The most important thing is that Christianity is not an aesthetic or a trend, it's a lifestyle that is often not very pretty, especially for those who haven't had the closest relationship with God recently. It's perfectly okay, and often beneficial to romanticize Christianity, it can help you to get past the inevitable struggles but to pretend that it's perfect and always glamorous is simply a lie I do really like this video and you gave lots of great advice
Yes. the Christian life often brings persecution, suffering, and battling darkness. Being Christian is not an aesthetic or even reduced to a lifestyle/routine.
I am so happy I found this video! I’m 14 years old and I recently started getting closer and buliding a relationship with God and I have never felt better. I think back to when I wasn’t a Christian and I realized how unhappy I was but now I feel so much happier. The speech about “finding yourself” I relate to so much. I tried finding myself when I wasn’t a Christian and I always found myself down and unhappy. It was now when I found out this is me! I found myself and found the person I’m supposed to be❤
@Familiar Faith yess God changes us in so many ways its honestly so amazing. I've also been a Christian since birth I just never lived for God until now and it's so amazing. God bless you❤
Hi Ashley, I'm an 11 year old Christian girl and basically I found your channel today while I was searching about Christian female modesty. And u have been such an inspiration, can u please make a video on how to be a good Christian girl in school when you are around different religions and cultures. Thank you xxx
Just remember be loving. But don’t come into agreement with lies, that’s one way to give the Devil a foothold. Look into Christian apologetics, but remember where a lot of Christian apologetics fails, is the most important part, truly help them feel loved. Try to renew the mind Daily with Scripture and Prayer on your own. Some great additional resources would be “answers in genesis“ and “Ray Comfort” and for pop-culture apologetics “off the Krib Ministries.” “bible project” is a great thing to watch before you start reading a chapter of the Bible. “Sergio and Rhoda and Israel” are a fun way to learn about history/geography from a cute couples travel blog.
With modesty follow your convictions from God, but don’t make rules around rules for other people who have not had those convictions yet, that’s what the Pharisees did to people. That’s not to say you can’t explain the benefits of modesty to another person. The only rules I would say is probably be really careful with swimsuits, shorts, and things that could show chest because of how gross some people at the beach can be as they go just to look at young girls 🤢. Personally I wear what’s called a tankini with a tankini skirt, still easy to go to the bathroom, but it doesn’t actually show your mid drift but I know lots of modest girls that feel an athletic swimsuit is a modest swimming suit and again it’s up to them and their family, but obey your parents if they’re telling you they think you should wear a T-shirt or shorts and don’t feel pressured by anyone that you have to wear a string bikini, such as if your parents are the opposite side of the spectrum and buy you one. God will never ask you to compromise. You will save so much time and money if you just buy modest to start with. Try thrifting for it and have fun!
Hi Ashley, I'm 11 years old and ever since I started watching your channel, I haven't been the same!! Sometimes it's hard to be kind always, and I haven't always been kind, but I'm trying
You deserve more likes, subs, and fans. I discovered you on Pinterest and I had no clue you had a yt channel!!!! I have trying to be “that girl” but THIS IS THE ONLY RELATABLE ONE! They all have certain expectations, but I was just trying to fit everything into the categories I DREAMED of, and literally you are everything I have looked for this past year! THANK YOU THANK YOU, you are a SIGN from God sent to me!💖💖💖💖
aww i am so glad to have you in this community! and to know that this video helped you. 🤍 there needs to be more videos on improving your life from a BIBLICAL perspective!
Congrats just remember that they'll be up and downs just remember God is there and he hasn't abandoned you. When ever you slip up just put it to go he will not turn down a broken or contrived heart.
So happy I found you and this channel. I found you through Pinterest. I used to follow a lot of non-Christian RUclipsrs and recently have been purging because I don’t feel like it’s a good influence. This is exactly what I needed. I still want to be the best version of myself, but it has to be in Christ. Please keep doing what you are doing! Im 35 and I only wish I had your faith at your age. God bless you ❤️
wow ashley i love your name and your beautiful, kind words 🤍 so so glad you found this video helpful in your journey of reaching your God-given potential!
Hey Ashley, you might not read this comment, but I would like to thank you for this video, it was a breath of fresh air. I'm an international flight attendant and I became a christian one year ago , yes God changed me completely trough his mercy and Son. However I will confess thats its been hard lately and Is till struggle a lot against sin and against memories from my past life, Its hard to understand that everything is made new in Christ. I will wake up tomorrow and restart to read my bible after ur video. God bless you, sister.
I really relate to this! I’ve only been a Christian for a few months but I’ve learned so much! I’m changing and I’m continuing to grow my confidence in God and my family knows I’ve changed and my Christian parents are proud that I’m following their advice in reading the Bible and getting healthier. I used to be very depressed, anxious and unhealthy and I would get in a lot of trouble with people, leading up to attempting a suicide. I felt it in my soul saying, “Don’t do it, something is coming.” but I ignored it and just wanted everything to end. Luckily, it didn’t work❤That is the ONLY time I was proud of failing something, now I’m extremely focused on failing the devil. I can’t give into him again and I’ll bring others with me. I can’t see my family being dragged down with him.
I am 35 and this was so encouraging for me! I’ve practiced a lot of the habits in the past but when I lose track of myself, I lose track of God. This was elegantly done and very practical to apply. Keep doing the great work ❤
I am so thankful I found your channel! Believe it or not, I am almost 65 years old and your videos are really encouraging me! God is using you in many ways for so many people (of all ages!)
I was a drug addict at 16, dealt with toms of childhood trauma and baggage I carried with me everywhere. When I found God, little by little He started breaking down barriers, tearing down walls that were guarding my heart. The Bible says to guard our heart, which we need to do!! But if you guard your heart too fiercely you can even guard it from God. That was my problem. I guarded my heart from God and I couldn’t be vulnerable with Him. God is still slowly working through me every day but I quit pills I was taking and have been sober for years! I’m now 21 and am getting my life on track still :) know that things take time. Don’t try to rush God’s purpose for you, because His timing is perfect. Sometimes we want to rush being “that” Christian girl, which I know I wanted to, but these things can take time and practice and we get better as we go! Stay determined sisters in Christ, and I promise you God leads you where you need to be. Something I say to myself is five feet ahead. Always look five feet ahead but don’t try to see ahead of it because you never know where God is taking you. As long as you look five feet ahead on the path, He will clear that path for you!! I hope this encouraged someone if they see it :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am almost 14 and I have been recently struggling with my mornings and I didn’t talk to God as much. I would just wake up and feel horrible and I didn’t know why. I would sleep for a really long time and since I’m homeschooled I would wake up really late and just finish school at like 8 pm. I was trying to find myself for a long time. My room would always be dirty and my life was just a MESS even though I am a clean freak and like everything organized. Also my dad left to Hawaii a couple months ago and I haven’t seen him for a while and I miss him A LOT!😭😭and I think that’s what also caused all of this. This video and your channel just helped me literally keep up with everything! Now I know that if you don’t start your day with talking to God and reading His Word, you will not be having a good day and you’ll feel lost. So thank you so much! I really appreciate all of your hard work!❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
aw jessica - my heart goes out to you. that must be really hard with your dad. know that you are loved by your Heavenly Father and He desires to spend time with you all day long. you are never alone 🤍
I was going through something , feeling anxious and angry but as soon as I found your videos on Facebook. Something in me shifted and now i am happy and at peace. God is good
I haven't even finished the video, and I subscribed. PLEASE keep teaching people about God. When you said, "How do you know who you are without talking to the one who created you?" And I'm mind blown because of the way I've been feeling recently. I really don't know who I am, and I came to this video to learn how to be closer with God and how to be a good Christian. I really feel like the Lord led me to this video. Thank you Ashley
I have never been so glad to be wrong!!! I was just about to post my self righteous comment about how believing in Jesus is not an aesthetic, which it’s not! But then I listened to the full video, and yes! Yes and amen to it all! Love this! 👏🏽💕
I just ran across your channel. I am 54 years old. And, you are a breath of fresh air. God bless you. It is so wonderful to see someone from our younger generation loving the Lord and living for Him. I have a a long history of anxiety and depression. But, I rededicated my life to the Lord last year and my life has changed so drastically for the best. I still have days but not like before. Thank you for your love and enthusiasm for the Lord. I will be watching your channel alot. God bless you. Keep on keepin’ on. This world needs more people standing up for the Lord like you. ❤️🙏🏻
When you started talking about being 18 and not knowing what to do, I feel like I'm in the same boat. I'm slowly trying to expand my faith. Thank you for this video!
Just found your channel after finding many videos of you on Pinterest, am extremely glad that there is an actual way of being myself pleasing my beautiful Lord and also getting the best version of myself, we Must not forget that He wants the best for us and to see us Happy!!! so what a better way than this??!! thankkss Lord Jesus for allowing me to find your channel!!! May Lord bless ya'll guys!!! AMEN
I'm 12 years old and I play a lot of golf and I'm getting more into professional golf! Jesus has helped throughout all my life but I feel like I'm just not that close this video has helped me a ton it truly did make me the best version of me!
the tip that I'm going to start and that is amazing is the gratitude journal and to nourish my body with gods food; from nature, instead of mostly eating packaged food/junk food. thank you so much for this video its wonderful and everything that I want to achieve and because of this I now have the knowledge from you and the the bible to motivate me. I love your videos so, so much and they build me up and encourage me when I'm having a rough day thank you.
I'm so happy I found this video, I'm currently almost 17 years old and trying to find myself. For the past two years I have been incredibly lost but didn't know where to start finding myself again. I knew Christianity would help me but I was scared to be judged for asking questions and who I am in general. Your video makes me feel okay to be me yet at the same time you motivate me to do what I know I can do.
Hi Ashley! I've been a Christian since birth but recently I have been thinking about God more and more and changing lifestyle choices to fit the Christian I want to be. However, for 3 months I have been SEARCHING the internet for a go to Christian youtuber that I can rely on to produce inspiring content for me... I think I found my match! I wish I saw this vid sooner but it is what it is. I instantly subscribed and I cant wait to see what other amazing videos you post.😇✝
This is the sweetest video. I love that you are sharing your faith so well to others. You are a beautiful example and one of my favorite channels and I’m older than you but you really inspire me so much to live on fire again. ❤
Thank you so much for this video! I am really trying to become the better version of me and I am starting my Christian journey and this has really inspired me to keep going. Especially with all the expectations of becoming “That Girl” is really hard because it doesn’t show the reality and the struggles it comes with but you making this video is relatable!❤️✨
This is so helpful! I’ve been finding it really hard to be motivated in the different facets of my life and every time I would watch those “that girl” morning routines I would always feel discouraged because the routines felt so overwhelming and purpose-less. This video shed so much light on the biblical why behind the what and you literally pinpointing the scriptures behind physical and spiritual disciplines was so helpful - thanks so much!
Let me just say, I want to be you when I grow up. You work out, you have an AMAZING sense of style, you are a role model for others and most importantly you are a girl after Gods own heart. You were the reason I started reading my Bible. You were the reason why I’m so close to Jesus. I still have a long way to go believe you me. But ms. Hetherington, you are a blessing. Thank you for inspiring me.
Love this . You don’t make it about physicality , but about the best version of you (spiritually, mentally and physically.) Although, I struggle with self image like most women. I also struggle with finding sisters in Christ or just gfs in general . A lot are just into partying and drinking every weekend . I feel lonely in the friendship area of my life . Not sure if anyone is struggling with the same .
so glad i found you! waking up early and spending time with God and going on pray/gratitude walks are definitely going to be my new favorite part of my day
Yesss 👏🏾 finally a video on becoming “That Girl” but biblically I think I’m definitely gonna work on my prayer and Bible reading so that I can build a better relationship with Christ thanks so much for the video 💖💖
Hi Ashley! I'm 15, trying to change my life around, get rid of my old self, and I was a bit nervous about clicking this video, cuz I've found that a lot of 'Christian Girl' videos I see online are not biblical at all. Literally 5 minutes into this vid and I've subscribed and liked, b/c what you're saying is so true! I really need to start reading the Bible more. this video is incredible, thanks girl
I really enjoyed this video especially the part when you talked about you trying to find yourself in your own way and it not working then you came to God and learned who He created you to be! I went through the same thing before i re-dedicted my life to God and decided to be fully committed to living for Him. Anyways love this video!!! God bless :)
This is probably my favorite video ever! This gave me comfort, I guess. I try to find myself and I try to incorporate God into it, but some days I can't. With my schedule being full almost every day, when I have free time I just want to get on my phone and do mindless things. I try to do things off my phone but then I figure out I can't do it anymore because I have a small attention span (because of my phone). I'm glad to say I watched this video all the way through with little distractions (checking my phone at the most 3 times). This video helped me figure out that I need to read the Bible instead of going on to my phone in the mornings. Give 10 minutes of my morning to God through prayer and just worshiping Him. I just want to thank you for this, because now, I know I don't have to be like the rest of the world. I can be what God wants me to be. I always knew that, but now I certainly *know* it.
Love to see it! Every video i watch is focused on ourselves you’re one of the very few who stresses the importance of God. God bless you for that. We need more people like you
i love you!! this is so amazing, in a world where people are so closed off to religion because it's not the stereotypical "cool girl" or "that girl" thing, i so appreciate you promoting it. i'm trying to build my relationship with God and it's influences like this that make the task that much easier by knowing i'm not alone in my faith on the internet. God is so good 💗
The tip i’m definitely i’m using is reading the bible more and making it a priority. I’m closer to God when i spend time in His word and journal where i am at spiritually and how He is moving in my life. i like the idea of gratitude walks. I have a prayer journal, where i write out what i am anxious about and lay it all at the foot of the cross and praise Him for the things He has done and i am grateful for. Basically what you do in those prayer walks, but in a journal. Again, I really hope i can encourage you in saying that God is using you for His perfect purpose and He has everything in His hands. You are in my prayers! Continue saying yes to why He has called you to do!! ❤️❤️❤️
I’m new here and I have to say I absolutely love the joyful and positive energy you bring in every single video. And what draw me towards you is how you always relate daily life back to the Bible
I really love your videos! I'm 20 years old and I've just given myself to the Lord. And it's truly not easy. I went 2 decades without thinking of God, let alone putting him first. And sometimes I forget about Him, especially if I'm struggling with something. I get sucked up in my own emotions and thoughts that I forget I'm being guided and watched over and that I'm certainly not in it alone. Your videos inspire me to really take priority over my relationship with God and even understanding myself, who I am and want to be... Thank you for spreading these messages!
Wow, me as a Muslim loved every word you said. I was also looking for a “that girl” routine but as soon as I saw this title I knew I can definitely adapt some things and make it work with my belief ♥️ because basically all religions teach the same thing, right? -> presence of one God who does answer if you just call upon him! Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts with us and for inspiring me to love god and how to find yourself through him🙏🏽♥️♥️♥️
U're right❤bt I just wanted u to know that God is more than a religion. He's a father who wants to know u personally through faith I His Son Jesus Christ. He made u, He chose u and He loves u
thank you for this, I've watched my fair share of "that girl" videos and I always wished I came across one that was for the Lord and not for our vanity as well as not having it go hand with their new age practices. it was refreshing and so encouraging to watch this and really bring Jesus into our daily routine. God bless you and thank you
Had an exact sermon this Sunday over the topic of finding yourself, being “that girl”, and planning your life without God and how it only leads to emptiness! So crazy you said the exact same thing! Side note: thank you for being you! Your videos encourage me everyday to grow my relationship with God again! ❤️
Ashley...Thanks for this. I'm a man actually, but a father to three teenage girls and I can't find good resources for tips for fathers raising godly teenagers. Can you help? There would be a lot of us listening if you did!!
To avoid really traumatizing and fucking them up , stay away from anything misogynistic. Idk how easy that’s going to be if you’re trying to be a “biblical Christian” but you’ll really save them a lifetime of therapy if you just treat them like actual humans who are equal .
This is such a inspirational video, I have been Christian my whole life and my parents are pastors and I have always wanted to be that girl, but I saw this vid and you reminded me that we don’t have to be like everyone else
I just scrolled through youtube and found this video. Thank you so much for this, for your channel and for your way to inspire us to be the best christian version of ourselves by making these kind of trending videos!! God bless you ❤
Oh my God, I found your channel today, what incredible work you do! I've already subscribed and ended up on Instagram and discovered your book. May God bless you. Thank you for talking about God in such a natural and realistic way that helps so many girls and women. You truly are an example. Congratulations, sister, may God continue to bless you and protect you from the desires of this world-our human nature
When It comes to spending time with those who can draw you closer to God. I’ve been calling that a “ social cleanse” in my daily life I work with other people who aren’t all going to believe in the same things as I do and won’t have a walk with the Lord. I go to a church young adult group every Thursday night. Helps to encourage me to keep walking with the Lord. And it’s so refreshing being able to fellowship with young people who are hungry for God and have a desire to follow Him and do what He calls us to do.
I found you on tik tok as I was scrolling and the Spirit just said stopped and watch and when I finished I followed you right away. Now on youtube I was searching for videos on how to be a elegant Christian girl and your bright smile just popped up. I was convinced then that I will be following you. You truly inspire me. Thank you❤
As a Christian teen girl I came across this channel and it has truly been a blessing. You've inspired me to grow in my relationship with God. Thank you. God Bless❤
I really like the idea of walking my dog and using that time to spend time with God. I love using it to worship him and take in the beauty of the world and my happy little dog !
I am kind of late on commenting but I came across this video and I am going to try so hard to better myself as a creation of christ.❤️ Thank you so much.
when i tell you i clicked so fast😭😭❤️ i was literally thinking about this yesterday and how i want to enjoy my Christianity more. thank you for this video🥺❤️
Thank you for this video! I love it so much it inspires me to continue bettering my life through Christ. You are such an inspiration, I don’t find much girls involving God in their leveling up process yet instead they rely on themselves. I think that the moment we realize that we aren’t strong without him is the moment we invite him into our life and the moment we start to see change and grow as individuals. ❤️
I am so blessed and happy to have found your channel! I had no idea where to begin, but I am so excited to get into a routine that is centered first upon the Lord. I just recently finished nursing school, and before I had nothing but excuses as to why I couldn't devote more time to God. But no more excuses! He should and will from here on out come first in my life and in my daily routine. Thank you for your guidance Ashley :) and I am so incredibly excited for this new journey. I cannot wait to watch my faith and my relationship with Christ grow and flourish as a Christian woman.
Honestly,I don't know how I found this video, I was just searching for a lot of stuff and I just stumbled upon your channel. And I just subscribed. You know that feeling of when you've been looking for something but you don't know what, but when you find it, you just know?! I'm 18 years old and I've been struggling with a lot of things and my faith is one of them My relationship with God is like on and off On in a few weeks off close to 8 months Depression and a lot of things, I've been struggling with I don't even know what to say but I've been watching a few videos on your channel and I just want to say Thank You!❤🤲🏾
This is such good content! I love this ❤️ So empowering, biblically grounded, positive & engaging with our generation. You rock girl! I was blessed by this ❤️
The oart I'm most excited to do is prayer walks or bible study dates because going on walks overall alone gives me time to calm myself down and have some time to think about things in a nice space, so I'm probably most excited about doing that. Also these tipes are soooo helpful so I'm definetely adding them to my new years goals!!
You hit the nail on the head..To know who I am, I need to have a closer relationship with who created me.. Being a Christian is beautiful and I pray for the wide spread of the kingdom of God
Recently I've been wanting to come closer to to God because my school is a Christian school and that is just made me want to become closer to god I wished your video and it helped me want to even more and I realised garden Jesus are amazing people and I should follow them
when you said people are "finding themselves" with quotations i laughed because a lot of people do not want to hear that part. a lot of us leave God in last place and it will show! love this entire video and you!
It’s nice to see so many older women, around my own age, commenting on this video. Sometimes it seems like all the people watching Christian RUclipsrs are teenaged girls. Which is great. But it’s nice to see people around my age on here too, giving their lives to God later on in life.
Wow, i can genuinely say this is the FIRST youtube video (that’s not a sermon from a church or worship video) i have watched that has truly had such an impact on my life. Keep doing what you are doing Ash, this is SO needed in today’s day. Don’t personally know you but love you already as a sister in Christ.
GIRL! This is exactly how I feel about health, eating, etc. I feel so alone though because theres hardly any of my friends (EVEN in the church) that eat to glorify Him. Im nearly 40 and I literally have only known one person to eat like me and hes a super BIG name Dr. and old friend. I feel so alone in this! How do you connect with people who see the same in scripture (with being up before dawn-Prov 31, eating, etc). Love this! Thanks for these videos!
Finding Godly friends is actually THE HARDEST thing you’ve mentioned to do. Finding Christian friends with similar experiences and goals is harder than it should be. I don’t know if it’s my position and where I live, or what… but I haven’t been able to find solid believers who make good friends since I was 18 😅
This is honestly beautiful! I appreciate someone glorifying God and I am so proud of you for having that calling! Also I loved your story!! Thank you ❤️❤️
girl you are amazing!!!! such a big inspiration! at the beginning of the year I decided to start a plan “ Bible for 180 days” and I can say, God moves something, absolutely.
SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE! Which tip are you going to implement this summer?! ☀️
Eating healthy and getting up early to spend time with the Lord🙏😊💕
@@pinkiepie7710 Those are some really good ideas! ❤✝️🙏

Right?? That hit me hard like literally loved hearing that. Really love that I found this channel!
it's the way I thought about this randomly this past month, in more of a "if you don't know The Creator how are you to understand what He created"
me too) I was like ... this is the truth. like someone slapped me on my face

Hi
The most important thing is that Christianity is not an aesthetic or a trend, it's a lifestyle that is often not very pretty, especially for those who haven't had the closest relationship with God recently. It's perfectly okay, and often beneficial to romanticize Christianity, it can help you to get past the inevitable struggles but to pretend that it's perfect and always glamorous is simply a lie
I do really like this video and you gave lots of great advice
Amen.
So true, the closer you get to God the more the enemy attacks you. Bc you become a real threath. Keep your eyes on the light ❤❤❤
Yes. the Christian life often brings persecution, suffering, and battling darkness. Being Christian is not an aesthetic or even reduced to a lifestyle/routine.
I’ve been trying to “find myself” BY MYSELF forever and I’m almost 30 😢
Now I’m making the switch and nurturing my relationship with Him again ❤
You go girl🤩 we're rooting for you and remember even when you fall (cause we're human) HE never lets you go
All the best with your journey ✨
We don’t “find ourselves”, we create ourselves. By the way, finding Christ and dwelling in his word is what gives us hope. 💗
I am so happy I found this video! I’m 14 years old and I recently started getting closer and buliding a relationship with God and I have never felt better. I think back to when I wasn’t a Christian and I realized how unhappy I was but now I feel so much happier. The speech about “finding yourself” I relate to so much. I tried finding myself when I wasn’t a Christian and I always found myself down and unhappy. It was now when I found out this is me! I found myself and found the person I’m supposed to be❤
cmon Lord!! i am so so glad to here this space is helping you grow closer in your relationship with Jesus. you are so very loved.
@Familiar Faith yess God changes us in so many ways its honestly so amazing. I've also been a Christian since birth I just never lived for God until now and it's so amazing. God bless you❤
This is me down to the age
@Familiar Faith I'm totally relating to you. It's the same with me.
Amen, be blessed 🙌🏽 !!
"the more you look to God, more you find yourself." I love It!💗
you are LOVED. 🤍
Which scripture is that? Bible teaches us contrary, that we must decrease, and God must increase.
@@ashleyhetherington_You too sister💗
❤❤We are created in the image of God. Amen!
I feel like the more we look to God the less we think of ourselves at all.
Hi Ashley, I'm an 11 year old Christian girl and basically I found your channel today while I was searching about Christian female modesty. And u have been such an inspiration, can u please make a video on how to be a good Christian girl in school when you are around different religions and cultures. Thank you xxx
Wow I'm so proud of you Elilta. God bless you girl, and direct your paths ❤
Just remember be loving. But don’t come into agreement with lies, that’s one way to give the Devil a foothold. Look into Christian apologetics, but remember where a lot of Christian apologetics fails, is the most important part, truly help them feel loved. Try to renew the mind Daily with Scripture and Prayer on your own. Some great additional resources would be “answers in genesis“ and “Ray Comfort” and for pop-culture apologetics “off the Krib Ministries.” “bible project” is a great thing to watch before you start reading a chapter of the Bible. “Sergio and Rhoda and Israel” are a fun way to learn about history/geography from a cute couples travel blog.

Personally I wear what’s called a tankini with a tankini skirt, still easy to go to the bathroom, but it doesn’t actually show your mid drift but I know lots of modest girls that feel an athletic swimsuit is a modest swimming suit and again it’s up to them and their family, but obey your parents if they’re telling you they think you should wear a T-shirt or shorts and don’t feel pressured by anyone that you have to wear a string bikini, such as if your parents are the opposite side of the spectrum and buy you one. God will never ask you to compromise. You will save so much time and money if you just buy modest to start with. Try thrifting for it and have fun!
Hi Ashley, I'm 11 years old and ever since I started watching your channel, I haven't been the same!! Sometimes it's hard to be kind always, and I haven't always been kind, but I'm trying
Yesss im going into highschool and this is a struggle
I’m a 15 year old girl on her journey with Jesus!! Thank you for helping me so much ❤
Meee toooo❤
HES COMING BACK YALL 💪💪❤️🔥❤️🔥
You deserve more likes, subs, and fans. I discovered you on Pinterest and I had no clue you had a yt channel!!!! I have trying to be “that girl” but THIS IS THE ONLY RELATABLE ONE! They all have certain expectations, but I was just trying to fit everything into the categories I DREAMED of, and literally you are everything I have looked for this past year! THANK YOU THANK YOU, you are a SIGN from God sent to me!💖💖💖💖
aww i am so glad to have you in this community! and to know that this video helped you. 🤍 there needs to be more videos on improving your life from a BIBLICAL perspective!
Girl, I went through the same thing.
It’s not an accident that I’m here...watching this video. God bless Ashley 💕
i am so so glad this helped
I am just starting to become a Christian and it feels so good!
You already are, hun 💗 the moment you believe in Jesus, you're accepted into God's family. You're as Christian as Christian can get
Indeed🥰😇
God bless you sister in Christ. We're Fam all around the world xx
Im also a Christian gave my life to the holy spirit backslided ✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️🔥
Congrats just remember that they'll be up and downs just remember God is there and he hasn't abandoned you. When ever you slip up just put it to go he will not turn down a broken or contrived heart.
So happy I found you and this channel. I found you through Pinterest. I used to follow a lot of non-Christian RUclipsrs and recently have been purging because I don’t feel like it’s a good influence. This is exactly what I needed. I still want to be the best version of myself, but it has to be in Christ. Please keep doing what you are doing! Im 35 and I only wish I had your faith at your age. God bless you ❤️
wow ashley i love your name and your beautiful, kind words 🤍 so so glad you found this video helpful in your journey of reaching your God-given potential!
Hey Ashley, you might not read this comment, but I would like to thank you for this video, it was a breath of fresh air. I'm an international flight attendant and I became a christian one year ago , yes God changed me completely trough his mercy and Son. However I will confess thats its been hard lately and Is till struggle a lot against sin and against memories from my past life, Its hard to understand that everything is made new in Christ. I will wake up tomorrow and restart to read my bible after ur video. God bless you, sister.
aww rebecca. i’m so glad to have you in this community and to hear you are inspired to read your Bible 🤍
I really relate to this! I’ve only been a Christian for a few months but I’ve learned so much! I’m changing and I’m continuing to grow my confidence in God and my family knows I’ve changed and my Christian parents are proud that I’m following their advice in reading the Bible and getting healthier. I used to be very depressed, anxious and unhealthy and I would get in a lot of trouble with people, leading up to attempting a suicide. I felt it in my soul saying, “Don’t do it, something is coming.” but I ignored it and just wanted everything to end. Luckily, it didn’t work❤That is the ONLY time I was proud of failing something, now I’m extremely focused on failing the devil. I can’t give into him again and I’ll bring others with me. I can’t see my family being dragged down with him.
I am 35 and this was so encouraging for me! I’ve practiced a lot of the habits in the past but when I lose track of myself, I lose track of God. This was elegantly done and very practical to apply. Keep doing the great work ❤
I am so thankful I found your channel! Believe it or not, I am almost 65 years old and your videos are really encouraging me! God is using you in many ways for so many people (of all ages!)
I was a drug addict at 16, dealt with toms of childhood trauma and baggage I carried with me everywhere. When I found God, little by little He started breaking down barriers, tearing down walls that were guarding my heart. The Bible says to guard our heart, which we need to do!! But if you guard your heart too fiercely you can even guard it from God. That was my problem. I guarded my heart from God and I couldn’t be vulnerable with Him. God is still slowly working through me every day but I quit pills I was taking and have been sober for years! I’m now 21 and am getting my life on track still :) know that things take time. Don’t try to rush God’s purpose for you, because His timing is perfect. Sometimes we want to rush being “that” Christian girl, which I know I wanted to, but these things can take time and practice and we get better as we go! Stay determined sisters in Christ, and I promise you God leads you where you need to be. Something I say to myself is five feet ahead. Always look five feet ahead but don’t try to see ahead of it because you never know where God is taking you. As long as you look five feet ahead on the path, He will clear that path for you!! I hope this encouraged someone if they see it :)
this is a TESTIMONY! Come on Jesus! Thank you God!
you are so loved!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am almost 14 and I have been recently struggling with my mornings and I didn’t talk to God as much. I would just wake up and feel horrible and I didn’t know why. I would sleep for a really long time and since I’m homeschooled I would wake up really late and just finish school at like 8 pm. I was trying to find myself for a long time. My room would always be dirty and my life was just a MESS even though I am a clean freak and like everything organized. Also my dad left to Hawaii a couple months ago and I haven’t seen him for a while and I miss him A LOT!😭😭and I think that’s what also caused all of this. This video and your channel just helped me literally keep up with everything! Now I know that if you don’t start your day with talking to God and reading His Word, you will not be having a good day and you’ll feel lost. So thank you so much! I really appreciate all of your hard work!❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
aw jessica - my heart goes out to you. that must be really hard with your dad. know that you are loved by your Heavenly Father and He desires to spend time with you all day long. you are never alone 🤍
@@ashleyhetherington_ thank you so much🙏❤️❤️❤️
I was going through something , feeling anxious and angry but as soon as I found your videos on Facebook. Something in me shifted and now i am happy and at peace. God is good
I haven't even finished the video, and I subscribed. PLEASE keep teaching people about God. When you said, "How do you know who you are without talking to the one who created you?" And I'm mind blown because of the way I've been feeling recently. I really don't know who I am, and I came to this video to learn how to be closer with God and how to be a good Christian. I really feel like the Lord led me to this video. Thank you Ashley
God bless you! I’ve been praying to help me with procrastination & struggling to get up early. The Lord has lead me to this video! Thank you lovely
I have never been so glad to be wrong!!! I was just about to post my self righteous comment about how believing in Jesus is not an aesthetic, which it’s not! But then I listened to the full video, and yes! Yes and amen to it all! Love this! 👏🏽💕
6:33 just completely changed my entire mindset towards food/eating habits. I never thought of it like this before, but you're so right!!
I just ran across your channel. I am 54 years old. And, you are a breath of fresh air. God bless you. It is so wonderful to see someone from our younger generation loving the Lord and living for Him. I have a a long history of anxiety and depression. But, I rededicated my life to the Lord last year and my life has changed so drastically for the best. I still have days but not like before. Thank you for your love and enthusiasm for the Lord. I will be watching your channel alot. God bless you. Keep on keepin’ on. This world needs more people standing up for the Lord like you. ❤️🙏🏻
i am so so glad to have you a part of this community 💖
@@ashleyhetherington_ I’m proud to be part of this community. God bless you. ❤️🙏🏻
Hi Ashley ur videos are so comforting and everytime you pop up on my fyp I learn something new everyday about the Lord.
When you started talking about being 18 and not knowing what to do, I feel like I'm in the same boat. I'm slowly trying to expand my faith. Thank you for this video!
Just found your channel after finding many videos of you on Pinterest, am extremely glad that there is an actual way of being myself pleasing my beautiful Lord and also getting the best version of myself, we Must not forget that He wants the best for us and to see us Happy!!! so what a better way than this??!! thankkss Lord Jesus for allowing me to find your channel!!! May Lord bless ya'll guys!!! AMEN
I absolutely love you turning trends into holy girl trends :) I look up to you so much!
I'm 12 years old and I play a lot of golf and I'm getting more into professional golf! Jesus has helped throughout all my life but I feel like I'm just not that close this video has helped me a ton it truly did make me the best version of me!
the tip that I'm going to start and that is amazing is the gratitude journal and to nourish my body with gods food; from nature, instead of mostly eating packaged food/junk food. thank you so much for this video its wonderful and everything that I want to achieve and because of this I now have the knowledge from you and the the bible to motivate me. I love your videos so, so much and they build me up and encourage me when I'm having a rough day thank you.
i am so so glad these videos inspire you to grow closer to the Lord 🤍 you are so loved!
I'm so happy I found this video, I'm currently almost 17 years old and trying to find myself. For the past two years I have been incredibly lost but didn't know where to start finding myself again. I knew Christianity would help me but I was scared to be judged for asking questions and who I am in general. Your video makes me feel okay to be me yet at the same time you motivate me to do what I know I can do.
Hi Ashley! I've been a Christian since birth but recently I have been thinking about God more and more and changing lifestyle choices to fit the Christian I want to be. However, for 3 months I have been SEARCHING the internet for a go to Christian youtuber that I can rely on to produce inspiring content for me... I think I found my match! I wish I saw this vid sooner but it is what it is. I instantly subscribed and I cant wait to see what other amazing videos you post.😇✝
This is the sweetest video. I love that you are sharing your faith so well to others. You are a beautiful example and one of my favorite channels and I’m older than you but you really inspire me so much to live on fire again. ❤
Thank you so much for this video! I am really trying to become the better version of me and I am starting my Christian journey and this has really inspired me to keep going. Especially with all the expectations of becoming “That Girl” is really hard because it doesn’t show the reality and the struggles it comes with but you making this video is relatable!❤️✨
i am so so glad this video helped 🤍 i believe in you!
This is so helpful! I’ve been finding it really hard to be motivated in the different facets of my life and every time I would watch those “that girl” morning routines I would always feel discouraged because the routines felt so overwhelming and purpose-less. This video shed so much light on the biblical why behind the what and you literally pinpointing the scriptures behind physical and spiritual disciplines was so helpful - thanks so much!
Let me just say, I want to be you when I grow up. You work out, you have an AMAZING sense of style, you are a role model for others and most importantly you are a girl after Gods own heart. You were the reason I started reading my Bible. You were the reason why I’m so close to Jesus. I still have a long way to go believe you me. But ms. Hetherington, you are a blessing. Thank you for inspiring me.
Love this . You don’t make it about physicality , but about the best version of you (spiritually, mentally and physically.) Although, I struggle with self image like most women. I also struggle with finding sisters in Christ or just gfs in general . A lot are just into partying and drinking every weekend . I feel lonely in the friendship area of my life . Not sure if anyone is struggling with the same .
Hey Cristina! How are you doing now?
so glad i found you! waking up early and spending time with God and going on pray/gratitude walks are definitely going to be my new favorite part of my day
Yesss 👏🏾 finally a video on becoming “That Girl” but biblically I think I’m definitely gonna work on my prayer and Bible reading so that I can build a better relationship with Christ thanks so much for the video 💖💖
LOOVE this, I have been having all the same thoughts recently. All through the power of the holy spirit!!
so so glad you found this video helpful 🤍
I love how real you keep it! Youre the friend who gives the hard but loving, truth! So happy God led to your account
Hi Ashley! I'm 15, trying to change my life around, get rid of my old self, and I was a bit nervous about clicking this video, cuz I've found that a lot of 'Christian Girl' videos I see online are not biblical at all. Literally 5 minutes into this vid and I've subscribed and liked, b/c what you're saying is so true! I really need to start reading the Bible more. this video is incredible, thanks girl
sis i am so glad you are here 🤍 you are SO loved by the Lord!
I'm using all of it!!! Thank you Ashley for your videos, it helps so many people to know that a happy, healthy lifestyle is really possible!
I really enjoyed this video especially the part when you talked about you trying to find yourself in your own way and it not working then you came to God and learned who He created you to be! I went through the same thing before i re-dedicted my life to God and decided to be fully committed to living for Him. Anyways love this video!!! God bless :)
i am so so glad this video inspired you. you are so loved and valued here!
This is probably my favorite video ever! This gave me comfort, I guess. I try to find myself and I try to incorporate God into it, but some days I can't. With my schedule being full almost every day, when I have free time I just want to get on my phone and do mindless things. I try to do things off my phone but then I figure out I can't do it anymore because I have a small attention span (because of my phone). I'm glad to say I watched this video all the way through with little distractions (checking my phone at the most 3 times). This video helped me figure out that I need to read the Bible instead of going on to my phone in the mornings. Give 10 minutes of my morning to God through prayer and just worshiping Him. I just want to thank you for this, because now, I know I don't have to be like the rest of the world. I can be what God wants me to be. I always knew that, but now I certainly *know* it.
Love to see it! Every video i watch is focused on ourselves you’re one of the very few who stresses the importance of God. God bless you for that. We need more people like you
i am so glad you are here anna! i felt the very same way about those videos not bringing peace.
i love you!! this is so amazing, in a world where people are so closed off to religion because it's not the stereotypical "cool girl" or "that girl" thing, i so appreciate you promoting it. i'm trying to build my relationship with God and it's influences like this that make the task that much easier by knowing i'm not alone in my faith on the internet. God is so good 💗
The tip i’m definitely i’m using is reading the bible more and making it a priority. I’m closer to God when i spend time in His word and journal where i am at spiritually and how He is moving in my life.
i like the idea of gratitude walks. I have a prayer journal, where i write out what i am anxious about and lay it all at the foot of the cross and praise Him for the things He has done and i am grateful for. Basically what you do in those prayer walks, but in a journal.
Again, I really hope i can encourage you in saying that God is using you for His perfect purpose and He has everything in His hands. You are in my prayers! Continue saying yes to why He has called you to do!! ❤️❤️❤️
i love this so much 🤍 the prayer walks will change the game for you. literally LIFE CHANGING.
Thanks for being here sis!
I’m new here and I have to say I absolutely love the joyful and positive energy you bring in every single video. And what draw me towards you is how you always relate daily life back to the Bible
Miss you on Tiktok but I’m loving the longer content! Love that you do everything for His glory. Definitely one of my goals!
i am so glad you are in this community 🤍
@@ashleyhetherington_ Thanks sis🤍
I really love your videos! I'm 20 years old and I've just given myself to the Lord. And it's truly not easy. I went 2 decades without thinking of God, let alone putting him first. And sometimes I forget about Him, especially if I'm struggling with something. I get sucked up in my own emotions and thoughts that I forget I'm being guided and watched over and that I'm certainly not in it alone. Your videos inspire me to really take priority over my relationship with God and even understanding myself, who I am and want to be... Thank you for spreading these messages!
Wow, me as a Muslim loved every word you said. I was also looking for a “that girl” routine but as soon as I saw this title I knew I can definitely adapt some things and make it work with my belief ♥️ because basically all religions teach the same thing, right? -> presence of one God who does answer if you just call upon him!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts with us and for inspiring me to love god and how to find yourself through him🙏🏽♥️♥️♥️
U're right❤bt I just wanted u to know that God is more than a religion. He's a father who wants to know u personally through faith I His Son Jesus Christ. He made u, He chose u and He loves u
thank you for this, I've watched my fair share of "that girl" videos and I always wished I came across one that was for the Lord and not for our vanity as well as not having it go hand with their new age practices. it was refreshing and so encouraging to watch this and really bring Jesus into our daily routine. God bless you and thank you
Had an exact sermon this Sunday over the topic of finding yourself, being “that girl”, and planning your life without God and how it only leads to emptiness! So crazy you said the exact same thing!
Side note: thank you for being you! Your videos encourage me everyday to grow my relationship with God again! ❤️
Ashley...Thanks for this. I'm a man actually, but a father to three teenage girls and I can't find good resources for tips for fathers raising godly teenagers. Can you help? There would be a lot of us listening if you did!!
I would recommend
Superbook
The Bible Project
maybe you know them..but as a girl these helped me a lot.
To avoid really traumatizing and fucking them up , stay away from anything misogynistic. Idk how easy that’s going to be if you’re trying to be a “biblical Christian” but you’ll really save them a lifetime of therapy if you just treat them like actual humans who are equal .
This is such a inspirational video, I have been Christian my whole life and my parents are pastors and I have always wanted to be that girl, but I saw this vid and you reminded me that we don’t have to be like everyone else
I just scrolled through youtube and found this video. Thank you so much for this, for your channel and for your way to inspire us to be the best christian version of ourselves by making these kind of trending videos!! God bless you ❤
Oh my God, I found your channel today, what incredible work you do! I've already subscribed and ended up on Instagram and discovered your book. May God bless you. Thank you for talking about God in such a natural and realistic way that helps so many girls and women. You truly are an example. Congratulations, sister, may God continue to bless you and protect you from the desires of this world-our human nature
I was wondering what should u wear as a christian like how God wants you to present yourself with clothes?
When It comes to spending time with those who can draw you closer to God. I’ve been calling that a “ social cleanse” in my daily life I work with other people who aren’t all going to believe in the same things as I do and won’t have a walk with the Lord. I go to a church young adult group every Thursday night. Helps to encourage me to keep walking with the Lord. And it’s so refreshing being able to fellowship with young people who are hungry for God and have a desire to follow Him and do what He calls us to do.
I'm 14 and i'm glad i found this.
I found you on tik tok as I was scrolling and the Spirit just said stopped and watch and when I finished I followed you right away. Now on youtube I was searching for videos on how to be a elegant Christian girl and your bright smile just popped up. I was convinced then that I will be following you. You truly inspire me. Thank you❤
Amen! "Find yourself" through God! That's the only way to do it
AMEN
As a Christian teen girl I came across this channel and it has truly been a blessing. You've inspired me to grow in my relationship with God. Thank you. God Bless❤
I really like the idea of walking my dog and using that time to spend time with God. I love using it to worship him and take in the beauty of the world and my happy little dog !
i love this girl 🤍 such peaceful time with the Father
The tip I'm excited to implement is prayer walks because I feel like they could help with any worries that I have and also help with my anxiety
I am kind of late on commenting but I came across this video and I am going to try so hard to better myself as a creation of christ.❤️ Thank you so much.
This is the first video I've seen of your content and I immediately subscribed
when i tell you i clicked so fast😭😭❤️ i was literally thinking about this yesterday and how i want to enjoy my Christianity more. thank you for this video🥺❤️
i am so so glad you found this video helpful! 🤍
You are a gifted young lady. I am 65 years old and enjoyed your video so much you give people peace and hope and bring back what we forget.
thank you Jesus. i am so glad you are here 🤍🤍
Thank you for this video! I love it so much it inspires me to continue bettering my life through Christ. You are such an inspiration, I don’t find much girls involving God in their leveling up process yet instead they rely on themselves. I think that the moment we realize that we aren’t strong without him is the moment we invite him into our life and the moment we start to see change and grow as individuals. ❤️
i am so so glad you are here! He WILL always be strong for us.
I am so blessed and happy to have found your channel! I had no idea where to begin, but I am so excited to get into a routine that is centered first upon the Lord. I just recently finished nursing school, and before I had nothing but excuses as to why I couldn't devote more time to God. But no more excuses! He should and will from here on out come first in my life and in my daily routine. Thank you for your guidance Ashley :) and I am so incredibly excited for this new journey. I cannot wait to watch my faith and my relationship with Christ grow and flourish as a Christian woman.
Girl you are such an inspiration!!!!
i am so glad to have you in this community!
Honestly,I don't know how I found this video, I was just searching for a lot of stuff and I just stumbled upon your channel.
And I just subscribed.
You know that feeling of when you've been looking for something but you don't know what, but when you find it, you just know?!
I'm 18 years old and I've been struggling with a lot of things and my faith is one of them
My relationship with God is like on and off
On in a few weeks off close to 8 months
Depression and a lot of things, I've been struggling with
I don't even know what to say but I've been watching a few videos on your channel and I just want to say Thank You!❤🤲🏾
aww WOW. thank you God. i am so glad you are here in this community and growing closer to Jesus.
This is such good content! I love this ❤️ So empowering, biblically grounded, positive & engaging with our generation. You rock girl! I was blessed by this ❤️
i am so so glad to have you here.
The oart I'm most excited to do is prayer walks or bible study dates because going on walks overall alone gives me time to calm myself down and have some time to think about things in a nice space, so I'm probably most excited about doing that. Also these tipes are soooo helpful so I'm definetely adding them to my new years goals!!
Reading the Bible and learning about God changed you soo much ❤️😭
AMEN
I can't wait to start lunch walk's w/ prayer that sound's amazing!!!
Ashley I love this! You are in every way woken. Thank you for sharing such life and truth 💯❤️
so so glad to have you in this community!
You hit the nail on the head..To know who I am, I need to have a closer relationship with who created me.. Being a Christian is beautiful and I pray for the wide spread of the kingdom of God
These are great tips!! Thank you for another amazing video, Ashley!💕
So so glad you found this video helpful!
"it's a book that reads you"
that was strong, congratulations sister, I salute you with the holy peace of God from here in Brazil, great video
this is sooooo amazing!!!! 🥺💗 definitely needed to see this!!!!
so glad you found this video helpful Ashlynn 🤍
Recently I've been wanting to come closer to to God because my school is a Christian school and that is just made me want to become closer to god I wished your video and it helped me want to even more and I realised garden Jesus are amazing people and I should follow them
when you said people are "finding themselves" with quotations i laughed because a lot of people do not want to hear that part. a lot of us leave God in last place and it will show! love this entire video and you!
amen amen. im so glad you are here!
It’s nice to see so many older women, around my own age, commenting on this video. Sometimes it seems like all the people watching Christian RUclipsrs are teenaged girls. Which is great. But it’s nice to see people around my age on here too, giving their lives to God later on in life.
I just love the way you explained all of this ^^
so so glad you enjoyed the video 🤍
So glad I found ur channel put u on and start cleaning and getting everything done that I need to. Trying to be the woman that God wants me to be.
I'm Catholic and this video is so inspiring ❤ thanks
me too)
so thankful to have you here.
Wow, i can genuinely say this is the FIRST youtube video (that’s not a sermon from a church or worship video) i have watched that has truly had such an impact on my life. Keep doing what you are doing Ash, this is SO needed in today’s day. Don’t personally know you but love you already as a sister in Christ.
Conheci o seu conteúdo hoje no Instagram e estou amando! Que Deus continue te abençoando! Love from Brazil! 💓
i love that you made this video! not many people talk about this and how important this is. this is the true that girl. GIRL OF THE LORD!!
cmon sis 🤍🤍🤍
@@ashleyhetherington_ 🥰
I've really enjoyed this! Your videos on pinterest always uplift me and I am extremely grateful for the example you set. God bless you
i am so so glad to have you here sis 🤍
GIRL! This is exactly how I feel about health, eating, etc. I feel so alone though because theres hardly any of my friends (EVEN in the church) that eat to glorify Him. Im nearly 40 and I literally have only known one person to eat like me and hes a super BIG name Dr. and old friend. I feel so alone in this! How do you connect with people who see the same in scripture (with being up before dawn-Prov 31, eating, etc). Love this! Thanks for these videos!
Finding Godly friends is actually THE HARDEST thing you’ve mentioned to do. Finding Christian friends with similar experiences and goals is harder than it should be. I don’t know if it’s my position and where I live, or what… but I haven’t been able to find solid believers who make good friends since I was 18 😅
This is honestly beautiful! I appreciate someone glorifying God and I am so proud of you for having that calling! Also I loved your story!! Thank you ❤️❤️
Lovely thanks for sharing a biblical view about being your best self
girl you are amazing!!!! such a big inspiration! at the beginning of the year I decided to start a plan “ Bible for 180 days” and I can say, God moves something, absolutely.
SO BLESSED BY THIS ! thanks be to God for your firm stance sister !!! ❤️❤️❤️
so glad this spoke to you 🤍🤍
