Okay, So I've been reading this seriously amazing book by Christine Caine called "Can I have and do it all please?"....which for some you will say "Ashley's reading a book...lol" I never read but totally recomend you getting the book and reading it for yourself...SO good! There is a section of the book that really stands out and I thought I'd share this fun challenge with you all...Try it out!
It talks about who we are in Christ. She encourages us to write out these Bible verses on Post-it notes and stick them around your home, office, car etc. to remind yourself of who you really are, you're true identity in Christ. How good is that!
Here are the Bible verses: (write them on Post-its, have some fun with it!...I have my cute pink Post-it notes ready to be written on) :)

I am saved by grace.
