So, I did a thing …
Hi, all! For those who don’t know me, my name is Ashley Eddleman. I’m a follower of Jesus, wife to my husband of twelve years, stay-at-home mama to two energetic little boys, writer when the Spirit moves me … ALWAYS a work in progress. And I just started a Christian blog! What?!? This all began as a humble response to …
Be Still and Know
What does it mean to “Be still, and know…”? We in the Church say it often and have it printed on t-shirts and coffee mugs or hung on our walls at home. It’s so familiar that I’ve never really stopped and considered at length what God was saying here. The greater context of Psalm 46 gives us some clues: “God …
Love Is a Choice
Nolan (3 years old) slipped and fell into the corner of a play table and bruised his ribs a little. He was fine but hadn’t had a nap, and when he gets sleepy, he also gets dramatic and emotional—don’t have a clue whom he gets that from, haha. This time, though, after I sat down in the floor and wrapped …
“Grace upon Grace” – FREE Lock Screens
I love an inspirational lock screen, especially if it’s FREE. It helps set the tone for the day and can serve as an encouraging reminder whenever you check your phone, set your alarm, send a text, etc. Putting a Bible verse on mine has helped me memorize scripture, as well. These are all sized to an iPhone XR, so feel …
Joy: Taste and See and Be
“No amount of regret changes the past. No amount of anxiety changes the future. Any amount of grateful joy changes the present.” Ann Voskamp This was such a timely reminder to practice gratitude for the small joys today and every day. Children are so good at this, at finding joy in the journey! Somehow along the way, though, we grow …
Pray about Everything
“Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.” PHILIPPIANS 4:6 (AMP) I’m the worst when it comes to letting worry creep in and continually have to remind myself to “let go and let God,” to pray about everything. …
God Our Father, Thank You for Our Blessings
Nolan and I had some time to pass before a meeting with his new teacher a few weeks ago (So excited to start preschool!), so we spent it in this stunning sanctuary. We talked about the hand-crafted stained glass windows and the story of Good News they tell. We climbed the stairs to the balcony and sat in awe of …
Class Rules for Life
A PreK teacher friend posted this in her classroom this year … I feel like these should be LIFE rules, especially after the struggle bus made a stop at our house this morning. Do you ever have mornings like that, the kind in which no one wakes up on the right side of the bed and every little thing is …
Lord, Give Me a Sign
“Give me a sign!” Do you ever feel like this? Deep down, you know what God wants you to do next, but fear or doubt creeps in and you begin to second guess everything? “If You could give me a sign, Father, then I’d know for sure and would be able to do exactly what you want me to do.” …
