Relishing in &
enjoying: the time spent in the beauty and serenity of nature with Cheryl,
le guitar. :)
venue for photos: my alma mater, UG. :)
Gushing over: my
new bible and camera I gifted myself for my birthday and the flat pumps my
sweet friend, martina gave me for the birthday (which was 25th may
:)
I love that the bible has these cute index thingys that make it easier to
find a book.
I got this cute Samsung HD camera a little before my birthday. I know,
I have to invest in a big girl nikon/canon camera sometime but for now this
should do. ;)
the cute flat pumps-thanks martina!
Loving: my new
cross earrings & my not-so TWA-{teeny weeny afro}. well I got kinky curly
twists over the weekend so it hasn’t been that long since I rocked my ‘fro so it still counts.
;)
before & after church on le birthday
Listening to:
desert soul, joy, my lighthouse, you are my vision by rend collective… sing in
the rain by moriah peters…my hope is in You by aaron shust. These have been on
repeat like crazy. Rend collective is becoming my new fav band, ya’ll!
Watching: preacher’s
kid {watched this last night actually}. This movie is really good! Watched it first
when it came out a few years back, and it doesn’t get old. Especially to any
girl out there seeking for attention from the wrong guy, the girl looking for
love in the wrong places, the girl who is willing to compromise her
values/beliefs just to please some guy who’s not worth it, the girl who thinks
she’s gone too far, messed up too much to return to the ultimate Lover of her
soul, this movie is for you. It’s got a lot to teach.
Reading: aside le
bible, a summer read titled ‘beach season’, {and blogs, one of my favs being,
the lipstick gospel}
I haven’t really done a ton of novel reading. I finished reading through proverbs during the weekend and started jeremiah. {I’d love to name one of my future sons jeremiah. such a powerful + lovely name, right?}
Thankful for:
sweet friendships, the kind where you can share your wild dreams & fears
& bare your soul. The kind where you aren’t afraid or ashamed to be
vulnerable. the kind that puts up with all your quirks. the kind that breathes
life and speaks truth into you, the kind that is real. I’m not about shallow
small talk, I’m about deep + hearty conversations.
Dreaming about:
the beautiful future and all the possibilities it holds.
Learning to: play
the guitar and to fight for my joy. The latter is a spiritual discipline which
is oh, so worth it.
Praying for:
diligence to love and serve the Lord with all my heart and soul. {but without faith it
is impossible
to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe
that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who
diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6}
what have you been up to lately? do share!

Your pictures are beautiful! I've been listening to My Lighthouse and the whole Rend Collective cd quite a bit myself ;)
ReplyDeletethank you, Katelin! their lyrics are full of truth and the music so, so goood!
Deletehey found you from a harvest of blessing link-up! love your photos - and yes, rend collective is amazing. and seriously, i don't have a "big girl camera" either - it's more about learning to use whatever you have, and using it well!
