About Me

Hey, I'm Ashley! A type A gal trying to find serenity in this mind of mine that never stops. I'm a wife and a mom, working a full-time job and trying to get back to my creative side that I lost along the way. This blog is to motivate myself to be the best version of me by documenting what I have done, what I want to do, and my experiences with this chaotic life. I hope I can also inspire others who are feeling lost to do the same. Thanks for stopping by!

There is a reason patience is a fruit of the Spiri

There is a reason patience is a fruit of the Spirit. It requires discipline, obedience, and a complete surrender to oneself. I have written in my Bible beside Galatians 5:22, fruit of the Spirit vs works of the flesh. Which one is in the driver seat for you? Hint: only one will produce fruit.

Happy Saturday friends! This week made me wonder w

Happy Saturday friends! This week made me wonder what our country would look like if we all strived to seek who the Lord is and wanted to be in a relationship with Him. Have you tried? Do you know where to start? Bible study with women who have the desire to understand the Lord has been so important to me. It has helped me answer those hard questions and gave me peace when everything else failed. And I still fail as a Christian, the Word explains that but it also provides hope to us all. Looking forward to celebrating the upcoming season of that hope.

“You will keep the mind that is dependent on you

“You will keep the mind that is dependent on you in perfect peace, for it is trusting in you. Trust in the Lord forever, because in the Lord, the Lord himself, is an everlasting rock!”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭CSB‬‬

“Lord, you will establish peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26‬:‭12‬ ‭CSB‬‬

It always amazes me how God works. I could be stressed out on being behind on @thebiblerecap or even give up, but when I read today’s message it just reminds me how God is always working.

Lord, I pray for our country today. Regardless, of the outcome, I pray that we see a nation that turns to You. All candidates and the elected President, turn to You for guidance and trust. You are sovereign over everything Lord. We trust in You! Amen.

My downtown Wednesday walks help me find time to breathe and relax so I can think clearly. It also reminds me to not get caught up in what isn’t going right but to open my eyes and see the blessings God has put before me.

What helps you to open your eyes to the blessings around you?

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬

It’s the weekend and our family is usually somew

It’s the weekend and our family is usually somewhere on a sports field! Sports are such a big part of our lives. I truly believe that with the right coaches and supportive, loving, and God-fearing family, kids will have experiences and develop skills on the field that will help them succeed as they grow into adults. My husband shared this podcast with me and I love that we can listen to it with our kids in the car. They have so many amazing athletes on this show that provide great advice not just for youth sports but raising good kids. Below are some of my notes I took. Check them out (link will be in stories and saved in highlights under parenting) and enjoy! Happy weekend friends 💕

- [ ] Our job as parents is to teach our kids spiritual discipline.
- [ ] Multiple sports YES!!!
- [ ] Where does God sit in our priorities every day?
- [ ] Be creative to find time with the Lord when you can’t make it to church Sunday 👏
- [ ] Don’t push your passion on your kids
- [ ] Humility requires a lot of confidence in knowing your identity and who you are.
Question: where does your identity come from?
- [ ] Play the game right no matter what! Character is important more than how your kids are playing!
- [ ] Sports can shape character if done right…with Jesus!
- [ ] Coaches- check your motives. Is it about you?
- [ ] Teach each kid differently…what is their pulse?
- [ ] Find what your kid is passionate about and cheer them along even if you don’t know anything about. Don’t live vicariously through your kids!
- [ ] Open lines of communication, no condemning, no coaching, listen. Don’t always give advice.
- [ ] Kids are approved by Mom and Dad no matter what. They don’t need to seek out approval! Our love doesn’t come from their performance.

Yes to Genesis 🙌

I am so thankful for the work @lilaroseofficial d

I am so thankful for the work @lilaroseofficial does in speaking truth. Though the debate is over a week old, and media continues to share their narrative, take some time to listen to something different to compare it to what you see in media and read/hear from others. Ask yourself how did your worldview develop on these topics and does your worldview align with every scenario there is under these topics.

I love how Lila points out the comments that are not truthful from both parties and elaborates with truth.

So how do you decide on what party to vote for? The podcast I posted last week with @natasharcrain can help with that. I saved the link in my highlights.

Notes I took from this podcast for you to think about:

- [ ] Do you know what happens to babies that survive an abortion attempt in Minnesota?
- [ ] Do you know the response of the previous Governor of Virginia when he was asked what would happen to a baby that survived an abortion attempt?
- [ ] Why are there exceptions? Pro-life is not exceptions.
- [ ] When/Why should someone decide if a baby lives or dies?
- [ ] What is abortion? Intentional killing of a baby
- [ ] Does abortion violate our constitution?
- [ ] What does protection mean?
- [ ] What is morality? Is protecting your body more moral than protecting an innocent child’s life?
- [ ] We don’t own our children, we are entrusted with them 💕 Purpose!
- [ ] What is a miscarriage?
- [ ] Abortion doesn’t take away rape or create justice for the mother. Abortion takes out lethal violence (the death penalty) on a new life/innocent 3rd party. Abortion is another act of violence.
- [ ] Overturn of Wade vs Roe is only the beginning, not the end!

*These are my notes. Not perfect. If you don’t like them and it makes you angry then it’s time to have that discussion with yourself why it makes you angry and understand the root of that.

You don’t have to be a Christian to listen to this episode. My hope is that it will give you some things to think about to make an educated decision about the election this year. Can you answer these questions with supporting evidence?

Notes and things to think about:

- Romans 13: 1-7
- Do you know what Critical Theory is?
- Where should civil rulers get their guidance from?
- Are there times when Christians should engage in civil disobedience?
- What is the purpose of government?
-Promoting the good and limit the evil.
- What is good and evil? Who defines good and evil?
- What if both parties promote evil?

I followed the sun the other day for it to disappear when I got to Sunrise Park. I still took the time to walk to the end and on my way back the sun started shining brightly. It was a reminder that He never leaves us, even during the dark times, but will we choose to remember Him at all times?

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭1‬-‭5

Please watch the link in my stories to this interv

Please watch the link in my stories to this interview regarding the abortion pill Mifeprex. The FDA is supposed to protect the safety of patients. How is a patient being protected if they are allowed to go home alone with medication without any physician consult? I’m hesitant to even post this type of news resource but this correspondent is absolutely right regarding all the concerns with the FDA approving this and the risks women face. On top of that, look what we are spending time voting on. I’m not here for negative comments, I just want people to think….When did our most important decisions start with ‘I can decide when life starts and if that life is important enough to keep or not’?

Just in case you look through feed and judge a book by its cover. See previous post and read caption.

For the past 6 months, I have committed to understand different worldviews and how Christians should engage in society and still live out their faith biblically. It has been challenging and even though I have 4 months to go, I know this is a continuous journey as our culture continues to change and until the day my Creator calls me home. My purpose in life is to serve Him, not myself or others. I will fail because I am human, and I know I will be shamed and outcasted by people I don’t know including those closest to me. But one thing I do know is that through His Son there is eternal hope for us all and love like Jesus is the only way.

I leave the below for you to think about regarding this decision and suggest you read the comments to the post to see if there is any truth to it.

‘Yet one of the great myths of our day is that we are islands- that our decisions are personal and that no one has a right to tell us what to do in our private lives. We easily forget that every private decision contributes to the moral and cultural climate in which we live, rippling out in ever widening circles- first in our personal and family lives, and then in the broader society. That’s because every decision we make reflects our worldview. Every choice, every action, either expresses a false worldview and thus contributes to a disordered and broken world, or expresses God’s truth and helps build a world that reflects His created order~ Chuck Colson
