Reflecting on My Favorite Quotes {Anxiety}

The weather has finally been beautiful here in Iowa, much to my liking. I'm definitely a summer person, so if this becomes a trend where it's going to keep being cold for the vast majority of the year, I may or may not be moving to Arizona or Florida... Before I deleted my Pinterest account, I saved quite a few quotes to my computer ov[...]

The Lost Art of Deep Thinking

In school these days, or at least in mine, I've noticed a similar pattern over the years. It's the fact that whenever there's a mention of really deep topics, it's like kids can't even handle it. They either tune it out completely, thinking it's irrelevant to them and they just don't care, or it honestly scares them off, and they just cou[...]

The Things You Don’t Forget

Psychologically speaking, we know that there are certain memories that stay ingrained in us for long periods of time, if not ever. Unfortunately, traumatic experiences are an example of this. 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[...]

In the Midst of Complex Problems

There are an innumerable amount of problems in this society, and as I grow up, I realize how complex some of these really are. You know, when you're young, it's so easy to just say something and then be on your way, even with faith. It's so easy to just say something like to trust God, but then you get older, and there's so much complexit[...]

Life Lately and What I’ve Learned

Remember my post from yesterday where I talked about (a) how fast time is going and (b) I'm so overwhelmed with thoughts to write about that I don't even know where to start? It feels weird to just jump in with a super deep, serious post since I just came off of my long blogging absence from June 2017, but I'm itching to write those posts[...]

Welcome Back!!

Hi everyone!! Thank you so much for coming back to my blog that has been inactive since June 2017...!!! I really am so sorry for that; I never wanted to quit blogging for that long, so I am stoked that I can finally blog again. I'll attempt to explain my absence in this blog post, but this is truly like a flashback to January 2015 when I[...]

Unplugging

I've been unplugging from the world lately. It's summer, and on my first day of summer, I knew something had to change. I've taken a big interest in psychology lately. I think it's amazing how everything in life stems from your mind. Including how you look at life. And I knew I needed a new perspective. I've hated my thought life for[...]

Finding Yourself | My Middle School Journey

It seems like just yesterday I was entering fifth grade. Here in a week now, I'll already be done. A freshman in high school. That's actually hitting me now. Plus I ended up passing my driver's test, and I did get my permit, so you all need to stay off the sidewalks now. ;) I have been ready to be done with middle school for quite so[...]

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[...]

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.
