and you know me and my love for classic rock.
but i decided to use that as the title of this post.
for it is just that.
ashley rambling on.
life as of late has been treating this girl very well.
and i attribute it all to my Heavenly Father who watches over me.
i believe and know that a supreme being is the father of my soul.
i know that i have a loving God who protects me and watches me daily.
i know that sometimes God allows me to have trials in my life so i can, hopefully, draw closer to Him.
sometimes i wonder why God is leading me down the path i am currently on.
why am i in the current situations that i am in?
why am i so blessed?
why do i have to struggle with certain things in my life?
why am i given so much?
God is good my friends.
He is wonderful.
i have been thinking a lot and reflecting on the things that have lead me up to this point in my life.
i was thinking about the past over the weekend and thinking about the "what-if's" and the "could-have-beens".
thinking about those types of things gets you nowhere my dears.
nowhere.
it's pointless and will cause feelings of irritation, frustration, and perhaps, depression.
but sometimes, i daresay, it's great to reflect on mistakes made, lessons learned, and people met to make you realize how blessed you are.
that's why i am so happy to look to the future.
there is so much opportunity awaiting this girl.
i don't know what i've done to deserve the great life i've been given, but i want you to know friends, that i am one grateful lady today.
God is good. God is love. I love my Heavenly Father.
i attribute everything i am, all that i have, and what i will be to Him and His infinite goodness.
it's Christmas time and i recognize that everyone is extremely busy with the hustle and bustle of this holiday season, but this year, Christmas has come to mean something more to me more than ever; it's not just about the gifts, the parties, the lights, the music, decor, etc.
Christmas to me this year is all about reflecting on my Savior, Jesus Christ.
the ultimate gift from my Heavenly Father to the world.

in light of the christmas season, i hope that you're happy, healthy, and doing all the things you want.
God is good my friends.
He loves you.
take time today to remember what blessings have been
given to you because of the ultimate gift - Jesus Christ.
merry christmas.
happy holidays.
all my love,
ashley
