About Me

my name is ashley renee johnston.
established in 1986
it's not about the money we make, it's about the passions that we ache for
through the years, i have acquired several nicknames such as...[aj,ace, ash, ashley.face,stan, sis, trashley, and fancy.byrd] please don't call me ashtray! [it used to make me cry, when i was a little girl]
most importantly.... i'm in an amazing [untouchable] relationship with Jesus Christ.
He is my everything.
His law is love and His Gospel is peace.
i have a dad, a mom, and a brother
my parents are still in love.
my family is very close and i am very thankful i have wonderful relationships with both of my parents.
my brother is the funniest and most talented person i know
i was born with a passion for music. however, i never had “rock star” dreams. my brother has the talent, but i have the passion for the industry. i am currently learning more and more about the music business. some good and some bad, but the passion still remains. during the past few years, i have planned, booked, and promoted several successful local shows in central illinois. currently i am studying media promotions at greenville college. i hope and pray that God uses me in a positive way, and maybe someday i can say that i somehow changed the industry for the better. through God, i have been able to experience the industry and meet some amazing people.
i let others dictate the way i used to be...but now i'm me.[and i'm happy] i lived in the country growing up and i am so thankful for that. i am content with my small group of close friends. however, i lovelovelove meeting new people. i am really focused and motivated when it comes to my future. i hope someday i get to marry the love of my life. [who will love Jesus more than he loves me] i hope someday i get to be a mother. my bff and i are youtube celebrities, which is a step below reality tv celebrities but a step up from infomercial celebrities. i love to dance, however, i am horrible. i have been told i'm an extrovert, but i also like my privacy. i drive a cadillac. [people often confuse it with a mercury sable. :)] i was voted "most unique" by my senior class. [i now take it as a compliment] i was voted "best personality" by my 8th grade class. when i was younger, everyone said i looked like bernice from hope floats. now that i'm older, a lot of people say i look a lot like maggie gyllenhaal. [however, my brother doesn't look like jake...he does look like shia labeouf] i am the most patient person i know. my guilty pleasure is pop punk boy bands [like mcfly, the click five, busted]. lovelovelove them! i’m totally ridiculous. i don’t believe in taking everything so seriously, but there are times to act like a “grown up”. i often create awkward moments with strangers. i'm very silly.
to sum it all up, i try to be a genuine girl with good intentions and to have an open mind to anyone, whom i might cross paths with.
i believe nada surf said it right when they told us to..."always love"
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28

I'm not a big fan of people that settle. I believe it's much more rewarding when you wait and get blown away by what God gives you. I hope this is the story of my life. I'm just silly enough to belie...
