A Free Gift!



Who likes free gifts? Who am I kidding, everybody likes free gifts! What if I told you that there's a FREE GIFT just for you! It has your name on it and you don't have to do a single thing but just ACCEPT the gift. Sounds pretty flippin' awesome, right? We're all born sinners and in need of a Savior. When Jesus died on the cross He PAID for our sins and made a way for us to have a relationship with Him. Christ has already completed what needed to be done in order for us to be free of our sins once and for all! He paid the price FOR us. And you know what's amazing? We don't have to do a single thing but just accept what He did for us. What He did is enough! We are so undeserving, but God is a God of LOVE and GRACE! This is where a lot of people miss it. Many try to work for their salvation, thinking that if they do enough good things then they will be saved. It's not about works, it's all about God's grace! If our salvation was based on what WE did then we'd never be saved, because we're messed up sinners. It required the blood of Jesus. Jesus is the ONLY way. In John 14:6 Jesus says," 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.' "

How much better does it sound just getting to accept something rather than having to work for it? Yes, it's that easy! The price has already been paid. Friends, don't miss out on this amazing free gift!

"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9


Check out this awesome song by Steven Curtis Chapman called "Free". It talks about the freedom we have in Christ!

  1. Ashley, love your blog! I was wondering if you could answer some questions regarding you and your husband :).

    1) On your wedding website, you said that your dad allowed Brandon to date you but under certain circumstances. Were there certain restrictions your dad put?

    2) What are your views on couples refraining from kissing until the wedding day? Did you and Brandon do that?

    3) Would you consider you and Brandon "courted" rather than "dating" before he proposed?

    You two make a cute couple and I wish you both well!
