lilacs! they are always in bloom on my birthday, which makes me so happy! & they smell so amazing!! & of course i take way too many photos of them! here they are in full bloom. oh... i love them.

polaroids & beach memories. :)  there are no beaches where i live... so i really love my california beach memories, captured on polaroid film. i just love looking at them! plus, polaroid film is hard to get these days... so sad. (i keep thinking about buying a fuji instax mini camera... the film is much more affordable.)

pretty songs.  this has been one of my favorite songs for a while, i have been listening to it today! the words are so good. {listen to it here}

{divine romance by phil wickham}

the fullness of Your grace is here with me

the richness of Your beauty’s all I see

the brightness of Your glory has arrived

in Your presence God, i’m completely satisfied
for You i sing and dance

rejoice in this divine romance

lift my heart and my hands

to show my love, to show my love
a deep deep flood, an ocean flows from You

of deep deep love, yeah it’s filling up the room

Your innocent blood, has washed my guilty life

in Your presence God, i’m completely satisfied

life is beautiful. happy thursday everyone!
