So. I've finally made a blog!

After wanting to have a blog for a while now, I've finally made one. And I have to say...I'm pretty proud of myself. It's taken me so long for a lot reasons, which all pretty much boil down to me being a perfectionist and being extremely picky and worried about what other people will think of me. ("What if they laugh at my blog name? What if they think my profile is dumb? What if they don't like my background?") I know, it's ridiculous. After staring at the "Start Your Blog!" page for 3 days, I finally just wrote down what I wanted to write and what I wanted my focus to be. I want to love others. Not only love them, but LOVE them WELL.
So, that is my goal for this blog. I'm making a more deliberate choice to love others well. To show them that they matter. To show them they are valuable. To show them that they are worthy of being loved well.
I'll use this blog to share what I'm learning. Yes, I'll probably have some posts where I'm just writing about life, but I'll try my best to not be a whiny, self-absorbed teenager who ONLY whines about her life ;) But writing about life isn't bad. After all, isn't that what we're called to do anyway? Love through everyday life! 

Praying that He will pour His love through me,
Ashley
