Never lose your wonder.

 No matter where life leads you I hope you are never so consumed by the enormity of it all that you overlook the small wonders presented to you daily.

A few weekends back my family and a few friends took a drive few hours south to visit the small town of Kiama. Although Australia has many other cities worth exploring, we decided to take a day trip and stay a little local. So without further adieu, here are a few photos from that glorious Saturday.

Kiama, you are as gorgeous and breath-taking as ever. Your small town charm reminds me to be grateful for everything I have the chance to see.  I could not have put these words from Bethel Music any better myself when they said:

"May we never lose our wonder. May we never lose our wonder. Wide-eyed and mystafied, may we be just like child staring at the wonder of our king."

My City Saturday pt. 1

Here is to the trip that almost didn’t happen because I was so focused on work. Psalm 23:2 says, “He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul." Sometimes instead of planning and planning and planning just stop. Breath. Take a break and enjoy your surroundings. It’s all too easy to give the excuse and say we are working for a better life when we don’t realize that that better is here around us already.

Thank you to my cousin, Ang who helped me to realize that weekend, breaks are okay.

Brunch on a whim.

Even though we see each other every Sunday we don’t get to hang out that much outside of church. Making no excuses this time, we all found our earliest common free hour and decided to do brunch. Danisha (bottom left) suggested we try Kiss the Barista and that was that. Funny enough, I have passed by this place multiple times because it’s only a ten minute walk from my house but I have never tried it out myself.

While we were there we ran into Nate (top left), who also goes to our church and lives down the street from me and Angelique (top right). I’m glad that we all found time to pencil each other in. I love being around these girlies. They are so kind, funny, and warm be near. And that does include Jessica (middle left) and Mai (bottom right) even though they were not mentioned earlier.

So, if you’re ever in the Sans Souci area go check out Kiss the Barista. Great service, great food, and the view is just amaze - it’s right on the beach.

Stick around for more pictures of our girl’s afternoon out.

Paddington, NSW.

Just yesterday I posted a few pictures of the neighborhood that surrounds my campus. However, today, I have just a few more. I’m not sure whether it is the people that have over time affected the architechture of this city or maybe it’s vise versa. Nonetheless, this place has such gorgeous aesthetics. The colors, the shapes, foliage, carvings, all of it. I’m well aware that these pictures do not do Paddington justice but by all means, come and see this place for yourself!
