1.4.19~Let's Be Godly Women...

"There's a song by Jamie Grace that I absolutely LOVE right now. It's called Daughter Of The King . But I can't help but sing the chorus on days that just get me down, and it goes like this...

"The Maker of skies.
The Maker of seas.
The Maker of every beautiful thing,
He made you.
He made you, too.
The mountain high.
The river wide.
He tells the sun when to set and rise
And He made you,
He made you, too.
You're a daughter of the King.
So tell me, 'What does that make you?'"

I can't help but just find such joy and peace in these words. I certainly think that I discovered this song at the perfect time in my life.

I am honestly so tired of hearing about "feminism" and "girl boss" junk in this world. I have no problem with women wanting the same pay and stuff as men, but it is all a little excessive. I look in the Bible at Proverbs 31 and it talks about being a humble women. being kind. being wise. being gentle.
I get that times are different then they were back then and that women's place in society is different now. But I love to see stay at home moms who love on their families. I look at my own mom, and how she has sacrificed so much to stay home with me and my younger sister and homeschool us. She is such an example of a Proverbs 31 woman and that's far and few between these days.


Women of the world are told to be tough. be coarse. use whatever attitude necessary.
fame and fortune are a must. take everything they'll give. if you've got it, flaunt it. be popular.

We as women of Jesus are called to be different from the world and to stand out. We should be tender. kind. refined. faithful. of virtue. be pure.

Even in my side of culture as a high school girl, I'm told to just be who I am. Even if that means I'm the popular girl boss who thinks she's better. But that is opposite of anything I want to be. I want to be exactly what God has called us to be as women.

I hope this doesn't step on any toes, but I just think that it is important to be tough, but also be gentle and kind, as Jesus has called. I'm not against being ambitious, but being ambitious for the things that God has set before us and called us to.


love always,

A Life With Love is a Life That's Been Lived~12.29.23

      "It's been a year. And I ain't saying it ain't been a good one. It's been a did a lot more than I could one. It's been 365 record lows and record highs, loving and losing, fun and confusing, praying and shifting gears. For the minute you've got, it's probably a lot more than you wanna hear. So all I'll say is, it's been a year."           -Ashely Cooke     For those of you who may not know, we lost my mom after a long battle with cancer on December 20. Some of you have walked alongside myself and my family in during all the way through her journey and some of you may not have. None the less, I feel as if it is my duty to share her story, her life, and her beauty through her story and her journey. So, feel free to stick around and read, though it might possibly be the longest post I've ever shared. ♥     On April 12, 2022, I was at work as if it was any other day. For me, it was. I vividly remember sitting in our "two...

Tuesday Evening Thoughts~11.14.23

 In 1855, a man by the name of Joseph M. Scriven, wrote a poem in order to comfort his mother. She was living in Ireland and he resided in Canada at the time. Joseph published this poem anonymously and never was recognized for it until almost thirty years later. Yet, this poem has become what we now know as the old hymn,  "What a Friend We Have in Jesus."        I often find myself hearing this song and thinking so deeply on the words of it. The depth of which this poem was written (later turned into a song) is something that as a young child I grew up singing in church as the average Sunday hymn. I never thought twice about the true meaning of it until I was much older and encountered things in life that taught me to rely on the Lord. None the less, I'd like to share what I've learned and what the Lord has showed me through this beautiful song.  "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear!...

12.31.18~Here's To 2019!

2019 is obviously upon us...it's a new year, hopefully of new things. I want to do new things. I want to try new things. I want to sing new songs. Meet new people. etc. etc. I'm excited to see where 2019 takes me and the special people in my life. I'm looking forward to seeing how God works in and through me! I want Him to use me in any ways He sees fit. I want Him to use my music, my blog, and my youtube channel for His glory. I have some goals and hopes for this next year, and I just wanted to share some of those with you. So the first thing that I am setting as a goal for 2019 is to simply "trust more. worry less." I often find myself worrying about all kinds of things, big and small. I want to trust Jesus more and worry a WHOLE LOT less. I don't want to worry about school, church, music, or anything. I want to learn to be more fluid and flexible. I definitely want to just release stress over things and just breathe. I want to be more in the moment and ...
