live the light

I woke up to down pour this morning..... and I loved it! As much as I despise rain during the summer month, I have seriously been missing it lately.  Every winter I want to move to sunny California but on days like today I know I'm a true NW lady. There is nothing like a good book, some Michael Buble and hearing the rain against the window pain. I am also pretty excited for fall! I cannot wait for the everything to start back up again! Football is coming, the leaves will be gorgeous and I get to wear scarfs again! I may or may not be obsessed with them, after all they are my favorite accessory! Speaking of scarfs I thought I would show you a sneak peak of what I have been up to this summer:) These lovely scarfs will be available for purchase this fall woohoo! I can't wait to see you beautiful lovelies wearing them! I will be posting them on my new shop,  right here on my blog! I hope you love them and I would love to take requests of colors if you have any:) An...

Good Morning friends:) I'm terribly sorry for the lack of blogging lately to the lack of internet. Actually I might not be that sorry, I thorougly enjoyed being unplugged and laying on Cannon Beach last week:)  It is always good to be home in my own bed but getting up back to reality is always something that could be postponned.  I, however, feel fully rested and ready to go. I enjoyed playing games with my fam, boogie boarding with my sis, reading the word and and having my nose in a book constitently.  But back to work I go, work I thorougly enjoy though so that makes it all the better:) Have a happy Monday and remember that his face shine upon you!                        

The word. I take it for granted to often but this summer I have been craving to be in it everyday. I forget just how powerful God's words, his promises and encouragements always align with my soul and awake me to God's love.  I am so thankful to have such instant access to hear from our mighty God, that I can chat with him anytime just as I am. We are so blessed to have this amazing and active communication with our Father.  He is so good. So great! 

Today I am thankful for this gorgeous weather we have been having, thanks Jesus! I am so grateful for an amazing summer so far. It is incredible to have a break but at the same time I serioulsy do not know what to do when I have free time. Free time as a student was rare and precious and now I am overwhelmed with it but I am so not complaining:)  I am just thankful for summer days, loved ones and enjoying well being joyful and free! 

Good Morning & Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a delightful holiday weekend. I had a much needed and restful weekend spending time with my family and my Lord and I am ready to kick off the week! The skies are grey this summer, just like they have been every morning in the great nw, but I am in high hopes that it will break off later in the day. Lately, I have been basking in this same hope of Christ. Trust is always something I am working on when it comes to God's provision and trusting his plans. I tend to feel like all I can see are grey skies but God continually surprises and allows me to see his sunshine, his glory. It is so good to wait upon the Lord, even when it seems like a while, because my God is good and magnificent and he will provide. I have been fundraising for my new ministry position and God is blowing my mind with the way he has expanded my network and with how much he is provided for me!!  God is good yesterday, today and every day the same and I will be in ...

Happy 4th of July!  Enjoy your barbecues, festivites and fireworks! I know I will:)  

           Well it's the week for celebrating our nations, our independence, our freedom and our identities. I have been thinking about the fourth of July this week and how yes, I am proud to be an American, but that is not all I am. I am also so thankful for my childhood years in Canada. The first of July is Canada Day and I have such fond memories of my family celebrating on that day and the fourth of July growing up. I know that legally I am not Canadian but I spent almost half of my life there and I miss it! I had always struggled being identified in Canada as an American and vice versa here in the states. But ya know what? I am so proud to cherish both countries! My family has moved quite a bit but I am so thankful that I have had different experiences, many friendships, different cultures and growing periods as we have moved from place to place. I may not have a home town but I have home wherever I am with my family and wherever...
