it. It's really hard to bala[...]

That Time I Decided to Rewrite My First Novel….

I can remember the day I started writing my first book. It was someday in the spring, 2014. I was sitting at my usual fave spot at our kitchen table, right next to the window, which had revealed a nice spring day (I think, haha, but I was writing about spring that day because I felt inspired to do so, so I'm guessing it was). I remember[...]

Let’s Catch Up

One of the fun things about the end of the year is looking back. Reviewing the goals. The dreams. The fun moments. The painful moments. Using those as guidance as you head into the new year. And dreaming new dreams and setting new goals. It's not exactly the new year yet, but I'm impatient and would really like to review my yearly goals.[...]

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[...]

This Year’s Life Goals and Beginning Monthly Goals

Happy 2016, everyone! I’ve never been a big fan of resolutions, because they’re such a corny thing sometimes that people never actually do. I’ve always been kind of hesitant about goals, too, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing to set goals. We should always be working hard to become better people in Christ, and I don’t th[...]

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.
