"Come out of hiding your safe here with me. Theres no need to cover what I already see…" That is the opening lyrics to Steffany Gretzinger's song, Out of Hiding. 

This is absolutely adore this song. It cut into my heart and it leaves me knowing that I am not alone. That I can totally be myself when I'm with Jesus and I don't have to cover anything. I can just bring it all to Him. 

I hope you enjoy this song and it speaks to you like it has to me.

About a few of my favorite things.

1: Posies. Patches of flowers. Any type of flower really. I just love them. 

2: Coffee. Peppermint mochas are delish. 

3: Tea. This is second to coffee. Any berry cold tea I'm fond of. I also like hot peppermint tea.

4: A cozy bed and my computer. I really don't have to explain this… I'm sure you already understand.

5: ANything floral. Like I said I love flowers, so floral prints are fabulous. 

6. Wahi tape. I think I'm starting to get a little obsessed about it (ok, maybe not obsessed but you get the idea). I have several rolls and a I have wash taped nearly everything I can… even my sharpies. 

7. Writing letters and sending them. 

8. Old Farm houses (and there kitchens!).

9. Painting with watercolors.

10. The ocean. I just love who the wave can set you free.

11. Polaroid cameras. They are so vintage and cute! 

So these are a few of my favorite things. What are some of yours?

 Thanks of reading!

A Smash of Imagination

So, I found this new little hobby I love. It's called smash journaling. I'm sure you've seen or heard or them before. Maybe you even have one! It is a journal with pretty pages. You can glue little notes, pictures, letters, maps, feathers, or anything else you can think of, in them. You can write a journal entry or name your top 10 favorite things. You can even cover a whole page in washi tape. There are no rules. All you have to do is have a imagination and creativity. I love them.
I have two smash journals going right now. One is a travel journal (because I'm currently on a working vacation) and the other is just a regular journal. They are kinda like mini scrapbooks about my life. I can collect and "smash" the little things that mean so much to me all in one place so I never lose them. Since I'm on vacation, I've been caring around my Polaroid camera with me everywhere so I can get some snaps of memories I never want to forget. It is a whole lot easier to carry around a Polaroid with me than get photos developed. Plus, Polaroid photos are just so cute. That is my opinion at least. I've also been collecting maps and little things to put into my travel journal. So, one day when I look back, I can even remember those small moments.
So yes, I think I'm done ranting about my new hobby. If you really read this whole thing I thank you for sticking with me. x)
Make sure to check back soon because I just might post pictures of my smash journal and I still have a short story that will be on its way soon (it has taken me a little longer to write then I thought)!

Spring Is In The Air!

Spring is in the air! I got to open the windows in my house today for first time in forever.  It has been so cold outside this winter. It has been nice to open the windows and get some fresh air in.
They're several things I'm looking forward too this coming spring. Let me just name a few for you:

1. Riding my bike. It is so refreshing for me to take a stroll out on my bike to enjoy the fresh air and the blue sky.

2. Watching the flowers bloom. There is something amazing about watching God's creation thrive. I can't wait to see what He does this year. 

3. Wearing dresses. I don't know about you, but one of my favorite things to wear are pretty dresses. I just bought some new ones not to long ago and I can't wait to don them.

4. Easter!! I love the Easter holiday. Not only do you get to hunt for easter eggs (yes, I still hunt for easter eggs. Don't judge me ) and dye eggs, it celebrates Christ resurrection! Christ resurrection is one of the most important event events in history. I love to celebrate it. 

5. And last but not least more Blogging! I looking forward to writing more and expanding this blog. I have a lot of ideas for future posts and things I would like to try. I can't wait to share them with you! Be sure to check back ever now and then. Never know when there will be something new! 

Well, that is just a few things I'm looking forward too. What are some thing that you are excited about thing spring? :)
