Hi 5 Live with Ashlee

I was asked to be on a Facebook Live show called Hi 5 Live. Somehow my phone saved the recording. So bonus. I posted it on Youtube. It is Emmett's birthday today, thank you all for sending love for him. We will take it on to his family this weekend at their annual birthday celebration. Have a great weekend.

Praying for Brussels

Every time a tragic event happens in our world it is easy to become full of fear. Triggers to the fears of so many yesterday's. Fear of the unknown of tomorrow. 

I have to remember these truths over and over again. Fear is a tool to make us forget about faith. Faith is what will get us through. Hold tight to that when the storms rage and there will be no place for the fear. ‪#‎prayforourworld‬ ‪#‎prayingforBrussels‬

How to find God as you battle Imperfection and Loneliness

I always feel inadequate for the job of writing marriage articles for FamilyShare.com. Thanks for letting me anyway. We all have much to learn in this thing called relationships. So grateful I get to learn by sharing moments He has given me to remind me of His love.

New Stories

It has been really incredible these last few weeks to see my writing on different avenues. Thank you to all the supporters I have who have urged me forward in my writing. I am learning a lot. Especially about how to get to the point! Obviously not my strong point when a story has to be taken from thousands of words to 700. I have a hard time letting go of the details. Haha. Here are some of my recent articles that have been published. One on Family Share, one in Oklahoma, and the other for She Knows.com. Thanks to all the editors who are encouraging and kind as I learn the ropes.
