Ainsley Barnes

Hi, thank you so much for visiting my website! My name is Ainsley-- Im a wife and momma to a baby boy and a sweet bunny. Above all that I am a follower of Jesus. I am by no means a perfect person but I know that I, along with you, am loved by a perfect God. It is that alone that keeps me going, working, and striving to be better each day.

I love writing and sharing things I’m learning it is a passion of mine. I strive to share not just my wins by my losses as well. I want to share my failings, because in a world where social media only shares the best and easiest times in life I want to share the raw hard times and teachings.

What Are We Allowing Our Comfort to Be

There are a lot of things that we go through in life, a lot of trials and tribulations that we face throughout our years on this earth. We have hard days, good days, really good days, and really hard days. But when it’s all said and done who, or what, are we allowing our comfort to be in.

Laziness

There are a lot of things I want to be in my life, things that I want to accomplish. There are also a lot of things I know I need to be in life, and sometimes what I want and need to be are in line and sometimes they aren’t.

There is something that I find very interesting and very sad about some of our generation now, and that is the fact that when some say they are christians they are only really “christians” to an extent.

Pregnancy: The Best and Hardest Experience

In a time where there are many social media influencers on the internet, pregnancy can look like a piece of cake. Or sometimes even the whole cake!

Rough Around the Edges

Growing up I was obsessed with rocks. Very obsessed. So obsessed in fact that I had many random cookie tins and small boxes filled with various rocks that I would find or buy in stores. Friends and family would even get me rocks as gifts for birthdays or surprises, and I loved it. Being in my more adult years my obsession with rocks as...
