Coming Soon...

I've been away for quite some time, and I truly have missed writing and expressing my thoughts. No worries, I am making my return very shortly and I can't wait to share my journey with you all!

Something on my mind.

"As we look not to things that are seen but to things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal."

Over the past few days I have really been diving deep into God's word,as He has been speaking to my heart. I have been reading 2nd Corinthians, and it has been blowing my mind! It talks about living for His glory, and shining for Him. We are all of God, and God is of us; we must allow His light to shine so that others may see his glory. As Christians we will go through many hard times and persecutions, but He has His hand on us, and will not allow harm to come our way. In 2nd Corinthians 5:7 it says "We walk by faith and not by sight." I often give up hope when I am struggling with something, and my faith in God slowly decreases. But His wonder and grace is not something we have to always physically touch and see. I need not store my treasures here on earth but in heaven. What lies in heaven has no comparison to what we are facing here in the world. I am so thankful for such a loving God,that wraps his arms around me each day and loves every part of me. I can't wait to see how He will work in my life.

Friends.

I got to spend time with my lovely friends Antonio and Leana at Atlantic Station. It was so much fun walking around to the different stores. We browsed in one of my favorite stores Ikea and we ate at an Asian restaurant called the Tin Drum and it was quite delicious! We also got late night coffee at a cafe called Cafe Nineteen. It's a bit expensive, but the atmosphere is very nice; including a suave bar and thick leather chairs to sit in! Overall it was a lovely night, and spending time with friends always makes me happy! Here are some pictures of our adventure.

Happiness.

I could watch this forever.


Isn't this the best?

Movie mania.

I had such a lovely evening catching up with my friend Leana yesterday. It's always nice to reunite with old friends after a long time. We met for coffee and then went for manicures. After, we sent to the movies to see Inception. I have to say all the hype for the movie was 100% correct. It was one of the best movies I have seen in quite a while. Not to mention the movie had my celebrity crush Joseph Gordon Levitt being completely rough and tough. The acting was amazing, and overall the movie was extremely convincing. Also starring in the movie is Leonardo Decaprio, Ellen Page,and the lovely Marion Coutillard. A movies about dreams vs. reality, I suggest this blockbuster to everyone.
I also spent today watching the movie called Seven Year Itch starring Marilyn Monroe. This just so happens to be my first Marilyn Monroe movie, and I have to say that she is simply enchanting! I just might have become a fan.
