Anthro, I Love You.

So, over the past two weeks I've been home, I've had a little Anthropologie shopping spree. I've purchased some really cute & unique gifts for myself. Next time I'm in there (which will be VERY soon before I leave back for the semi-final round of University) I'm going to try and get a few things for my mum & girlfriends. Here's some of the things I got:

Anthropologie 'Tome Stack Candle'

I adore the uniqueness of this candle, I've never seen anything like it, something to add to my collection.

Anthropologie 'Taste-Test Recipe Book'

I've already started adding recipes of my mum's cooking in here, simply because she's an amazing cook. My cousins & I want to do frequent cooking sessions so this will come in handy!

Friday's Wisdom | Fearless

"If you dreams don't scare you, they're probably not big enough."

NEVER doubt a woman's strength.

Today I finished my placement in the Maternity Unit at St. Thomas' Hospital. I saw miracles happen through the birth of a baby and the strength of a woman; the strength of a woman is undoubtedly beyond anything I could imagine. It seemed unreal, indescribable; but it is real. Though I was there to learn (and I did), I began to wonder if I myself could go through that but you've got to have faith that you can and your strength will come from that, you've got to be fearless.

All the other women I saw in labour and even during and after the birth have been so inspiring, it really and truly moved me, I wish them nothing but the best in this journey they've began. I pray to God he gives me that same strength when the time comes (NO I'm not pregnant) and I know he will.

Friday's Wisdom | Rhythm

At youth group, this video was played. I thought it was pretty breathtaking:

"When I think of God, I hear a song. Its a song that moves me. It has a groove; a certain rhythm. People have heard this song for thousands and thousands of years. People have heard the song and they've found it captivating. The song is playing all around us all the time... everywhere. It is written on our hearts and everybody is playing the song. See, the question isn't whether or not you are playing a song, the question is:

Are you in tune?"

My Week Back Home

So, I took a very much needed break back home (& not just because Hanson were playing on the 29th!). When I'm home, I feel I can take the time to re-fuel my tank & bring myself back to basics; remind myself of where I'm coming from & where I'm going. When things get hectic in life, you can sometimes lose yourself. Home (wherever my heart is) is the compass that points me north.

My Favourite Christmas Sweater ♥

Hanson & the fans; the passion shared is beyond measure! Experiences like this are rare & don't come freely. Blessings.

Even when times are at its hardest.
God is preparing to bless you in a way that only He can.
