How to Give God Your Youth and Why It’s Important

Before we dive into today's post, I want to thank everyone who has submitted blog post requests through my social media stories! It's great to get ideas from all of you on what to write about because then I know exactly what you want to read. I got some ideas for future faith and advice posts I'll be writing in the weeks to come, but for[...]

Midnight Thoughts on the Meaning of Life

This is quite a dramatic title, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. In fact, I’m not going to lie, when I thought about what to title this post, it just came to my mind, and I swooned. It may seem a little excessive for what I want to share with you, but it’s actually perfect because I want to post some thoughts I typed[...]

What to Do When It Hurts

There have been numerous occasions throughout my life where it seems all I’m able to do is breathe, and maybe even that doesn’t feel possible. Some situations are really ugly, feel really debilitating, and knock even the strongest people to their knees. Nobody gets exempt from pain in this life, regardless of the facades they may[...]

My Thoughts Lately

Oh my gosh you guys I am so sorry it’s been over a month since I’ve posted….. I’m not on another hiatus, at least certainly not by choice, but I’ve been more busy than I ever have been between balancing the workload of school this year and then taking driver’s ed, too. Thankfully that is about over—I just pray to God I pass[...]

Darkest Hour, Brightest Hope

Sometimes all the lights go out in your life. There doesn't seem to be any hope. Nothing can satisfy you. Everything hurts. The world seems hopeless. The pain, suffering, and brokenness of the world slaps you in the face, leaving you feeling stressed, desperate, and lost. I've been there, done that. More than once. This is another o[...]

It Doesn’t Have to End There

I just finished watching the Scott Peterson movie. The one about how he got arrested for murdering his wife. I can believe sinful things like this happen because I know it's a sinful world, but that doesn't make the pain and disgust at it go away. And it shouldn't. It makes me long for the day when Christ comes and makes everything g[...]

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[...]

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.
