confession

I've had some time over the last couple of weekends. Time to reconnect and reaffirm myself in what I'm living for and who I'm living for. I think with a schedule that has me working up to 60 hours each week…..and thats only the paid stuff……sometimes I forget exactly what my purpose is.

Everyday I strive to bring the kingdom here. But it's so easy to let it become part of a routine. And yes I could still be doing the same things as I normally would….but it's going to be of no good if my purpose and my intent isn't Jesus. A routine smile is so much less than a Jesus smile!!!

"greater is he in me, than the powers of this world"

I adore this lyric. It holds such power. This daily affirmation has given me so much strength….and it's literally only been a few days in. What am I to fear in this world if I am knowing that he is greater than all of it? Nothing! 

I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me.

Phillipians 3:12 NLT

He has begun this good work in me, so I should have no doubt that He will finish it. 

I will press on and strive for his Kingdom. I don't strive for perfection in myself, but for perfection in who I am called to be and in whose I am. 

my day this last sunday.

i walked in the sunshine, filled my hat with bright petals. i took in the sky from lying flat on the grass, and i marvelled at His creation in my own peace. it was pretty darn lovely. 

my sweet, my constant. love of my life.

amy osaba.

as per usual i apologise for my absence.

i have started the year in a crazy state of absolutely loving everything im doing, and throwing myself into anything and everything that i can. but at the same time the biggest dreams ive had yet are slowly forming themselves in my head!

cafe/art-design house/florist. shouldn't be too hard right?

oh dear. what have i done to myself.

but if you enjoy these amazing pictures you should check out the amazing amy osaba. her creations have made my day. so beautiful and loving and bright. 

meet my precious little luca.

Sunny pictures to distract me from the gloom outside.

although i do love the gloomy skies!

I'm out this afternoon with a friend. I can't wait!

coffee, chats, markets and love!

RIP Iris

my iris' died. but i kept them in their sad state because i thought they still looked super pretty.

Don't they just? They're crackly and old but still vibrant in parts.

Anway they're gone now.

RIP Iris'

this week shall be a busy one. theres easter, two jobs and im heading to a youth camp on thursday night which im sooooooooo excited about! I can't wait to spend time with loved ones, with hearts that are the same as mine. so excited. and yeh :)

St Patricks day at our house! Sorry about the poor effort in photos. 

But it was a fun night! 

I have so much to do today! I feel like i've been totally MIA from here, which I have. My life feels like it has more structure than last year, but still I find I have no time to sit and just do what I want/need.

I really need to start sorting stuff out! Like really really! This morning I don't have anything on, so I'm just going to write another to do list, make another coffee, start ploughing through all my tasks, and catch up on blog reading and pinterest pinning. You know those days when all you want to do is read through blogs and look at pretty things and to feel inspired again......thats what I want now! 

sparklers.

I love my friends
