Traveling…with Louise!

First of all I want you to know that this post is coming from the bottom of my heart with much love.
I have always loved travelling and all my life I have been moving thus no permanent place to call home (the perks of being a PK!)! I know we all desire to travel the world and experience the cultures and untold beauty in person, but not all of us make it. Maybe is because of our geographical location, physical setbacks or financial problems. But it doesn’t hurt to dream and wouldn’t it be a beautiful feeling to realize in one way or another, we have contributed to a dream come true for some one, a relative, a friend?

In this blogging journey, I have been blessed with amazing blogger friends.
Louise holds a special place in my heart and she is fundraising money to go to Japan. Isnt that awesome?!?!
So I am humbly requesting you to head over to Trevolta and check out her campaign. Oh and to know more about Louise, check out her take on LOL here.

I would be an honor if you contributed

So basically this is the season when resolutions are being made and honestly, I haven made mine yet. I realized I lack motivation seriously and Its getting worse! But that really not the reason why I am here.
This week despite the lack of drive to do anything productive(that’s bad for a new year right>), I have learned and discovered a lot from various sources.
fellow blogpal Taylor opened up her quote shop and it has beautiful products worth checking out.
I have been reading a lot of resolutions on blogs and they inspire me to be a better person but this one particularly spoke to me

And since it is a new year, I am thinking of taking this blog more seriously by adding a button to grab and many more things I cant reveal yet

What have you been up to this week?

What Life Is…

January 5, 2014 ~ Sophie ~ 5 Comments

This year started on a great note. I remember us sitting in the shade high up in the mountains enjoying the cool (extremely cool-almost cold- we were wearing sweaters) weather during lunch time sipping piping hot balsam tea and thinking “we could get used to this!” Little did we know that there was so much more in store for us because the next day we found ourselves in the middle of a fatal car accident where a lot of damage was made and an animal lost life. An accident so complex even I can’t fully fathom what happened and let alone explain it. I am a person of a few words(speech-wise! I tend to babble a lot on paper and computer. Ha!) and whenever I am asked how I feel, I give the usual ‘fine’ because I am not really sure I can explain the emotions within. A great miracle happened and I find myself most often wondering: What would the world be doing if I were dead?, Did I deserve to be saved? Am I even worthy of the abundant grace shown to me? I know by my own self I am not and this is why I am grateful for everything. It’s easy to get wrapped in the everyday and not realize life is frail. What happened has taught me to value what matters and to be grateful. And so I am GRATEFUL:
that God is God and that He is a loving God.
for this life
for friends
for this year
for the past year
for my family
for all the regrets
for all the challenges
for all the triumphs
for all the joys
for all the haters
for all the letdowns
for all the tears
for all the laughter
for all the silliness
for all the humiliation
that I can still sing
that I can still sing about how great God is
that I can walk
for all the challenges
that I can still write in this webspace
for my siblings
for the neighbors
for the heartache
for all I have been through
for the air I breathe
for everything for it makes me who I am and my life and it’s all part of a process I am destined to be.
Happy New Year friends and I wish you the Lord’s blessings in everything.
