Lately

testing out red lipstick.

 Hello guys! It's been awhile... :)

I've been making the most of my summer with time off from school.

Spending time with family, friends, & 

my baby cousin who's home for the summer from college.

One of my favorite things to do is hitting up new restaurants & dessert shops.

Yes I am a big time foodie though it doesn't show.

Hope you all are well and enjoying summer! ❤❤

Billy Graham such a wise man. Love him. 

I love being on mountain tops and hate being in the valleys.

But I know it's such a crucial place I need stay in and something I am learning to embrace.

Hard? Hek yes but good. Uncomfortable? Hek yes but still for my own good.

A few months ago, God was speaking to me about the 

importance of staying in the process and not rushing through it.

I was at work going through files and glanced down and bam!

These words pop right out at me:

"Do not alter it or create your own version."

You bet I did a double take!

When I first saw these words, I was in shock mode but once it sunk in, I felt so much peace, followed by a renewed hope that what I was going through truly has a purpose & 

it is not in vain or annoying (bratty voice).

In my waiting (vague i know), I'm tempted to make my own plans

 (like I usually do) but 

I know it's so important to stay in this season so that I can truly grow and be more 

equipped to take on challenges for the next season and more importantly,

I believe that when the time comes

 I will truly enjoy it with a grateful heart. 

So if you are in a waiting season like me, know that you are not alone and that

God has a plan and purpose for everything.

I decided to get a little more personal here so I will be posting weekly photos of my life in square images. :) 

I went to "The Still Believe Tour" this week at the Warfield in Sf. I love Jesus Culture, I remember when their conferences were still small and held inside Bethel church. 

Now they are packing out venues and touring the world! 

See the bridge there, that's the bay bridge in Sf! No, I don't live in sf, but I'm there quite often and I live in the bay area so it's a quick trip. I certainly appreciate it more than ever, like most most things that come with age (sign of getting old!).  If you haven't heard of the Bay Lights, I definitely recommend you check it out. The Bay Lights is a monumental light structure designed by world-renowed artist Leo Villareal. I know this only because we watched the live streaming debut in my art class haha. Anyway here is the link, it's an amazing piece of art and project. If you're in town, you definitely should swing by especially since it will only be up for 2 years. 

I found these crazy comfy coral wedges at Nordstrom's rack and wore it with fushia lips to a birthday party over the weekend. 

Till next time. :)
