Summer rainbows in July

Had a quiet day at home. Mostly spent the time working on my knitting. Had to pop the knitting down to capture this though!

There are so perks to a day of mostly torrential rain.

Some Sunday Surprises

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here.

So this Sunday I had a lot of fun visiting my first telephone box library in Bergen on my way to church. It was such a lovely thing to find.

There are only a 100 boxes left since the advances in technology and I love that some are being given new lives as little libraries.

Shelves full of stories

I really enjoyed browsing the shelves and found a copy of Victoria Hislop’s book Øya (the island) which I’ve read a few times and thought it would be useful to read to practice my Norwegian.

Anyway that’s all for now.

Beginnings in February

I’m not one for doing New Years resolutions but this year I have decided to set myself a few goals.

Chiefly to finish my poetry book and get it published is top of the list.

Also to devote more time to reading, learning and all things crafty.

The other day I signed up for a freelance photography diploma which is super exciting. As it’s something I thought about doing in my teens but never did. But I’m so glad I can do it now!

Its okay to chase your dreams one small step at a time.

Signing off for now.

Early mornings and branches

Early mornings and branches.

Breathing in ordinary moments.

Crisp air fills my lungs and frost crackles underfoot.

Looking up at silhouettes in the sky.

Shadowed by the night sky.

Soon to be flooded in daylight

In between seasons

Taken on my walk to work this morning. I’ve added some scribblings from the other day.

 

Life is a series of in betweens

Paths that seem like dead ends

and some that are not.

Filled with joy beauty, hard times and wonder.

 

And sometimes it’s a fight

to see the light in the darkness

But most of all I cling to the hope that He is mightier than any troubles that I face.

Even in sorrowful times

I am glad that He holds it all

 

And brings comfort amidst the tears.

And when I look back

I’m in awe of all He’s done

And grateful that He’s there

all the time.

Thursday scribbles

Hope Over Fear

Reminding myself that amidst uncertainty

I can still choose hope over not knowing what’s next

Hope over fear

Hope over shame

Hope over negativity

Hope amidst challenges

That it’s light that dispels the darkness

Light is life giving

It’s where the magic happens

and new ideas

become more than just dreams

Where the sparks of imagination fly

and old patterns become new paths

Interwoven into who we are
