watch :: august

So as I always Netflix binge, and delve into the dark world of YouTube way too often, i thought why not start a monthly 'watch' series all about what I've been watching during the month. I'm sure I'll start a 'read' and/or a 'listen' series soon enough, likely both, because I want to share more… Continue reading watch :: august

love :: trust

Better sorry than safe. How true is that? I'm really not one to play it safe, and I'm a little more than reckless from time to time. But I'm never scared, I trust in my path, in the Lord, in my future. I am anchored but free to wander. C'est ça que j'aime. Being reckless… Continue reading love :: trust

faith :: envy

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

life :: fureur de vivre

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

life :: joy in abundance

This topic has been popping up around me a lot lately so I feel pressed to address it, speak and mediate (or type, duh) on it. Our lives are abundant, yet we never quite seem to reach satisfactory satisfaction. As the Arctic Monkeys say “Satisfaction is a distant memory” (Ru Mine). It’s so distant, it… Continue reading life :: joy in abundance

design :: interior

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

faith :: anointment

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

year abroad :: toulouse

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

life :: homebird

Picture this: lying in bed at 00:42, thoughts buzzing, happiness overflowing when really, you should be sound asleep. This is how I found myself on Friday night, la dernière soirée before my departure back to my beloved French home. It's surprising the warmth and the joy I feel toward Libourne every time the dear town… Continue reading life :: homebird

year abroad :: settled

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
