The Best (Inspiring) Books Ever, Lately

My favorite genre is realistic fiction that has some life lessons, and bonus points if they have faith. I've also been reading some nonfiction stuff over God and different things, so here's some[...]

Show It

I have a lot of pet peeves, but this one in particular. I really hate it when people claim they have God, but their lifestyle could not prove that to be more wrong. It really upsets me because I feel like that isn't fair to the people who truly want to live for Him. This generation has forgotten what it means to show faith. You can s[...]

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[...]

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.
