God has taught me that if I'm lonely, He can be my best friend. He also has been teaching me how to share God on youtube! I have inspired a lot of my channel on your Channel Ash, so thank you for being here to help others spread the love of God to the world! 🙌💞🌆
I loved this video! I've been in a waiting season for several things for over a year so I totally relate! I feel like this summer the fires of the furnace have gotten hotter though! Thank you for such encouraging content! Can you do a video on fun things to do with friends in Nashville?
My girl!! I am walking there right there with you in this waiting season and I is sooo difficult. ! But you are so faithful and the best example to young women! The Lord is so pleased with you Ashley! ❤️❤️
I love your videos so much! As a Christian who’s family aren’t super religious, your videos help me so much in getting closer to God, and inspiring my family to get closer to God! Thank you!
God bless you too! Remember Christianity is all about a relationship with God through the religion! All God wants from you and your family/ friends etc is your heart and and willingness to surrender to him as he knows best and he will direct your paths to the path of righteousness which leads to him! With God you’ll lack nothing!
Quotes by Ashley, “pov: God said I’m gonna make you leave your house, but not go far.” Ashley you are such a light! God is gonna use this season of faithfulness! Thank you for being such a good example, I’m 16 and so thankful for your content
Wow! I don’t know if you’ll gonna see this message, but, Ashley, how God has been using your videos to speak to me 😭😭 I’m Brazilian, i usually watch your videos to learn more vocabulary about Christian routine, and during the week, God’s speaking the same thing to me, it’s amazing 😭😭 Thank u, girl!! God bless you
I will say I had a loooong season of singleness and am now married for 7 years with 2 kiddos, praise God. Now in hindsight I treasure my season of singleness because my it brought me the closest I have ever been to God and really built the foundation that I draw from even now. Keep putting yourself out there, don't give up. I asked God to take away that desire for a husband if that path was not for me, and He never took that desire away...so then I felt more at peace because the desire I had did not go away however I felt strongly that it would come...all in God's timing of course.
Okay this is my sign to go back to church and meet my christian sisters again after 5 yrs of isolating❤ thank you Ashley for your videos! It helped me a lot 😭❤️
This video is amazing!😊💕 Sometimes a single season can be a blessing because I feel not every one is destined to be in a relationship or marriages. I find more comfort in my single season season with God then to be in a relationship or Marriage that doesn’t fulfill me. I Love being single and mainly focused on God. 💕I know one day it may change but for now I’m just love myself with myself as the woman God created.🙏🏾
I really needed this video right now. I just had a huge fight/disagreement w my bf and it is rly hard bc of how i view some things and I struggle with thinking I am better than those who don’t know how to live the way I do or something like that…and times like this is when idk how I can have a bf rn. Meaning like how am I actually ready. I know I can’t be perfect but things like this hurt a lot bc I’m like how can we move forward when this feels like a big roadblock…He is also my first bf so I have already waited so much, and God told the both of us that we were the one for each other, so it makes me more committed to making sure we both are moving forward and all that. And I am also a really honest person. Not like brutally honest lol, but it hurts me to hold things in basically. And so I let this one thing out to him and it was very backhanded and I didn’t realize it, but it’s apart of how I view things and now he knows even more that I see him and his family like that and others like that. And hearing u guys say how I am not alone in this struggle rly helped. I actually just did read a verse too about how our fellow christians are going through the same hardships around the world too. I forget what it was lol. But this is so hard rn…and ofc our 7 month anniversary is tmr which feels weird bc idk how to move forward with this. I will be praying and leaving this in God’s hands and prob need to spend some time in worship too, but idk. Just felt like commenting that bc i wasnt even planning on watching this video but I love ur videos so so much and I knew it was going to help me. I also rly never comment haha so this was something different for me to do too lol :)
When she was saying BY FAITH I was pointing my hands at my screen going YES GIRL YES 👏 Love you Ashley keep going God has so much for His kingdom and it’s lovely seeing you be apart of that.
Ashley we love you so much and always remember God has a perfect plan for you!! He has already done amazing things in your life and is using you to build His kingdom! 💗💗💗
Ashely when you said "I'm not going to meet people if I stay in my house" I felt that. I have been needing a push to study for my learners permit because oh my gosh it is just so boring. But when you said I felt like God whispered in my ear "you have been praying for community but you aren't doing anything to get closer to being able to meet people."
What good timing for this video to come out for me. I've been going through a waiting season on trying to get more connected in a church community and make close Christian friends. And since it's not happening on my timeline and as fast as I want it to go, it's hard to ignore the enemy's lies of "this is too hard, just stop going to church, small group, etc." But I keep trying to perserve through the spiritual warfare and trusting in God's timing and plans for me 🙏🏻💕
That was hilarious during the GRWM when you said Wow this waiting season is testing your faith...God's timing is so much broader than we are capable of imagining, let alone seeing. Faith is based on believing that he moves mountains because he can and does daily! The truth is that the air we breathe is a gift but because we take it for 'granted' we don't see the miracle that happens each and every time we breathe in and exhale. We do that only because God has provided the oxygen and blend of gases that we need. He plans our lives literally down to the molecule! 🌺
I’m so glad that you can be honest with your viewers, sometimes people try to make everything online seem perfect and wonderful, but they don’t show the hard times, you honestly straight up said that you’ve been struggling with faith, you could have said nothing, but no, you were honest! And I greatly appreciate that! God bless!❤️
I am in a waiting season but unfortunately stepped away from God. I took matters into my own hands; long story short, I made a bad mistake and embarrassed myself in the process. When you and Emily talked about Sarah's story and how she took matters into her own hands I thought of myself. I allowed the enemy to start a snowball effect in my life and I believe that is one thing that caused me to experience what I experienced. I am blessed to have a great community that I can talk to and they have helped me understand what I am going through and start my healing process with God. I would appreciate it if you all could pray for me during this time of healing and growing with God.
Waaahh I love it when your videos are long! Perfect to watch while I'm on my coffee break 🥰 By the way, I also just want to share that it's possible that you're going through redemptive suffering (Colossians 1:34) about being single. You have shared how sometimes it feels unfair that other Christians get their prayers answered right away, but not for others, and I sometimes feel that way, too. I think though that God is answering this specific prayer of yours first: to love others with a selfless kind of love. I think you being single is a way for God to use you as hope for those who are going through the same thing. And I say this because you also personally help me cope with being single. I'm 31 and I've only had toxic relationships in the past, and it's only really now that I've come to totally surrender that area of my life to the LORD with your help. Anyway, thank you for this time well spent again with you through your videos!! I'm praying for you everyday 🙏🏻🌹 God bless you more!
I can’t believe I’m barely discovering you channel! 🥹✨ Such a blessing from the Lord. Keep standing in the truth & stay firm in the faith sister 🙏🏼💗 Jesus is coming back!
100% with you on the gap between the content in the season that I’m in and the hope that He can do the thing that I wait so hard on. I’ve been single for a long time, and I was doubting God’s goodness recently. But it hit me hard when you said “If you only believe in God when He gives you what you want 24/7, then you are believing genie not God.” I was even questioning if wanting and praying for my future spouse was not even His will and that I should just quit it. Glad I’m not alone in this. I’ll pray for you Ashley, please pray for me.
Ash, thank you so much for your videos. You and Jesus are my absolute best friends in this season because I just moved far away from my old home and your videos have helped me so much in feeling Loved! 💞🙌 You truly speak life into others and have helped me develop my Channel to share the good news of God! I love you so much and thank you sincerely for everything you do! 🙌 Blessings, 🌿Aspen🌿
You are doing an amazing job Aspen on your channel!! I'm so glad He is working through you and that you are sharing Jesus' love!❤ Praying for you sister in Christ!!
So pumped for this series Ash! I loved everything about this first video 🥰 I’m 37, married, and a mom of 2, but you have been such a light in my life. I watch these throughout my work day & I always feel the presence of the Lord. God has me (and has had me) in a season of waiting for a while now. If I’m honest, it’s so hard & sometimes, I question things. I know I shouldn’t, but I’m human. Being in the waiting is HARD. Thank you for being honest about your struggles…it helps so many who are walking through the same waters. “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.”-Romans 12:12, English Standard Version. Keep being a light to God’s people and those who are still in darkness 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻 much love ❤
Yes love, thank you for sharing your personal struggles with us. It is greatly appreciated and I believe that the thing you have been waiting for is already on its way! Our God is faithful and he can't lie. Continue to hold on to his promises. - Another sis in Christ:)
You are awesome and I’m cracking up because I’ve had a very similar summer. So good, lots of waiting and growing but God is still so good. Keep it up girl!
Glad to hear I am not alone! It's overwelming because I went through a peak season to now just completely waiting for something to happen. I didn't guard my heart because I became bitter towards the many situation and found myself heartbroken. I was letting the enemy win. Now I've chosen to let go of my desire to control things and just humble myself. I took that decision the day I watched the Holy 40 Challenge video. Greatly thankful to you and to God for still lettinng me experience his grace during the storm.
I love your aesthetics! that's what drew me to your videos. I love the message you gave about waiting seasons, I needed to hear that bc I was doubting and struggling to believe. Waiting seasons are hard! I am grateful that my faith will increase when this is done bc like every season it has its end..Thank you for being transparent.
thank you so much for making these videos Ash!! i love these so much! if you’re still struggling to see why God allows terrible things to happen, i would tell you he allows them and uses them as ways to draw you closer to him and cause you to rely on him more. God gave us free will on earth to choose him or choose something else, and in doing so he allows the realm of sin to exist. but it just makes it all the more sweeter when we freely choose him over it, and we appreciate him more because we’ve experienced the alternative. hope that helps ❤
I really like your videos, you are so genuine, transmit a positive energy, thanks for show us your life and gives a new perspective about Jesus ❤, God Bless You!💫
Hey Ash, I was just gonna try to let you know that you’re not alone. I’ve been going through a waiting season for about three years I would say I really don’t know what that kind of feels like to just have like every wish. Granted I guess I would’ve more experience that as a child since I grew up in such a like Christian home and had Christ around me since the day I was born But a few months ago back in I think it was June. I gave my life to Christ for the first time and really surrendered everything, but I never really went through that like honeymoon. Of him granting every single wish which kind of made me feel a little bit alone, but I feel like God is trying to teach me right now that I need to have faith even when everything seems like it’s going completely downhill and nothing is going the way that I wanted it to and life is just complete chaos. I think he’s teaching me to have patience, be strong, and strengthen my faith through, just like living out his word, and trying to just believe that he moving even when I don’t hear him speaking because I’ve never really heard God speak in that way, but I believe that he can and I know at some point I will be in heaven and I will be able to talk to God and have conversations with him every single day and I know that I’ll be able to see his face and Ash girl you have just been helping me out so much and just realizing that a waiting season doesn’t mean God isn’t moving. It just means that you can’t see him moving that’s why we have to have faith be strong and just hold on and keep on going even through the really hard season, and even though many bad things have happened to me I am so thankful for God because I would not be here if it wasn’t for God.❤❤❤❤✝️✝️✝️😇😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏
The way that I read a Christian book last night that said that I had to make friendships and love my top priority and that relationships are the ones that matter in the end & God showed me this video about you saying that love is what matters most in the end!
Love your videos! Your positive spirit and personality is so refreshing. I love that you are not ashamed and want to encourage others to deepen their walk with the Lord. I would love to see more day in my life type vlogs and maybe your favorite go to places in Nashville (I love Nashville!) I always want to try new places and restaurants when I get a chance to go! Keep doing what you're doing!
Loved this ❤ ive been reading Matt 6 where Jesus teaches us how to pray!! First we worship in prayer and acknowledging his position, authority, and power, and then move onto our requests with humility, if its his will He will provide! Love this reminder
Ashley, you are amazing. I am young and I am just trying to get a stronger relationship with the Lord. All your videos help me so much and I will be praying for you and your new friendships, as well as this waiting season you're in. ❤ You're the best!
Hi Ashley, answering your question at 16:41 'Why does God allow terrible things to happen?' I have briefly read a few commentaries about this and this is the conclusion I have gathered. God wants to show us the epitomy of his glory, so by allowing us to experince terrible things, reveals God's ability to save us from the tribulation. When we are saved, we realise that only God could save us from such a terrible circumstance that seemed impossible to escape. After God saves us, we begin to comprehend a human being with only natural strengths couldn't save us in this way, so it has to be God's supernatural strength. I believe this is true because I have seen this in my own life & the bible references to this concept through the tribulations and glory that people in the bible face. A main example is, Jesus suffered agonising torture then he was resurrected and exalted among everyone and in heaven. ❤
Love the video.. guys remember this life is for the Lord.. everything we do is for Him.. God does not have to adjust to our life but we are the ones that need to adjust and be content with that He has given us..❤❤
I loved this video!! My goal this summer, is to starting trusting God. I also want to study the Bible more! I would love to see daily vlogs, as well as a morning & night routine! I love you queen🫶🏻
hey ashley! i love your content and it is helping me grow my relationship with Jesus. could you make some more content on consistency in faith? you are such a blessing!
I loving these Holy Girl Diaries: Summer Edition. Also, I would love videos on cooking. Your food always looks so good, and my goal for this summer is to try more food. God Bless 🫶🏽
A really great song is 'Even If' by MercyMe which basically talks about exactly the same thing, when God doesn't show up the way we expect Him too and how even if He doesn't show up immediately or in the way we expect He's still good and faithful. I really recommend listening to it!
Yes keep the Faith! Love content & advice for those that are single & living Christian life. I was single for 25 years before I met my loving husband, so worth the wait 💕 It's all in God's timing for sure but prepare yourself for marriage if that is what you desire. Read books on marriage such as "Marriage: 6 Gospel Commitments Every Couple Needs to Make" by Paul David Tripp, "The Meaning of Marriage" by Timothy Keller, "Sacred Marriage" by Gary Thomas, "Now You're Speaking my Language" by Gary Chapman, also get advice from other couples. I wish I would have done that in my season of singleness. Make a list of characteristics that you are looking for in future husband & give it to God. Prepare for your next season whether new job, ministry, joining small group, moving to another town/state, etc. Try to meet up with friends & family as much as you can, they love you so much!
Ashley thank you for each of your beautiful videos. You have such a deep love for God and for His people. You are loved friend! ❤🎉 God bless you today!
Thank you Ashley for be real with us about where your at rn🫶🫶I was feeling the same way as you recently but watching your video has given me more faith and motivation!! God bless you❤️
yes. I'm struggling in my waiting season. It's so hard! You know what I don't get.. How people who don't believe in God are blessed with friends and job Opportunities.
ashley I have been meaning to get out of my comfort zone too. so I'm going to a self-defense class for the first time. can you make a video about the qualities of a good Christian friend??? I've been confused about who my true friends are, and a video on that topic would really help.
Love your videos! 😍 i recently found your channel through Instagram and am very grateful that I found your amazing content! I was thinking about what you said about Got “testing” us and how i think that is almost too negative. I try to think of “testings” as an opportunity for us to return our love, to return our trust, to return our mind and body. He gave himself for us and those seasons give us opportunities to respond and show what we’ve learned and become practical about it. To show and acknowledge our honest need for him, and that it’s only by grace - and even if not, he is still good. Often in the hardest times we experience God the most because that’s when we truly have to rely on him and he can truly show up! In the impossible situations he can show that nothing is impossible for him and he will be glorified the most 🙌🏼 even visible to others, that saw the impossible but witnessed the unbelievable ❤
🙏🏽 In the meantime… In the Waiting season … I reminded myself, it’s not that God is not working … it’s HE is doing HIS will, I need to see in the wait I am being grown, stretched, humbled and tested ! So, when I hear myself say where is God ? I quickly say no Lita … Where is your focus and trust 🙏🏽 I too am Single and this season is Hope Filled Summer Season ! Whoop Whoop
the point is not to look at the idea of "why does God allow bad things to happen to people" but RATHER to reflect on how struggle and pain entered the world: through our sin. this is why we struggle this is why there is pain. with more reason to cling to Jesus who comforts the SOUL and MIND. this worldly struggle is very short. “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.” (2 Corinthians 4:17) Thanks for the content Ash!
So grateful that while you’re in a waiting season you continue to share your honest thoughts with us it’s so encouraging! Currently in my waiting season too🙃 “He’s going to be faithful or we’ll just go to heaven!”😂 love you!💖
Dear Ashley, coming from a non Christian family, i kinda feel lost and alone. You're helping me sooo much ! Please could you do another video about modest fashion please ? ❤
Ashley, thank you so much for reminding me that I am not alone. You are truly a blessing 💖 I would love for you to show us how to get into a Christian community. Did you go through your church or did you search events for Christians?
The amount of excitement that I just got when I saw that you posted🩷! I love the way that you do your videos while keeping it God centered. You’re the best.
ok so for the fits i liked the shorts she chose for you they were really different but idk about the fit you chose for her the denim on denim was an interesting choice
Regarding our waiting seasons, don't be a Sarah. Sarah was told she was going to have a baby and she laughed. But she waited. And waited. Until she took matters into her own hands, giving Hagar to her husband, thinking THAT'S the way they were to have a son. And with that one decision she changed the course of the future for mankind. Muslim (Ishmael descendents) and Christian (Isaac descendents) wars have plagued mankind since. My point: wait on the Lord. It was 13 or 14 years AFTER Ishmael before Isaac was born. God's timing is not our timing. Sarah leaned on her own understanding (or misunderstanding TBH) and she was wrong in that. So be patient. Enjoy your singleness. Your time and attention can wholeheartedly be focused on the Lord in this season. When your mate comes along, in God's timing, you will then be focused on him. Yes, you'll still be focused on God but it won't be the same as in your singleness. Enjoy this season. There are many seasons coming in your life. Walking with God is the best way to enter each of them as they come. You're doing good! Thank you for your videos of encouragement and godly guidance for others. I'm a 55 year old widow, married at 21, blessed with 4 children, and widowed at 46. I've been thru several seasons and I know I have more. But you are a blessing to listen to (my 14 yr old daughter tuned me in to your channel) and even at my age and after the seasons I've walked thru, i still glean good things from your words. ❤ Hang in there. Keep walking with Him and teaching others.
Selfless acts of kindness ❤ i help my elderly 🧓 neighbor that enriches me with favored blessings and cleanses my heart i stay constantly in the house. World is crazy and careful not to be around montering spirits. Like mindedness, which is challenging to find. So i stay isolated in prayer prayer 🙏🏽 cleaning meditation 🧘♀️ knitting and crocheting ❤reading 📖 crafting watching movies. Drinking 🍵 😊green 😊
Hi I don’t know if you will see this ( it okay if you don’t 😄) but I want to say am 13 and most of my school friends don’t believe in God and it breaks my ❤ and even when I try to talk about God they laugh and disrespect my boundaries so I hope you know your vids have gave my hope and peace. Plz NEVER stop making content because your like my best friend thank you and thanks to God He lead to the right influence ❤❤❤❤❤❤✝️✝️✝️✝️
It’s been so hard I’ve been taking matters into my own hands and becoming hard headed in my heart and hating God a bit i just wanna be happy, I also see I don’t at the same time like I still keep making the same mistakes and wanting things I shouldn’t so idk y’all pray for me
I LOVE YOU!! what’s one thing God has been teaching you this summer?! 🍯🌻
That although relashionships are important,there are some which can wait.Especially romantic.If I can't have a relashionship without obsessing over it more than God,I need to take a step back and refocus.SINGLENESS IS A BLESSING

What good timing for this video to come out for me. I've been going through a waiting season on trying to get more connected in a church community and make close Christian friends. And since it's not happening on my timeline and as fast as I want it to go, it's hard to ignore the enemy's lies of "this is too hard, just stop going to church, small group, etc." But I keep trying to perserve through the spiritual warfare and trusting in God's timing and plans for me 🙏🏻💕

Thanks so much for sharing this! Literally needed to hear this right now. God bless you!
My goal this summer is to get even closer to God, to hear his voice, to speak in tongues, and to stop being anxious and just trust in him🦋
cmon sis!!
Love that you say, Hello God, while looking at the sun. I also love that you put others before yourself!
Thank you Ashley for sharing your relationship with God with us, its very encouraging and I pray God blesses you more!!

You have shared how sometimes it feels unfair that other Christians get their prayers answered right away, but not for others, and I sometimes feel that way, too.
I think though that God is answering this specific prayer of yours first: to love others with a selfless kind of love. I think you being single is a way for God to use you as hope for those who are going through the same thing. And I say this because you also personally help me cope with being single. I'm 31 and I've only had toxic relationships in the past, and it's only really now that I've come to totally surrender that area of my life to the LORD with your help.
Anyway, thank you for this time well spent again with you through your videos!! I'm praying for you everyday 🙏🏻🌹 God bless you more!
I can’t believe I’m barely discovering you channel! 🥹✨ Such a blessing from the Lord. Keep standing in the truth & stay firm in the faith sister 🙏🏼💗 Jesus is coming back!
God bless you. My devotional came in this morning and it was exactly what I needed. 🙏🏻
100% with you on the gap between the content in the season that I’m in and the hope that He can do the thing that I wait so hard on. I’ve been single for a long time, and I was doubting God’s goodness recently. But it hit me hard when you said “If you only believe in God when He gives you what you want 24/7, then you are believing genie not God.” I was even questioning if wanting and praying for my future spouse was not even His will and that I should just quit it. Glad I’m not alone in this. I’ll pray for you Ashley, please pray for me.
Ash, thank you so much for your videos. You and Jesus are my absolute best friends in this season because I just moved far away from my old home and your videos have helped me so much in feeling Loved! 💞🙌
You truly speak life into others and have helped me develop my Channel to share the good news of God! I love you so much and thank you sincerely for everything you do! 🙌
Blessings,
🌿Aspen🌿
You are doing an amazing job Aspen on your channel!! I'm so glad He is working through you and that you are sharing Jesus' love!❤ Praying for you sister in Christ!!
So pumped for this series Ash! I loved everything about this first video 🥰 I’m 37, married, and a mom of 2, but you have been such a light in my life. I watch these throughout my work day & I always feel the presence of the Lord. God has me (and has had me) in a season of waiting for a while now. If I’m honest, it’s so hard & sometimes, I question things. I know I shouldn’t, but I’m human. Being in the waiting is HARD. Thank you for being honest about your struggles…it helps so many who are walking through the same waters. “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.”-Romans 12:12, English Standard Version.
Keep being a light to God’s people and those who are still in darkness 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻 much love ❤
i am so so glad to have you here in this community sweet Kim. you are a joy!
Yes love, thank you for sharing your personal struggles with us. It is greatly appreciated and I believe that the thing you have been waiting for is already on its way! Our God is faithful and he can't lie. Continue to hold on to his promises. - Another sis in Christ:)
You are awesome and I’m cracking up because I’ve had a very similar summer. So good, lots of waiting and growing but God is still so good. Keep it up girl!
Glad to hear I am not alone! It's overwelming because I went through a peak season to now just completely waiting for something to happen. I didn't guard my heart because I became bitter towards the many situation and found myself heartbroken. I was letting the enemy win. Now I've chosen to let go of my desire to control things and just humble myself. I took that decision the day I watched the Holy 40 Challenge video. Greatly thankful to you and to God for still lettinng me experience his grace during the storm.
you are not alone 💗💗
Love your thoughts on a Waiting Season and on Sara ❤️🙏🏻
I love your aesthetics! that's what drew me to your videos. I love the message you gave about waiting seasons, I needed to hear that bc I was doubting and struggling to believe. Waiting seasons are hard! I am grateful that my faith will increase when this is done bc like every season it has its end..Thank you for being transparent.
thank you so much for making these videos Ash!! i love these so much! if you’re still struggling to see why God allows terrible things to happen, i would tell you he allows them and uses them as ways to draw you closer to him and cause you to rely on him more. God gave us free will on earth to choose him or choose something else, and in doing so he allows the realm of sin to exist. but it just makes it all the more sweeter when we freely choose him over it, and we appreciate him more because we’ve experienced the alternative. hope that helps ❤
Ashley, you have no idea how much of a blessing you are to me 💗💗 thank you for always pointing us to Jesus!!
Ashley your such a blessing:) I really love your morning routine/day in the life videos, they are sooooo inspirational🙌🏼
12:04 I'm LOVING this talk with you guys!!! More more more ❤
aw so glad you enjoy ❤❤
I really like your videos, you are so genuine, transmit a positive energy, thanks for show us your life and gives a new perspective about Jesus ❤, God Bless You!💫
Hey Ash, I was just gonna try to let you know that you’re not alone. I’ve been going through a waiting season for about three years I would say I really don’t know what that kind of feels like to just have like every wish. Granted I guess I would’ve more experience that as a child since I grew up in such a like Christian home and had Christ around me since the day I was born But a few months ago back in I think it was June. I gave my life to Christ for the first time and really surrendered everything, but I never really went through that like honeymoon. Of him granting every single wish which kind of made me feel a little bit alone, but I feel like God is trying to teach me right now that I need to have faith even when everything seems like it’s going completely downhill and nothing is going the way that I wanted it to and life is just complete chaos. I think he’s teaching me to have patience, be strong, and strengthen my faith through, just like living out his word, and trying to just believe that he moving even when I don’t hear him speaking because I’ve never really heard God speak in that way, but I believe that he can and I know at some point I will be in heaven and I will be able to talk to God and have conversations with him every single day and I know that I’ll be able to see his face and Ash girl you have just been helping me out so much and just realizing that a waiting season doesn’t mean God isn’t moving. It just means that you can’t see him moving that’s why we have to have faith be strong and just hold on and keep on going even through the really hard season, and even though many bad things have happened to me I am so thankful for God because I would not be here if it wasn’t for God.❤❤❤❤✝️✝️✝️😇😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏
The way that I read a Christian book last night that said that I had to make friendships and love my top priority and that relationships are the ones that matter in the end & God showed me this video about you saying that love is what matters most in the end!
NO WAY! thank you Jesus!
Love your videos! Your positive spirit and personality is so refreshing. I love that you are not ashamed and want to encourage others to deepen their walk with the Lord.
I would love to see more day in my life type vlogs and maybe your favorite go to places in Nashville (I love Nashville!) I always want to try new places and restaurants when I get a chance to go! Keep doing what you're doing!
Loved this ❤ ive been reading Matt 6 where Jesus teaches us how to pray!! First we worship in prayer and acknowledging his position, authority, and power, and then move onto our requests with humility, if its his will He will provide! Love this reminder
Ashley I love your videos so much! U put a smile on my face Everytime you post! Ur my favorite Christian TH-camr
i am SO GLAD you are here!
Ashley, you are amazing. I am young and I am just trying to get a stronger relationship with the Lord. All your videos help me so much and I will be praying for you and your new friendships, as well as this waiting season you're in. ❤ You're the best!
i am so so glad you are here in this community 💗
Loved this video so much! I love seeing your rawness and everyday walk with God.
i love your channel so much!! you can truly tell just how much you love the lord and how he’s shining through you. 🫶
Hi Ashley, answering your question at 16:41 'Why does God allow terrible things to happen?' I have briefly read a few commentaries about this and this is the conclusion I have gathered. God wants to show us the epitomy of his glory, so by allowing us to experince terrible things, reveals God's ability to save us from the tribulation. When we are saved, we realise that only God could save us from such a terrible circumstance that seemed impossible to escape. After God saves us, we begin to comprehend a human being with only natural strengths couldn't save us in this way, so it has to be God's supernatural strength. I believe this is true because I have seen this in my own life & the bible references to this concept through the tribulations and glory that people in the bible face. A main example is, Jesus suffered agonising torture then he was resurrected and exalted among everyone and in heaven. ❤
Love the video.. guys remember this life is for the Lord.. everything we do is for Him.. God does not have to adjust to our life but we are the ones that need to adjust and be content with that He has given us..❤❤
i love your videos, they really motivate me to grow my relationship with God and become a better Chrsitian. AND WE LOVE HOLY GIRL SUMMERR 🌺✝️
I loved this video!! My goal this summer, is to starting trusting God. I also want to study the Bible more! I would love to see daily vlogs, as well as a morning & night routine! I love you queen🫶🏻
love this ❤❤❤
I watched this at the perfect time! Thank you God for bringing me to this video 🙏🏿
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me✝️
hey ashley! i love your content and it is helping me grow my relationship with Jesus. could you make some more content on consistency in faith? you are such a blessing!
love this idea!
5:45 was so sweet 😭😭❤❤
LOVED THIS VIDEO! most especially your outfit to the movie premiere... God is teaching me to solely rely on him & trust his plans for my future.
thanks for being here sis 💗
Hi Ashley! I hope to see your writing process video and writing tips, big fan of honey scoop !
Ya I’m so excited for more episodes 🙌🏻
Ashley you're helping so much people God bless you stay safe and healthy lot of love !!❤❤
thank you for being here ❤❤
I loving these Holy Girl Diaries: Summer Edition. Also, I would love videos on cooking. Your food always looks so good, and my goal for this summer is to try more food. God Bless 🫶🏽
oooo this would be so fun!
@@ashleyhetherington_ Holy Girl Diaries: Our Bodies are Temples Edition
I love your holy girl videos and advice videos!!!❤❤❤
i am so glad you are here!
A really great song is 'Even If' by MercyMe which basically talks about exactly the same thing, when God doesn't show up the way we expect Him too and how even if He doesn't show up immediately or in the way we expect He's still good and faithful. I really recommend listening to it!
This video really made my faith stronger in the Lord 🙏
This is amazing! This inspires me so much to be like Jesus and follow him! Love you Ashley!! 🙏
Yes keep the Faith! Love content & advice for those that are single & living Christian life. I was single for 25 years before I met my loving husband, so worth the wait 💕 It's all in God's timing for sure but prepare yourself for marriage if that is what you desire. Read books on marriage such as "Marriage: 6 Gospel Commitments Every Couple Needs to Make" by Paul David Tripp, "The Meaning of Marriage" by Timothy Keller, "Sacred Marriage" by Gary Thomas, "Now You're Speaking my Language" by Gary Chapman, also get advice from other couples. I wish I would have done that in my season of singleness. Make a list of characteristics that you are looking for in future husband & give it to God. Prepare for your next season whether new job, ministry, joining small group, moving to another town/state, etc. Try to meet up with friends & family as much as you can, they love you so much!
I am believing God for just the freedom I'll be able to have fully trusting in Him.
Love you Ashley ❤I am growing my faith and relationship with god and also waiting on his timing
you are LOVED
Omg this is exactly what I am going through right now!! And hearing this was perfect timing, thanks for sharing ❤
Ashley thank you for each of your beautiful videos. You have such a deep love for God and for His people. You are loved friend! ❤🎉 God bless you today!
Thank you Ashley for be real with us about where your at rn🫶🫶I was feeling the same way as you recently but watching your video has given me more faith and motivation!! God bless you❤️
i am so so glad to have you here
yes. I'm struggling in my waiting season. It's so hard! You know what I don't get.. How people who don't believe in God are blessed with friends and job Opportunities.
keep going💗💗
I really want to see more videos about your day and shopping if that’s ok! I like to watch your videos, and all of them are good!
yay!! BLESSED WITH ANOTHER VIDEO FROM ASHLEY💕💕
ashley I have been meaning to get out of my comfort zone too. so I'm going to a self-defense class for the first time. can you make a video about the qualities of a good Christian friend??? I've been confused about who my true friends are, and a video on that topic would really help.
Love your videos! 😍 i recently found your channel through Instagram and am very grateful that I found your amazing content!
I was thinking about what you said about Got “testing” us and how i think that is almost too negative. I try to think of “testings” as an opportunity for us to return our love, to return our trust, to return our mind and body. He gave himself for us and those seasons give us opportunities to respond and show what we’ve learned and become practical about it. To show and acknowledge our honest need for him, and that it’s only by grace - and even if not, he is still good. Often in the hardest times we experience God the most because that’s when we truly have to rely on him and he can truly show up! In the impossible situations he can show that nothing is impossible for him and he will be glorified the most 🙌🏼 even visible to others, that saw the impossible but witnessed the unbelievable ❤
🙏🏽 In the meantime… In the Waiting season … I reminded myself, it’s not that God is not working … it’s HE is doing HIS will, I need to see in the wait I am being grown, stretched, humbled and tested ! So, when I hear myself say where is God ? I quickly say no Lita … Where is your focus and trust 🙏🏽 I too am Single and this season is Hope Filled Summer Season ! Whoop Whoop
i love this ❤❤
the point is not to look at the idea of "why does God allow bad things to happen to people" but RATHER to reflect on how struggle and pain entered the world: through our sin.
this is why we struggle this is why there is pain.
with more reason to cling to Jesus who comforts the SOUL and MIND. this worldly struggle is very short.
“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.”
(2 Corinthians 4:17)
Thanks for the content Ash!
your videos are so encouraging! 💌
i am so glad you are here!
I'm loving this series!!
i am so glad you are here ❤❤
So grateful that while you’re in a waiting season you continue to share your honest thoughts with us it’s so encouraging! Currently in my waiting season too🙃 “He’s going to be faithful or we’ll just go to heaven!”😂 love you!💖
Ashley, could you make a video about your playlist?
love this!!
Dear Ashley, coming from a non Christian family, i kinda feel lost and alone. You're helping me sooo much ! Please could you do another video about modest fashion please ? ❤
yes angel. thank you for being here.
you are NOT alone!
@@ashleyhetherington_ you're the best !!
I really stand in faith and believing God for a new job for my husband
Ashley, thank you so much for reminding me that I am not alone. You are truly a blessing 💖
I would love for you to show us how to get into a Christian community. Did you go through your church or did you search events for Christians?
i love you ashley and appreciate your hard work!
thank you for being here 💗💗
I've been going to events and things alone for awhile now I honestly like it lol!.
it’s kind of exhilarating honestly lol
The amount of excitement that I just got when I saw that you posted🩷! I love the way that you do your videos while keeping it God centered. You’re the best.
i am so glad you are here!
I would love to see some Bible study videos!! And tips on how to dig into His word!
I loveeeeee watching Bible study videos!! Like IN DEPTH ones. Or even anything that is is Bible study in real time or something ❤❤
oooo i love this ❤
Do you have recommended channels?😊
@@Esperanza.. I like how to faith a life! She’s really enthusiastic and has a really great attitude!!
Nice video. Thanks again. Where is my prayer closet? Thanks for that idea Ashley.
Those thrifted denim shorts were fab!
aren't they so cute? they are giving modest chic 💅🏻
ok so for the fits i liked the shorts she chose for you they were really different but idk about the fit you chose for her the denim on denim was an interesting choice
Regarding our waiting seasons, don't be a Sarah. Sarah was told she was going to have a baby and she laughed. But she waited. And waited. Until she took matters into her own hands, giving Hagar to her husband, thinking THAT'S the way they were to have a son. And with that one decision she changed the course of the future for mankind. Muslim (Ishmael descendents) and Christian (Isaac descendents) wars have plagued mankind since. My point: wait on the Lord. It was 13 or 14 years AFTER Ishmael before Isaac was born. God's timing is not our timing. Sarah leaned on her own understanding (or misunderstanding TBH) and she was wrong in that. So be patient. Enjoy your singleness. Your time and attention can wholeheartedly be focused on the Lord in this season. When your mate comes along, in God's timing, you will then be focused on him. Yes, you'll still be focused on God but it won't be the same as in your singleness. Enjoy this season. There are many seasons coming in your life. Walking with God is the best way to enter each of them as they come. You're doing good! Thank you for your videos of encouragement and godly guidance for others. I'm a 55 year old widow, married at 21, blessed with 4 children, and widowed at 46. I've been thru several seasons and I know I have more. But you are a blessing to listen to (my 14 yr old daughter tuned me in to your channel) and even at my age and after the seasons I've walked thru, i still glean good things from your words. ❤ Hang in there. Keep walking with Him and teaching others.
I love your Christian routines so much therw the best
aw amazing! i will create more for you
