musings of a twenty-something bilingual
The splendour of a King, clothed in majesty. Let all the Earth rejoice. He wraps himself in light, And darkness tries to hide, And trembles at His voice. Live to know Psalm 73 - A psalm of Asaph Part 1 1 Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. 2… Continue reading faith :: envy
I have this hope. A passion. A must for life. A lack of fear. Nothing holding me back. Love never runs out. Higher than the mountains and deeper than the blue depths of the sea. Overwhelming and satisfying my soul. Breathing in life, and breathing out joy. A harmony of peace and war. A war… Continue reading life :: fureur de vivre
If you know me, you'll know I'm a bit of an art freak. I absolutely adore solo art gallery trips, sketching in new sketchbooks (I usually buy a new one on every trip / gallery visit), and I love painting. I love art that much that French art is going to be 1/3 of my… Continue reading design :: interior
Tout feu, tout charme It's late on the first Monday night of June and I'm flicking through June/July's Parisian Vogue as I watch a Netflix drama on an American robbery case. I have not had as relaxed an evening as this in a while. I have soothed my skin with my Sonya Nourishing Serum by… Continue reading style :: questioned
The true you is rooted in the God of all creation. I have dived into plenty of devotionals lately, using several plans on the Bible app, as well as reading the Esther study on SheReadsTruth. I wouldn't say I've been searching or seeking out God, but with having not been able to go to church… Continue reading faith :: anointment
Determined to see more of France, I hastily reserved an Airbnb in one of France's major cities. For an entire week... Of all my time spent in France (literally since birth), I have visited Dordogne, Rouen, Normandy and Paris and of course, have lived in Libourne, therefore spent time in Bordeaux too. Oh, and Arcachon… Continue reading year abroad :: toulouse
Once again it's Sunday, and I find myself on a train back to Libourne. Church this afternoon/evening was charming, and it warmed my heart I be there after about 6 weeks of not being able to make the journey. With a preach on 'Faith and Freedom' with reference to Hebrews 11:23-29, tonight really struck a… Continue reading year abroad :: settled
It's 20:22 and I'm on a train home back to Libourne. After a long day shopping, I'm worn out, my feet ache and I've a rumbling stomach. But what a great week it has been. Plus, how sick is this view of Bordeaux from today - completely unedited too! That's what you get for replacing… Continue reading year abroad :: moments
So far I am easing back into life here in the South West of France. It's shocking to think I've nearly been back a whole week, and even more scary how soon the end of my 'year abroad' is approaching. But in true Anna-style, I'm delaying it until as late as possible. It's been great… Continue reading year abroad :: ease
Happy New Year to you all! I may be a few days late with that one, but as I just arrived back in France yesterday, it felt apt. It was lovely to go home for Christmas and spend time with my family and a few of my friends. I was suitably knackered so spent the… Continue reading year abroad :: bonne année
