My Experience in Las Vegas, Part 2

Welcome to part two of my Las Vegas series! I'm not going to spend a lot of time blabbing before we dive right into it because I'm already so embarrassed by how long these posts are, even with being divided up, and how long even my social media captions are. 🥲 I don't know how I evolved from writing four paragraphs and calling it a da[...]

My Experience in Las Vegas, Part 1

I am so excited to write this recap of my girl's trip to THE CITY OF SIN!!! I write it that way for ironic reasons, of course. I've got a lot of explaining to do with this one, and I am going to warn you right off the bat that this post will be a book—or it originally was going to be. Ha, I know, when aren't they, but I think I've been[...]

My Favorite Christmas Songs

Well, it's time to start thinking about Christmas already! What a joy it is to get in the Christmas mood and spirit and reflect on the sort of "beginning" to the story of our salvation (even though God had it planned all along...). As the days go by and I get older (how pathetic do I sound right now), I keep realizing how important it is[...]

The Truth About Judging

This is a hard post for me to write but one that has been in my queue since I was 13. I also wanted to title it "Yeah, I'm Judging You" at the time but I think the title I have now is more fitting. Why is this hard to write? Because this is a bit of a tricky subject to explain, especially in a culture that is so hostile to the truth abou[...]

My Experience Reading REDEEMING LOVE by Francine Rivers | My Favorite Book

As I've been constantly alluding to, I want to talk about one of my new favorite Christian fiction novels, Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. This book caused a lot of controversy when its movie adaptation was released in fall 2021, but prior to that, I'd been under a rock about its existence—many Christians I'd followed proclaimed it[...]

Encouragement from My Mom and Grandma

I know I've said it several times before how much my mom and grandma have been such godly influences in my life. They have steadfastly stood by me since I was born, and they've never wavered in the depth of their love even as I underwent seasons of depression and anxiety and all around was very obsessive and cynical at times—including[...]

When Christian Fiction Isn’t Edifying

I have been waiting to write about this topic because I think it's essential as someone who is always reading and publicly recommending Christian fiction authors and novels. I'm going to be very up-front about all of this because people really have to address it honestly for there to be positive change. No industry is perfect, includ[...]

Who Have I but You?

There is a certain Scripture Lullaby and Bible verse it quotes that always makes me pause when I hear it. As soon as I identify the lullaby, I know I want to listen to it, and a deep reverence falls over me. I have so many Scripture Lullabies I love, but this one is different because for me, it encapsulates all the rest. It's why they al[...]

My Favorite Comfort Movies

Movies bring me such joy, or my favorites do, that is. I've already spent a lot of time talking about my favorite movies, though, such as what they say about life here. I was originally going to make a list of all my favorite inspirational movies, but then I got to be thinking, some of these I can't spiritualize even if I want to, and 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.
