The presence of the Living God
satisfies the depths of my heart.
And all of me, I changed when you came.
And I'm led free by Your glory and grace.

I am overwhelmed by what Jesus did for me. 
Let me be this aware and this overwhelmed 
everyday.

For He is all that is good in me. 



my dad sent me this cute picture of my mom 
grilling out in our backyard back in norman. 
it has been in the 90s there recently...
i rather skip spring and jump to summer than have 
continual snow... just sayin'. 
(isn't she the cutest?)


Yesterday Maria, Brittany and I went on an adventure 
around Edmonton. 

First, we went to Cora's and had brunch... complete with Spanish lessons
from Maria's father. Then off to Whyte Ave to enjoy the beautiful weather.
(not even a coat for me!)

We walked around in the sun and went into the funky little shops. 
Coffee at Block 1912 was quite entertaining
due to the amounts of caffeine and sugar consumed.

What a great day with great friends. 


I have two sections left of my giant 
hang-over-your-head-for-months research paper
for psychology,
so I decided why not just waste time writing some little letters?
I miss writing little letters and I decided that I need to reinstate said practice
along with something I like to call "happy lists". 

(instax from my time in ontario this summer)

dear running shoes, 
i love that you are brightly colored and motivate me 
to actually do physical activity. 

dear oreos and gummies, 
goodbye.

dear summer, 
when are you getting here? 
i am patiently (or not so patiently)
waiting for you. 

dear skirts, 
how i long to wear you with no tights underneath.

dear instax, 
when summer comes you and i shall be 
inseparable. 

dear sushi, 
lets go on a date... soon?

dear blanket, 
i cannot wait to sprawl you out on the grass and lie
on you in the sunshine. 

dear pinkberry,
you and me kid, the second i get to 
new orleans. 

FACT: I could really use a midnight breakfast right now...
one thing I miss about Sarah Lawrence. 


About a year ago I had a family member email me about katie.
My cousin said that I reminded her of she.
Ironically enough I stumbled across her blog a year later.

I find inspiration here.
A refreshing point of view from a girl who is living
out my very dreams even at such a young age. 

Go have a read.
Gain some perspective. 
And be inspired by the words of this young woman 
who is so like Christ. 


"I can pour out because I know you fill up. I drink from a well that never runs dry. You are abundantly available to me, ever drawing me closer. You call me into communion with you and I am filled with your life over flowing even in the driest, hardest of seasons. You exchange my lack for your abundance, Christ in me the only hope of glory. Christ in me is enough. Christ with me is enough. Christ on that cross and risen for me is enough. You are enough, Jesus."


The snow is melting (yet again),
the sun is out... and my nails happen to be a 
bright orange (...thought it was salmon) color. 

Just reminiscing about what I was doing this time last year.
1. a beach feast in southern thailand 2. roti and curry every morning in thailand
3. the harbor in bai hai, china. 4. making pancakes with my hands in fu cheng, china
5. strawberry picking with my billets in bai hai 6. guilin tourism in china 7. boats in guilin 
8. chris and i bought shirts with our faces on them in guilin china... the likeness is uncanny.
